Brian Vickers YOU SUCK!

Anyone watch the Talledega race, what a meatball move by Vickers. Wish that pansy took his victory lap.

I saw it -- I think it was honestly a mistake. It looked to me like Johnson got a little loose when he made the move to go around Junior. Since Vickers was in the throttle to "push" Johnson to the win, if that bobble slowed the 48 up at all, then Vickers was gonna tap him and probably didn't have enough time to react. Plus Junior was playing the blocking game and made Johnson have to dodge a little.

If you listened to Dale Jr, Vickers and Tony Eaury Jr afterwards, they all said it was "just racin". Vickers sounded to me like he really was intending to help Jimmie get the win.

Sure Johnson is pissed off, but there's no way he could've made the pass by himself, so if he wasn't comfortable with Vickers helping to draft him past Earnhardt, then he should have just sat behind Junior and taken 2nd.

Next year Johnson won't have to worry about having Vickers for a teammate. He and Gordon can just circle-jerk each other all season.

anyway -- that's racin!

Yah I hear you,but both Vickers and Gimmie Johnson crash people with stupid moves.

That's all you could hear were people booing him on TV.He shoulda taken his victory lap like a man

Yah it's racin,but lets face it ya gutta blame someone,that's half the fun of being a fan.

I was laughing when Gordon was behind the wall wimpering about guys bump drafting, the he goes "Jr.s the worst one out there" what a tool.

Jr. knew he was a sitting duck with out any bump draft help.Waltrip & Jr worked awesome together on the super speedways.

At both Talledega & Daytona you want to be 2nd in the 2nd to last lap,Jr knew that. To bad he got collected up in the mess.

Man, and the sad part is JR wasn't even pissed off.

I would have ripped him out of his car and beat him. Just like the good ole days

To many frickin rules now,it's sad when you have to radio NASCAR in fear of getting penalized for drafting.
Gordon whines at every super speedway about it,but yet he's the reason for the yellow line rule when he nearly killed Rusty Wallace a few years ago in the Daytona 500.

I used to not mind Gordon. But lately I think he's been trying to shake his "good guy" image by being an ass on the track -- bumping and wrecking people intentionally. (Course he whines up a storm if someone does it to him.)
He needs to go back to being the pretty-boy, nice-guy. Like him or not, that image worked for him. And he was popular because of it. He can't do "bad boy" -- he needs to leave that to Tony, Kurt, etc...

Has anyone heard if Martin, Jarrett, Shcrader or any others of the "old guard" have made any comments about the finish? Those are the guys with the experience and reputation to voice a meaningful opinion.
