Had the 100pt penalty not been overturned RGM would have dropped to 36th in owner points today.

I thought that there was a fire in the car? that is what I heard somewhere and I didn't get to see the race. How much time did he loose due to that? Is that why he was laps down. What I did hear he was running good and seemed to be making smart decisions (This was early in the race) If thats the case it s just a shitty deal, I just hoped that they learned that Q runs on the first day of practice is how you should do it and then dial in the race settup on the other practices. I was glad to see that at least and I think that if they start doing that every week it will help the finishes. I hope

Hi guys- well I know MIS is over and UGH Bristol too. But what is with Carl Edwards???- I just read he gave his MIS trophy to some guy in a wheelchair. Ok that is nice, but I hate it when CE wins because it seems he does not value the hardware. I am sure Robby would NEVER give his trophys away - they are too hard to come by. Besides those people who get them doen't really appreciate all the hard work that went into the Trophy. In this respect Edward is a real JERK - if you are going to give the trophy away, give it to a crew member or the team. He should savor those trophys - and give them to his grandchildern. Joan

I totally disagree with you Joan. Carl Edwards gives away every trophy he wins to some one who is less fortunate, in some way i.e. handicapped, suffered a personal tragedy etc. . He won it and he can do with it as he pleases. If Jack doesn't care why should you? I think the gesture is a fine example of being considerate , thankfull and and being a good sport to the max.

I agree with you. I bet that person really appreciates that trophy. My cousin used to clean Carls teeth, she said he is very nice and nothing fake about him.
