Hahaha! The racing gods have been really cruel to Shrub in the month of
May. First he loses the Nationwide Darlington race, then both Charlotte
races because of rain and now he loses the Dover Nationwide and Truck
race. It's about time he fell off his high horse.

I hope Carl wins soon, losing the Blick to the 17 team seems to have
hurt his Nationwide team.

The Kyle Busch Bad Karma Tour continues with a double header of bad luck
at Dover. In one day he dominated the Nationwide AND Truck races, only
to lose both. In this one, his teammate knocked the living hell out of
him on the last restart. Somebody call the Coach!!!

Horrible. That is even worse that giving that trophy to Reutimumm last
week at Charlotte.

It's May 30, not May 31.

I was thinking that Keselowski boozes out to victory lane after Kyle
bumps out.

Joey picked the worst time to have a great restart. He assumed wrong and
got burnt. Kyle clearly had issues going into the corner and Joey would
have one this race if he wasn't glued to Kyle's bumper when it happened.
Another Chevy lucks his way into victory lane...what else is new?

Krama really opened up a six pack on Shrub today.Losing both the
Nationwide and Truck races after dominating 'em...hahaha nobody could of
scripted that one.Maybe "Wild Thing" will think twice 'bout bashing his
crew and acting the part of a spoiled prick from now on,though that's
asking alot.

Some may think Busch had "bad luck" today in both the Nationwide and
Truck race.

That maybe the case

or it may not be

When you run agressive and all out every lap, a tire going down isn't
always luck, it sometimes is a result of going hard every lap.

CarlEdwards99,

How do you explain the tires problems in the truck race?

A driver seemed to get tire problems after 27 laps in that race.

A lot of truck series drivers had problems in the truck race including
Todd Bodine,Colin Braun, And Rick Crawford for an example.

Brad Keselowski steals yet another win away.

His Nashville win was legit.

Bristol, he was 2nd when Bowyer slipped up, and now this.

He had top 5 cars in both of them....but he only has 1 legit win.

Tough day for Steve...running top 15, had a tire going down, slowed down
and was hit by Newman a bit.

Later back in the top 15 he blew a tire and hit the wall pretty hard..no
caution, but it effectivley ended his day.

Wow! Lead the most laps in the last dozen or so races and not win any?
Due to blown/cut tires/penalties/damage/Rain did I miss any? Some of
these are of his own doing or of the teams doing. I don't feel to bad
for him its called creating your own racing luck.

3PT, All of Keselowski's win have been legit. He was a Top 3-5 car in
every one of his wins. Its called putitng yourself in position to win a
race. He was running well enough to capitalize on mistakes. You know why
it was him in victory lane? Because he didn't make those same mistakes.
He earned his victory's he didn't steal them like Mike Bliss and David
Reutimann with a freaky caution traping everyone a lap down and then
rain, no, he races his way to the win.

That said I'm still ticked Joey got caught up in Busch's obvious problem
and now everyone thinks he did something wrong. Joey should have won
this race.

"Horrible. That is even worse that giving that trophy to Reutimumm last
week at Charlotte."

You can't even compare the two. At least Brad had the Gibbs cars in his
sight before the last caution, no small feat considering how those two
cars have run in the last two years. Reut was FIFTEENTH and didn't have
to do any racing after inheriting the lead.

There was tire issues, but running all out every lap doesn't help the
matter and it could of been the difference between the tires on Kyle's
truck and car lasting or not.

I'm not saying running all out was the casue, it may or may not be, just
saying a tire going down isn't always a matter of "luck"

Dale's grandson and Kerry's son Jeffrey Earnhardt has his first attempt
to go Nationwide racing end in a DNQ.

Can somebody explain to me how the hell John Wes Townley still has a
ride in this series. His family has to be involved somehow, because
other young drivers who wreck this often get canned quickly, unless
their Dad owns the team(Rusty's Boy) or provides technical support
(Shane Hmiel).

I don't really know anything about him or his team. I just know that
every race I have seen him run in Nationwide or the Trucks he has been
sponsored by Zaxby's and every race he has been in he has either wrecked
in practice, qualifying, the race, or a combination of the three.

Does his Dad own Zaxby's or something? Like 21woodbrothers said on his
drivers page, he should be called John Wrecks Weekly.

DSFF
If I am correct, Townley's daddy owns Zaxby's so hat is why he is still
driving in Nationwide.

That's correct, JWT is the son of Tony Townley who just happens to own
Zaxby's. And I too think he might he might be one of the worst drivers
I've ever seen. To have two DNQs only 12 races into a season is pretty
bad. And of the 10 races that he has qualified for, 5 of them have been
DNFs.

He needs to go back to ARCA (where he never won a race) and start over.

Has anybody ever had food from Zaxby's. I was wondering if it is any good.

Thanks guys. After I posted that, I went back to his driver's page and
realized the same guy I quoted, 21woodbrothers, mentioned that. I knew
he had to have some kind of family connection to still be around. And I
figured he was involved with Zaxby's.

I have never had food from them. I'm not even sure if they have any
franchises in my area. But that guy who posted on his driver's page says
they are nasty.

Same type of deal for Ken Butler III. Notice that every car or truck
he's ever driven is sponsored by Aaron's. Also notice that the president
of Aaron's is Ken Butler Jr.

It's bad enough that a lot of sponsors only care about marketibility and
now how well the driver drives. But sponsoring your family to make sure
they always have a ride is a new low.
