Talladega Last Lap

[eightball]

yes i agree kcbc after all that has happened keselowski did the right thing.

btw i thought that was awesome one way or the other....

lots of people calling for changes but i say don't change a thing and take the bottom 25 rows of seats and move them up top and let the cars go airborne backwards over the finish line every time as long as the drivers don't get hurt i love it!!

If you like to see cars wreck, I suggest you go to demolition derbies!

 oldbill unlike yourself username owns and races a car that he has to fix and pays for himself so i doubt he likes to see cars torn up or see people get hurt but does like to see exciting races like most of us . When people like you start with the ¦nbsp;" both drivers are guilty of dangerous driving " or ¦nbsp;" drivers need to police themselves " nonsense it really doesn't wash with most of us that race . ¦nbsp;I doubt you were in any danger of being hurt sitting on the couch Sunday watching the race , but i do think most people that paid ¦nbsp;upwards of $ 100 + for a seat at Dega probally thought it was a heck of a race and a great finish .

 Racing is a dangerous sport , always has been and always will be but if you find it too extreme for you in your declining years may i suggest you try women's synchronized swimming where they have never had a a serious wreck .

If everyone thought like you, eightball, synchronized swimming would be a contact sport.
Some of us like racing not crashing.

The only thing exciting these days in Nascar is plate tracks and Bristol, other than that what do ya have? Oh thats right a bunch of 1 mile shit tracks that put you too sleep!!! That's why Dega is fun to watch, lets go back 20 years and you tell me there were no wrecks. If you dont like it dont watch it.

I do not race myself and do not watch races hopeing to see a crash. What I watch racing for is the competition and the fact that there is the chance of something happening. Knowing that at any moment with the cars always on the edge that there is a chance that something will happen is what keeps people watching. Racers are managing controlled chaos all the time. I enjoy watching guys drive and wonder "how the hell did he get out of that situation!?" Kyle Busch crashes every lap he drives! If there was no risk / reward benefit no one would watch and no one would drive. Crashes and flips are a couple of those things you don't want to happen but when they do and everyone walks away you get a rush. The Cup cars are so safe these days that I think the drivers have a sense of invinceability and that is what causes crashes. Not the track, not the tries. Guys put themselves in situations that probably aren't the best. But whether you admit it or not....we all tune in for that. The last lap at Darlington a few years ago between Kurt Busch and Ricky Craven was a thriller. The only difference between that and what happened at Talladega was no one flipped and hit the fence but no one was saying that it was dirty driving. I am willing to bet that most everyone watched every lap at Talladega. Can you say that for California???

"In my opinion, both drivers are guilty of dangerous driving. Edwards was blocking but Keselowski could have avoided contact but deliberatly drove into him.
This could have resulted in serious injury or death to a driver or spectator. NASCAR must police such actions. The drivers will not police themselves."

wow! is this the first nascar race you've ever watched at a superspeedway?
NASCAR has rules in place that specifically put both drivers and thousands of fans in this situation. the drivers did exactly as nascar asked.......no, they did exactly as nascar demands!
nascar should never have implemented the yellow line rule, they should have implimented a NO blocking, or maximum one direction per block rule!
i applaud both brad and carl for calling a spade a spade, and calling nascar on this one. the most i cheered all day was during post race interviews when they both expressed the opinion that nascar was at fault. which is the right opinion.
