Although, after all the discussion and Monday morning quarterbacking,
Benny Parsons said on RPM2Night that JG was completely doing the right
thing, ie. what he had to do to win the race. I think that it was a
little out of character for him (JG) and maybe a little out of line, but
I also think that BP makes a valid point. Tough call and just maybe in
the heat of the race, hasty decisions were made. Hmmmmm.

NASCAR doesn't decide who gets the TV rights. Its the track owners.

Rusty said in the post-race interview that he had backed off a car length
and tried to anticipate the green. I also noticed he was scrubbing his
tires a lot, where Jarrett didn't seemed to be. Could be that Jarrett just
didn't have the traction when the flag dropped.

That was pretty sad. They also completely ignored Bodine, who I thought ran
a pretty good race.
