I can only take so much of the down home country spun bumpkin talk myself
I find he's ok when he's just sticking with what's going on out there on the track,
unfortunately that's the problem with the 4 hour races, to much free time.

and Yes! that was a great finish
looks like I had my eye on the right guy
Nice job by Hamlin

Your photo seems to go well with my description of Darrell Waltrip

regarding the cars not being able to drive forward on the grass after crushing the front end inward,
I think it must be the front splitter digging into the grass, I can see Jr. having problems after hitting the wall,
but Chase Elliott only hit the grass with the splitter and still got stuck. granted a lot of body damage, he still should have been able to back up.
