What are the chances that Robby drives the car in Happy Hour ? Might be a longshot, but you never know, especially if he feels ok.

I highly doubt Robby will be in Homestead today for happy hour.

I’ve heard a lot of interesting things over the years in racing. The garage is no place for those tender of ear, and if you have ever listened to a scanner during a Sprint Cup race, you know what I mean. There is nothing quite so … er, enlightening as Kasey Kahne (no, really!) suddenly bursting out with a string of unprintable obscenities in the middle of a race when he’s been totally silent for 75 laps. Yes, you learn some pretty interesting things if you keep your ears open.

But perhaps the strangest thing I’ve heard wasn’t a National Enquirer-esque half-truth twisted until the half has been wrung out completely. It wasn’t even a driver calling his crew something unprintable or (possibly even scarier) singing loudly, and it definitely isn’t the answer to the ever-popular what-happens-if-a-driver-has-to-pee-during-the-race question. (Do people really not know the answer to that one?)

No, the most outrageous thing I’ve heard lately is the assumption of many media and fans that one driver is the reason for falling ratings and growing disinterest in the sport. Because seriously people, that’s giving one person way too much credit.

You can blame Jimmie Johnson for a lot of things, including the premature demise of Robby Gordon’s new off-road racing helmet (a story in itself!). You can blame him for being a little too “company line” sometimes. But for single-handedly destroying NASCAR’s fan base? Now that’s a stretch. The only person with the power to ruin the sport entirely on his own is Brain France (and it could be argued that he’s doing a bang-up job of it). Putting that much power on a single competitor is downright silly.

but back to Fugelewski and Hamlin...

Denny purposely spun him early in the race (whihc he claimed he would prior to)...black flag 1 lap penalty for aggressive driving (if it was RObby that was a 5 lapper...lol)

Hamlin ends u 5th...Fugelewski 11th....they interview Fugly...and he says he's already over it, but Denny Hamlin has a lot of issues on and off the track and he's not going to feel any better in the morning for dumping him...

ESPN cuts right to Hamlin...saying Fugly said you wont feel better aboiut yourself....lol....Hamlin says oh I feel great right now. I had two goals for tonight..1. to win the race...2. to get back at him.
Nascar had to penalize me there (basically admitting it)...and the fact that other teams cheered me as I drove down pit road for the penalty attest to how many cars he tore up this year.."

Oh we have not seen the last of this pissing match,,,

WOW! How does NASCAR only give him a 1 lap penalty when he premeditated wrecking a guy?

I was at the race. You wouldn't believe the standing O Hamlin got when leaving pit road after serving his penalty. Even when they broadcast his post race comments he got another round of cheer. Seems like a lot of folks thought it was well worth the one lap penalty to see the 88 spin. and I might have been the loudest! And then for Hamlin to finish ahead of him was priceless.

Yeah, that's a two lap penalty!
