Pretty sad these days when all it takes to be Top 34 is to make every start. It's the same teams making the race every week. It's financially not worth it for poor teams to risk not making the show, so they stay home. Obama seems to think it's OK to just let NASCAR die.


Something else I agree with Obama on!  He's right!

Please explain to me how he wasn't locked into the field!?!??! He was 34th in points!!!!

Let me guess...NASCAR changed the rules just to screw over Robby!! It's probably Top 33 locked in now or something.

Maybe because he didn't qualify it himself

Apparently Robby was out of the Top 35 in owner's points, despite being 34th (before last week) in driver's points. How did that happen? Some of the other teams probably forced him out of the Top 35 by selling their points and all that crap they pull. It's really disgusting what the big teams can get away with.

Yeah, but he probably wouldn't have been able to qualify any better than Musgrave. There are many, many times Robby would have missed the field if he wasn't in the Top 35. He's a terrible qualifier. Musgrave probably gave him a better chance of making the show than anyone, including Robby himself. I guess Robby was docked 25 owners and drivers points a few weeks ago for an illegal door. What the hell? That cost him big-time. Now after missing a race, he's fallen waaaaaay behind #35 in owners points. He's still in 36th, but not by much. And the gap up to 35 is huge. You can't afford to miss that first race because you get a ZERO that week and will never catch up to the guys who have made every race. He probably won't make another race this season, other than the 2 road tracks.

I find auto racing to be stupid and boring.  Watching cars drive around in circles to the left just doesn't interest me.  But trust me...there is no closet love here. 

Basketball, on the other hand, I hate. 

Can't explain why...Just hate it.  I'd rather watch NASCAR, That Afghan game where they ride around on horses throwing around a dead goat or paint dry than pay any attention to anything regarding Basketball.  People can never understand why I have no interest in the NCAA brackets in March.  It's simple really...I hate Basketball.

Who do you think would win a race between the Road Runner and Speedy Gonzalez?

We only got one angle of Sadler crashing into the wall, so it was difficult to tell how fast he was going. But with his engine flying out of the wreckage, that's a pretty good indication he was still going fast! That crash would have been fatal if not for the Hans (sp?) device they started using after Earnhardt's death. Good to see a Ford in Victory Lane. That one's for you, Jack Roush!...get well soon! That guy has nine lives after surviving two plane crashes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQXugT11Js8

Most of the video is of Kurt Busch's #2, which was also involved in a crash at the same time. Fairly early in the video you will see Sadler's #19 with the engine laying on the track. Then at 1:37 you can see the only video that captured Sadler's crash. Look at the bottom right of the screen and you will see the head-on collision. I was so relieved when they said he was OK!

Robby must have really PO'ed the racing gods to have two cars go out within laps of each other.

Looks like Robbie owns both cars as he is back in the 7 today. Conway didn't get in the field with the 07
