I agree with that as well....it is refreshing listening to Junior, Burton and that crew but I watched the first half of the season as well.

hwytohell Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Today in francecar , one to many Waltrip's in the booth. brian france has cooked his golden goose like a master chef. Every driver is plain low fat vanilla, E sr. would never survive in today's corporate francecar. They ruined Bristol . A small savvy racer just can't make the show . Superspeedway racing has and will be a wreck fest. I like the short tracks and road course races. francecar badly needs a tough as nails racer(s) like the Alabama gang or Jimmy Spencer or a young Tony Stewart back in the mix. Kyle Busch is a great wheel man , after race fighter , not so much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with the rule that allowed it, but he won according to the rules in place at the time. Or was that another rule that got made up as they went along?
