Busch wrecks Earnhardt Jr. at Richmond

I'd ask why he would wreck Jr. and cost himself a chance for the win? I'm not a big race fan but when they stated fighting for first place I knew a wreck was coming.

Hey... that's our driver you guys are talking about! Seriously, I could careless about Nascar, but seeing as how you guys do... I have the chance to go to Dover and watch a race in person, meet Busch, etc. Is it worth the time to go down there? I mean, what the hell do you do at a Nascar race but watch people drive in circles? Of the people here who've seen a race in person, would it be fun for someone that isn't a Nascar fan?

You would most likely have a great time. If you are not a fan, at least do it once. TV really doesn't show how fast these guys are going. You've got to see it live.

You'll see some interesting people too.

I'm not much of a race fan but I have been to one race and it really is a good time. It was a short track Martinsville and we had a blast. Go to the short races on Sat. (not sure what they are called) they run like 10 laps their crews consist of children, neighbors, and a small tool box. We just sat there and drank a few beers (you can carry your own cooler to the races) and took turns picking driver and betting. Tail gating is fun and just watching the mix of people from red necks to Mr Office man.

Even if not a NASCAR fan you need to go. There is nothing like the sound of
43 race cars running around the track. What's the worst thing that can happen if you go...become a NASCAR fan?

Like redsk1 said, you can't appreciate the speed until see it in person. I'm
a gearhead, so love the smell and sounds of a race.

Sometime before the season is over, I see Kyle being sent spinning and "just hard racing" will be excuse.

I like Jr, but not a fan. Not a fan of Kyle Busch.

I agree. It seems as if even the apparent intentional wrecks are pawned off as "just hard racing". Wrecks make racing MUCH more interesting, so they aren't going to try to punish it extremely hard. They will come up with any excuse to make it OK.

Just reference JGR and "smoke"...he wrecked a lot of people in his day (for some reason he isn't wrecking people this year) and people just took it as hard racing.
There is a line between hard racing and wreckless driving...and Busch was wreckless.

Another great weekend for Stewart/Busch

Didn't stewart end up -1 lap? I wouldn't call that a great weekend.

Busch looks unstoppable this year.

I was talking about Stewart winning the Nationwide race, and Busch winning the Cup race. And yes, I realize that you don't consider Nationwide "real" racing

OHHH. Yeah, I don't watch the nationwide races. I see them as "the minor leagues" even though a lot of the Sprint series drivers race in it.
Is that even JGR when Stewart races in nationwide?
