Great run for Mike Bliss and Dave Blaney shows he can still get it done
in the same car he won with in 2006 here.

Screw you ESPN.

Here's the deal: Yes, David Gilliland made a bone headed move. And yes,
it ruined Rusty's Sons race. Yeah, I said it, Rusty's Boy just got flat
taken out by somebody else's stupid mistake.

BUT.............

For the rest of the race we had to hear the ESPN announce team just
totally rip Gilliland. Was it a stupid move? Yes. Did he deserve the
treatment he got? No. And then we get Brad Daughtery (and remember, I'm
a huge Tar Heel Hoops fan) saying stupid crap like "He just got flat
taken out!" Of course it is nothing new for Brad to say something
stupid. But here is my point: HOW MANY TIMES HAS RUSTY'S BOY DONE THE
EXACT SAME THING!!!! He has NO room to complain. He has made enough
stupid moves to last 3 or 4 lifetimes. Then he smashes his thousand
dollar helmet like a child (which he admitted to in his interview which
I was impressed with). In his interview he said things like "the track
is fine, it's the people out there" or "you have to respect the other
drivers". Who the hell is HE to say that? What about all the people he
"respected" over and over again. And of course ESPN never brings up any
of Rusty's Boys past history. They act like he is a saint and everyone
is out to get him. They never said anything like "We'll I'm sure Rusty's
Son understands" or "For once it wasn't The '89 Champ's Boy making the
bonehead move". What a load af steaming crap.

What Rusty's Kid should have said was this: "I'm disappointed that we
got taken out by an unnessecary move that even Todd Bodine thinks was
stupid. But I've made plenty of those mistakes in the past myself, so I
can't really say much. It is very frustrating being on this side of it,
so I would like to apologize to everyone I've taken out with similar
moves in the past. And I want to thank my crew for sticking with me."

And another thing, this Joey Logano vs Greg Biffle fued has to be the
lamest fued ever. Although I like the way The Biff drives, he is one of
the underrated whiners of our generation. He was saying things like "He
needs to respect the veterans" or that other crap often said by Rick
Hendrick's Puppet basically meaning "Roll over and don't race me". And
Joey is a rich kid who has had everything handed to him on a silver
platter his whole life. He sure shows a lot of cockiness considering he
runs like crap every week in the Cup Series (except Darlington where
Cale Yarborough gave him a personal tutorial lesson) only to be bailed
out by Zippy's calls (he as absolutely mastered the wave around rule).
What a pathetic couple of "contestants". And of course ESPN treats it
like it is Yarborough vs Allison. Ugh.

And now, for the good stuff:

Helluva job Mike Bliss. How do you think James Finch felt watching this
race? His guy makes a Todd Bodine-esque dive through the grass and looks
like a jackass while Mike Bliss finishes second in an underfunded car.

Also a big shout out to Dave Blaney. He had the #87 car in the Top 5 for
an entire race for the first time since 2003.

Anyone else confused with Leffler? He said he shouldn't of been where he
was because he had an awful car, why didn't he come down to work on it
during that previous caution? I believe he could of waved everyone
around him if he thought that before the restart. I guess Leffler and
Scott Zipadelli aren't as smart as they thought they were.

Kyle dominated this race, but I actually think the rest of the action
was pretty dang good last night. And again, congrats to Bliss. I know
that #11 is looking for someone young for next year, but this guy
deserves to be in one of their two cars.

#87 was really a Braun car, as shown by the fact it was a Toyota and the
sponsor. This brings up an interesting point: Was this the first time
that someone OTHER than Jack Roush brought five cars to a Nationwide race?

#38 Leffler
#32 Vickers
#10 Sorenson
#43 Kahne
#87 Blaney

"Anyone else confused with Leffler?"

Yeah. I guess he was just waffling back and forth. He wanted to man up
and take credit for the whole thing which he should have. He even went
and apologized to some of the people that got taken out. But he couldn't
just accept all the blame on TV, so he basically threw his whole team
under the bus. He was trying to do the right thing publically, but his
ego got in the way and he made things worse. Even Denny Hamlin is more
mature than that as he showed at Cali last week. And that ain't saying
much!!

This race brought a smile to my face, but it is also an example of why I
hate this series. The Buckeye Bullet has his best showing in a stock car
since his win at this track three years ago. You'd could tell in his
post-race interview that he was proabaly just as happy by simply getting
to complete a race. Yet, he and Bliss are going to get ignored for
future rides so that some Cup regular can get more "seat time" and a Cup
sponsor can get a little more exposure. Since NASCAR thinks of
themselves as "entertainment", let me pose this question. What was more
entertaining: Kyle Busch winning, or Bliss and Blaney finishing second
and third?

