Denny Hamlin should know by now not to stop on the track like he did especially when there is no reason too, he did that for one reason, and one reason only, he could clearly see Jr was going to win the race hands down, so Hamlin brings out the caution to give his team mate a chance. As far as the Busch/Jr incident, yes both were racing hard, both were giving each other the room they needed until Busch got loose. Instead of backing off the throttle just a little to regroup and go after him again, Busch keeps the throttle down, hey why not just drive into the car your racing in stead of taking another bite and going after him again, he still had two laps to go and would have had very good chance of winning. It was obvious Jr had opened up the bottom to give Busch a chance, Jr had been running the middle groove most of the night anyway.

Just a couple of x-tra thoughts, 1- Dale Jr may be Dale Earnhardts son, but he is not Dale Earnhardt they have totally different personalities and driving styles.

2- Yes Kyle drives more like Earnhardt but loses touch with reality, he just needs to keep maturing, he has come a long way and he is a highly talented driver.

3- I am a huge Jr fan and Dale Earnhardt fan before, not a huge Busch fan but i feel i am a core racing fan, i like to see them raced hard at the end like that but not to hte point that you don't know when to back off,Busch could have just as easily crashed himself out of the race as well, why would you want to put yourself in that position. Know when to back off just a tiny bit, truly Busch has tremendous talent, as does JR.

My two cents for what its worth....

Chris, I had a pretty big inkling that Kyle was going to dump Jr. there. He has held a grudge against him and Hendrick since last year, and said so after the race. Whatever, let him make that bed and lie in it. Denny Hamlin though I have the bigger problem with. He has a tire going down, and with more than 15 laps to go, he is blocking both cars and nearly wrecked all three cars. Then he drives 10 more laps and even though he had ample time and room to get to the bottom and ride the apron and pit, he chose to stop on the track. That is right up there with the guys who run lap after lap dropping fluid on the track. NASCAR needs to get on its game with issuing black flags. Denny Hamlin needs to grow up and realize the world doesn't revolve around him, and when he has bad fortune, not to soil the race for the other competitors.

The Denny Hamlin Bonehead-Teammate move was to go low and block Kyle when his tire was going down. That let Junior get the lead. Not very good teamwork at all on Denny's part.
