| Well, once again a DE fan lets their mouth get in the way of what little
| brains they have. I have always been a Ford fan and am a Ernie Irvan fan
| but I still like to see races when Earnhardt and Labonte and all the
other
| Chevy guys are running with the Fords, simply because it is more
interesting. Heck I even like some Chevy drivers and I would even like
Earnhardt BUT thanks to "fans" like Tom I really have trouble liking DE.
Anyone who watched the
| interview "objectively" with Ernie Irvan saw that he "did not take the
| blame for the wreck" but he did give a rational excuse and no hid "did
not"
| blame the wreck on Sterling. He did say Sterling came down but he also
| mentioned that Jarrett was on his bumper which caused him to slide up.
| Guess some people missed that part of the interview. Anybody with a
brain
| can watch the replay and see that Ernie's car clearly went up the track
and
| into Marlin. But it takes someone with a brain that works to realize
that
| this type of stuff happens and when cars are cutting through the air at
| 190 even the smallest bobble can cause a 14 car pileup.
Right On! Yes I am a fan of Dale Earnhardt! No I don't like Ernie Irvan!
No I don't like Jeff (Wonderboy) Gordon! Yes I like Rusty Wallace! (that
should stop the Chevy/Ford ideas) But as stated above, Ernie said the his
car was getting lose, Jarret was on and off the gas behind and that caused
him to get looser. When he tried to control the car, he did appear to
overcorrect his steering, causing him to drop onto the apron. (Who at this
point wouldn't have jerked the wheel a little?) At that point in the turn,
the cars have a natural tendency to drift up a little anyways. Maybe I'm
rambling.... Don't mean to!
After Bud at the Glen however, when Ernie stayed out after spraying trans
fluid onto the course (why didn't NASCAR black flag him anyways?) and
caused Rusty to slide into the tire barricade, I have dropped quite a bit
of respect for Ernie and his team.... I'm not trying to upset anyone, just
throwing in my 2 cents worth.... But hey! If Dales happy and content with
"Thats just racing" then so am I!
sorry not pertinent to the group.... But I just had to spit it out!
