I honestly don't watch many races any more. I work outside most Sunday's and have a small radio tuned to MRN or PRN and listen to it.

If you could find somebody who's known me for years, although I don't think I posted this in '07 to look for it, I told people with the way that wing is shaped, it would push the car up in the air until that wing was at 90* angle with the ground if hte car got turned backwards at any more than about 150 mph.... and by the time a car is backwards those roof flaps are practically helping it over (I took HONORS Physics in High School and made an A), well, who proved right? Of course, I'm telling you this after it happened, it could happen with a spoiler, but it's not as likely, the wing practically negates those roof flaps. The wing has that more curved shape, where as the spoiler is flat, so the air can't realy push against the angle quite like it can the wing.

Three races of probation... they gave him probation until the end of the year after that mess with Kyle Busch at Bristol... NASCAR really is sticking by that letting the drivers police themselves rule. I'm going to say, even as a fan, that they should have required anger management or something for this... that was crazy!

What is probation anyways (as it pertains to racing)? What can a driver do when they are not on probation that they can not do when they are on probation? Has probation ever added up to a real penalty in the history of Nascar? Its laughable. But its all a good time. I'm actually impressed with how professional Keselowski has sounded in his comments... and how much of straight shooter Carl has been. Its true that Nacar left it out there for Carl to settle but never penalizing Brad. And I'm pretty sure Carl's message got through!

Personally, I wanna see more (any) fist fightin'!

3 race probation is a joke, but you can bet Nascar will be watching them closely. They are having a big meeting with the owners and nascar, so I think this will put an end to it all for now.

Nah, this won't be over for awhile I don't think. Kevin Harvick was on probation one year, screwed up again, and they suspended him for one race. That is all I've ever seen come out of it.
