Two observations from the Nationwide race...JV screwed the pooch there..

And the bucyrus energy commercial where the kid says
"Being #2 sucks" is the best commercial of 2011... Lol

Fellows did what he needed to do after the caution came out, but there was no way (especially with the video evidence) that Nascar couldn't give that win to Sorenson. Pretty tame race until the last couple restarts. Not sure what Jacque was thinking cutting into the grass like that.

Jacques made us canadians look bad. That was an idiot move. Man oh man. Fellows is good and Ranger and Fitzpatrick are good. Canadians in Nascar are gaining exposure. Sprint Cup should race Road America. 3 Road Races next year. I love road racing.

If Road America added some grand stands it might be in the game. However adding them pretense will never happen it would have to be a i'll do it if you do it. Not going to research it but who owns Road AMERICA again?

Ryan - yeah it was, but the other 99% of the race he drove great.

I was pulling for the 7.

What the heck was JV thinking? BONEHEAD move of the day...perhaps the year. I was really surprised he didn't get the hook from race control.

As for Ron. He showed remarkable composure after running so well all day and then getting the crap kicked out of him in the closing laps. He should have won.

If Ron Fellows knew how to restart... This race was easily his... Three times on the outside pole he got blown away coming to the green flag.

JV drove a helluva race... The black flag was his undoing.
It seemed almost guaranteed if he got back up there he was going to do
What he did...Papis really got KYd in that deal

All I can say, Nascar needs more road races! Best form of racing in Nascar.

Its not the cost of flying. He would miss a drivers meeting and/or would have a replacement qualifier, So, Robby would start dead last in one event or maybe both if some travel snafu happened. More road course racinig is missing from NASCAR.
As for JV. I like the guy,but he has the Bobby Hamilton Jr complex, 10 foot ego in a 4 foot body. He should have gone the tail end or something for the lawnmover racing move