Two races with the #11 team, and two second place finishes for Mike
Bliss, which is better than what anyone else was able to do with that
car. Looks like he's locked up a ride for next year. I hope Finch feels
like a damn fool for firing him, because he should.

Dave Blaney proves he still knows how to drive and brings home a strong
3rd place finish, first top 5 since 2007 July race at Daytona. Tony
Raines has an awesome run in the underfunded #34 car, 3rd top 10 this
year. And congrats to Shrub on a well deserved win.

"His guy makes a Todd Bodine-esque dive through the grass and looks like
a jackass while Mike Bliss finishes second in an underfunded car. "

That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the replays. Skinner tried
a similar move on Sauter in the truck race this year and it didn't end
too well for him.

"And Joey is a rich kid who has had everything handed to him on a silver
platter his whole life."

No kidding. A top notch Cup ride, the fan vote, the New Hampshire win,
he's been fed with a golden spoon his whole life.

David Gilliland is the stupidest driver in Nascar. Tony Stewart has said
it before, how does 1 busch win qualify you as a cup driver? And he has
the Wood Brothers, Robby Gordon, Finch, and now Gibbs going after him?

He goes 4 wide into the grass, on the 60th lap...not with 2 to
go....with 130 to go. They show his on board cam, he didnt even lift! He
was in the gas the entire time. He cut off Kevin Hamlin and ran straight
into Steve, ruining his day. And then of course Gilliland comes out of
it with no damage.

Yeah Steve shouldnt have thrown his helmet, and it was a terrible throw,
but he was very mature in his interview. But because of this wreck he
has no real shot at 5th position, and now could fall back as far as 8th.
So he has a right to mbe mad.

He also had a great car, he had passed tons of cars after his bad
starting spot.

Anyways great race. Great runs by Bliss again (hopefully gets the 11
full time next year), Blaney (who clearly deserves better than start and
park), Tony Raines (who ESPN interviewed), and Michael Annett (running
9th when he hit the wall at the end)

Im not sure but I think Justin Allgaier had a tire going down, or blew
up or something. He was about 8th on the last lap and he was shown going
very slow with lap cars passing him. He ended up behind Stewart who was
way back. Not sure though.

Ricky Stenhouse took a hard hit, glad hes ok.

Lefflers interview was very confusing.

Matt Kenseth called Eric McClure "the trash bag car"

I'm sorry DaleSrFanForever, but your rant is about Gilliland/Wallace is
completely making a mountain out of a molehill. The broadcasters weren't
sitting there ripping Gilliland for the rest of the race. They treat all
wrecks the same, and they've been known to mention bonehead moves for
every wreck regardless of driver. They tell it like it is. I remember
Randy Lajoie was one of the worst about degrading Steve Wallace. Heck,
even Rusty will start blurting out about how Steve needs to be more
patient and stop tearing cars up and all that. I don't know where you're
going with some of those points... yeah, Brad Daugherty is occasionally
hard to listen to, but "he just got flat taken out"? That was 100%
accurate. Some drivers learn, and some do not. You can tell that Steve
Wallace is learning, even John Wes Townley is learning, yet Cup veterans
like David Gilliland continue to make the same mistakes.

I respect your opinion BK. But to me, the announce team in the booth and
the infield studio went too far. I think there is definitely a bias
towards Rusty's Son. When Jason Leffler caused that big wreck, he was
let off the hook pretty easy by the announcers (as he should, it was a
racing accident and he somewhat manned up to it). But when Rusty's Son
got wrecked, they acted like David pushed the Pope down a flight of
steps. They couldn't say "That was in no way Rusty's Son's fault" or "he
got taken out by an impatient move" enough. During the race recaps when
they go over the race up to that point they just kept taking shots at him.

And one other thing. Rusty's Boy said something about being taken out 3
weeks in a row. Unless somebody has a better camera view of it, I think
last week's wreck was totally Wrecker's fault. It looked like he tried
to block Allgaier (whom he's having such a dramatic battle with for 5th
in points, just ask ESPN) then drilled him in Turn 1, cutting his own
tire. He is improving at the same rate continents drift.

DSFF, that's because the wreck that Leffler caused was the product of
hard racing while what Gilliland did was stupid and showed a lack of
patience. Leffler lost control of his car while Gilliland tried putting
his car where it didn't belong. Big difference if you ask me.

I agree that blocking the #12 last week was dumb, and he paid the price
for it. But his average finish has greatly improved from his rookie year
so he is getting it.

"And he has the Wood Brothers, Robby Gordon, Finch, and now Gibbs going
after him?"

