Tony's just doing the same stuff that everyone seemed to like about Earnhart, only a lot less of it.

It's all about sponsors. He buys his way in so he can put the sponsor's colors on the car. I remember Darrell buying his way in through Carl Long a few years back, and it's been done a few times since by others. That's how much it means to have those sponsors colors going round and round in circles. Mikey has a new team, and they're not nearly as good as his DEI team. They're also shunned by the manufacturer he drives for since he's going to Toyota next year. Personally, I wish NASCAR would give up the provisional BS. If it's not the 43 fastest cars every week (and it isn't), it ain't racing. The racing in NASCAR isn't really as good as the IRL anyway. There's where the close finishes are, and they can race wheel to wheel without nearly the amount of banging.

The Connecticut coach who wins by 50 or more ought to have to play Springdale (AR) High School as punishment. Then they could lose by 100 or more.

NASCAR needs to run stock cars like they did in the 50's and 60's. Put a roll cage in 'em and run stock motors with OEM parts available to everyone, and only the engine that comes in the car available to the public.

Green Light... RED LIGHT! haha go back to the beginning.
They were trying to pull a fast one on the rest of the field and got caught. He could have avoided the penalty by going through the pits without stopping, but he didn't even though they knew by the time he stopped the pits were closed. He deserved what he got.
