I understamd and know why they parked the 17 all im saying is i thought is a very minor nudge in return after the 35 flew up and innitiated his reaction. If that is all its gonna take to be parked this year then they may wanna get reserve parking,guys do that every week at every race track. I am saying this about 1 of my least favorite drivers. If he had actualy wacked him then fine but hey if thats the way its gonna be i got no beef. I just hope the same applys when other drivers (you know which ones) do the same thing.

Its not even about ticket price to me,its about value. The minor 1 dollar increase at the bowl will actually help in some ways. When paying the same price for a regular show it makes it simple. Which one i enjoy watching the most. In a perfect world i would go all 3 but economy and gas prices wont allow that to happen. May show up at thompson tommorw and see only 15 sk's there too. Once all 3 tracks are up and running regularly,im goin where i get the best bang for my buck. maybe its the bowl,maybe its thompson. I am very curious to see staffords car counts. If they struggle to fill the pits then you know its economy. Say what you want about that place but they always get the cars so if they dont have a good turn out then what you see is what you get.

Late models i thought palmer got the shaft big time. I dont even root for him but he didnt need to be parked,put to the back would have been sufficient. Bruce came flying up and gave him a nudge sayin whats up so he he nudged him back. Big deal i have seen guys do much worse and not even get called on it. It will be interestin gto how the year plays out.


the 17 made contact with the 35 on the front stretch after he returned from the pits. there was no contact by the 35.

Very well put Gino, any contact under caution is not tolerated and shouldn't be whether its a "friendly" nudge or driving someones car into the wall. It makes for an unsafe environment for the track workers and officials that are on the track during the cautions, and it is just easiest to not allow it at all versus making it be a judgment call of whether it was meant to be harmful or done in a dangerous location.

Also Sid i watched the webisode and very well done i like the captions and finish :D