WallaceFan, one stupid move makes Gilliland the stupidest driver in
NASCAR? That Todd Bodine move he pulled was dumb, but everyone, whether
it's Johnson, Dale Jr, Martin, Stewart, Edwards have all done dumb shit
in their careers.

He did a great job for both the Wood Brothers and Robby Gordon in case
you didn't notice. And he finished 8th last week for Finch.

Wallace and Allgaier didnt make contact in turn 1, that camera was shown
after contact was already made.

Steven went low to block Allgaier, and then Allgaier came up and crossed
Stevens front fender. The next camera view shown on ESPN was in turn 1.

I dont know if this has ever been mentioned before so, i will go ahead
and say it:

Has anyone noticed that ESPN pipes in the same audio track of fans
cheering at the beginning of every nationwide race? You may not be able
to hear it completly if you dont have surround sound.

Who else has noticed this?

On a side note, it sickens me that drivers like bliss, blaney, benson,
nemechek, the list goes on, do not have full time rides but somehow
mcmurray, mears, ragan, and sorenson continue to have cup rides year in
and out. granted the sponsors have a lot to do with it. i wish the
owners could hire whoever they want to drive their cars, you might see a
lot of differences in the cup races. maybe, even some better racing.

On the start and parkers, nascar should only pay out purse money to the
top 40 finishers. this would make the s&p's actually race for something
instead of just running two laps and collection 10k. hell, it may even
deteur some from ever coming to the track.

Okay, here's my take.

David Gilliland showed a lot of impatience in this race with that "Todd
Bodine" stunt he pulled, and took out Steven Wallace in the process.
While I'm willing to give Steve credit for apologizing for the helmet
throw, he has no room to talk bad about anybody else's driving after all
of the wrecks he has caused in his short career. This is the same guy
who has only three top-5's with a best finish of 5th in over 100
Nationwide races, while Gilliland won a race before he even hit five
starts. Sure, Steve has improved and is doing better but he could have
at least refrained from calling Gilliland a "washed up" Cup driver (I
saw that quote on NASCAR.com).

Jason Leffler... I've never liked that guy.

Another Kyle Busch win..... *yawn*

"This is the same guy who has only three top-5's with a best finish of
5th in over 100 Nationwide races, while Gilliland won a race before he
even hit five starts."

It's kind of hard for Steve or any other Nationwide regular driving for
a Nationwide team to regularly finish in the top 10 when Cup drivers
(Edwards, Busch, Biffle, Kenseth, Harvick, Burton, Bowyer, Hamlin,
Rollgano, Reutimann) have taken over the series. Beginning in 2006, a
full time Cup driver has won all the championships and have taken the
majority of wins. Hell, they even invade IRP, Gateway, and Memphis which
are supposed to be the time for Nationwide guys to shine. So how's a
Nationwide only driver supposed to compete with that?

I'm not saying ban Cup drivers completely, but make them run limited
schedules, say no more than 8-10 races a year.

And calling Gilliland a washed up Cup drivers isn't completely untrue
either. Gilliland is doing start and parks in Cup, which is pretty
washed up to me.

Nah, he can't be washed up. A better name for him is a (Cue Kurt Busch)
"Never was." To be washed up, you have to show that you have or had what

Better to be a has-been than a never-was. Although Gilliland didn't do
jack shit in Cup, his numbers there are about the same as Rusty's Boy in
NWide. And for the love of Pete, can we quit this whole "Rusty's Son is
improving" crap. OK, so he isn't wrecking every other week and not
destroying his car on garage fence posts anymore. He still sucks out

Kyle Busch won his 28th career race, breaking his tie with Jeff Burton
for 4th all time.

Mike Bliss got his second runner-up finish in 2 starts with the 11 team
and is now within a shot of getting back into the top five in points.

Blaney got his first top five finish in Nationwide since Daytona in
2007, and first top ten in anything in NASCAR since a 9th at Dover in
2008 for BDR in Cup.

Despite winning the pole Carl Edwards never led a lap and ended up 5th
so he's now 190 points behind Kyle.

Keselowski's streak of top fives ended at 8 but his streak of top tens
is still going strong at 13.

Justin Allgaier was the rookie of the race and is now 109 points ahead
of Steven Wallace for 5th in the standings. His ROTY lead is 18 points
over Brendan Gaughan.

Michael Annett got his 9th top 20 finish in the last 11 races. In that
stretch he's moved from 15th in points 354 points behind 10th to 11th
just 7 points back. He's also just 5 points behind McDowell for 3rd in
the ROTY standings.

Eric McClure got just his 4th top 20 finish this season.

