TOG ill agree w you , yes I don't like seeing any driver get hurt . Yes I do hope he gets well enough to come back soon . I just posted that cause it seems like everyone on here thinks I HATE NASCAR . Well to set the record straight , NO I DO NOT hate it . I just don't feel like its the give all end all of motorsports . I am a Robby fan 1st , off road fan 2nd , and racing fan after that . People just don't realize what a fantastic opportunity the SST series is for not only Robby but the offroad sport in general . Robby has been dreaming of this forever , and as a fan of Robby's I'm so happy to see him getting the cudos he deserves . Something he NEVER got in NASCAR .

Youre the king of the "NASCRAP" moniker. Makes it seem like you detest it

The old days of Talledega (pre restictor plate ) where pretty exciting I don't remember the wreck fests of today. The sling shot moves the freight train, It was one of the most exciting races to me, maybe I have just forgotten any carnage back then.

Concussions shouldn't be taken lightly. They can have serious long term implications and ........ (shit, I forgot what I was going to say)
