Kansas, part II

Here's my rant.

1) There were two red-flag rain delays (where they stop the cars and park them on pit road until it blows over...or doesn't) The second delay, the rain was severe and there was lightning. It also washed all the rubber off the track.

2) It was at least a 3-hour delay.

3) They decided to resume the race even though a) none of the drivers had their cars set up to safely race on a track with no old rubber on it; b) the track was still wet; c) there was ZERO chance of finishing the race in daylight, and the Kansas track has NO lights.

4) They finished under caution in the dark, and then awarded the race to a driver who ran out of gas and couldn't maintain caution speed. NASCAR claims that he WAS driving an acceptable speed, but any of the thousands who watched the race could tell you that it wasn't true.

Now I'll speak as a Tony Stewart fan. He was fuckin' ROBBED! He would have been the winner, had they called the race after the huge thunderstorm, which for safety's sake, they should have. He had a great car. He was driving clean, and he hadn's pissed off anyone (well, except for ESPN the day before, but whatever). Then he got caught in a couple of accidents that weren't his fault, but as they say, That's Racin'. However, after one of those he got a cut tire and was waving his arm out the window to let the drivers behind him know he had to get off the track immediately, and Kurt Bush plowed into the back of him.

I think Kurt did it on purpose. Because he's a weenie.

Both those Bushes are weenies if you ask me.

Nah, Kurt's a weenie. Kyle is that kid from junior high who made you uncomfortable because he stared at you too much while breathing through his mouth.

BTW, Nick, I loved you in "Big Fish."