This weekend David Gilliland proved why he's doing start and parks in
Cup. He drives four wide onto the grass in this race then smacks the
wall after losing his car all on his own in the cup race.

Mike Bliss should get a full time ride with a top tier team. To me he's
better than Keselowski.

Bliss probably will get stuck with a crappy ride because everybody wants
a young gun in their car. Now I am a fan of a young gun, but put someone
proven in your car who won't tear the car up every other week (see John
Wes Townley).

Mike Bliss might go down as a talented guy who never got a real shot at
Cup. He drove most of the Cup schedule in 2000 with a crappy team and
then drove the 0 Haas car in 2005 which was not only crap but him moving
up to drive for them practically ended Ward Burton's Cup career save his
mediocre comeback with MMM. He finished 10th in his first start for Haas
in 2004, and that year made 2 starts for JGR in an at-the-time 3rd part
time car and finished 4th at Richmond.

In 2006 he went back to Trucks and his 2003 Truck championship team, won
a race and finished 11th in points. He also ran a handful of Nationwide
and Cup races for crap teams.

In 2007 he drove most of the schedule in Nationwide with Fitz and in
Trucks with BHR and did great with both of them.

In 2008 he ditched Fitz for Phoenix Racing and ended up top five in points.

In 2009 he got Phoenix Racing their first win since 2005, got canned and
not only gave crappy teams like the 40, 87 and 81 top 20 finishes but
gave the 11 CJM team their best finish of 2nd twice in just 2 starts.

And that resume might not get him a good ride next year.

Still in denial, are we? You just said he's improving yourself - "OK, so
he isn't wrecking every other week and not destroying his car on garage
fence posts anymore."

And yet you still think he sucks. Tell us, what does Steve have to do to
prove to you that he doesn't suck? Win a Nationwide race? Pretty much
impossible to do when you've got someone like Shrub leading almost half
the laps run this season. Stop doing stupid things on the track? Even
your heroes, Kahne and Keselowski have done dumb stuff this year. Finish
ahead of his teammate? At least this year he's doing that.

Whatever happened to appreciating improvement? A guy has a rough rookie
season and automatically he sucks forever. People thought McDowell had
no talent until he started bringing in top 10s in S&P cars.

There's drivers who've done more with lesser equipment compared to
Steven like Jason Keller, Michael McDowell and Michael Annett.

That's not to say that Steven hasn't improved a ton, but he didn't start
off very good at all in the first place so his big improvements still
don't put him where he needs to be in order to have a shot at making it
to Cup.

But he's definitely been demolishing Gaughan as of late. In fact Justin
Allgaier could be a RWR killer this year by depriving Steven of 5th in
points and Gaughan of ROTY. Which is fine by me because I like Allgaier.

"And yet you still think he sucks. Tell us, what does S***** have to do

Do what Mike Bliss did in this race. At least come close to a win, and
get more Top 5 finishes. Run up front every now and then. Make some
noise in the "stand alone" events (you know, when "only" 4 or 5 Cup guys
show up) or short tracks. This is his third full time season. Time to
show something. And quit throwing shit everytime something happens to
you (the water bottle at Daytona, his helmet in this race). No, that has
nothing to do with on track performance, but he was done way stupider
shit than what has been done to him. Time to grow up. He's like the
Busch Brothers without any talent.

"You just said he's improving yourself "

Yes, by the technical term he is "improving". But considering where he
started, and the minimal progress he has made, it is nothing to crow
about. He is WAY behind schedule.

"At least come close to a win, and get more Top 5 finishes."

He finished fifth in spring 2008 Richmond race, behind 4 Cup drivers, 3
of which were driving for Cup teams. He also finished fifth in the IRP
race this year behind 3 full time Cup drivers and a Nationwide regular
with a Cup team. That's about as close to a win as you can expect for a
Nationwide only guy like Steve.

"Make some noise in the "stand alone" events (you know, when "only" 4 or
5 Cup guys show up) or short tracks."

He has done pretty well in stand alone events. 9th at Nashville in the
spring, 7th at Nashville in the summer, 6th at Milwaukee, 5th at IRP.
Iowa would have been a top 10 for sure if Justin didn't run out of
talent near the end. Kentucky, Gateway and Montreal were mediocre races
for him. 2 out of 3 crash DNFs this year (Daytona and Charlotte) were
not his fault in any way, shape or form. So yeah, he has gotten a lot
better.

"And quit throwing shit everytime something happens to you (the water
bottle at Daytona, his helmet in this race). "

I agree that there was no need to damage a helmet, but it sure as hell
is a lot smarter than testing the strength of your fist against a wall
(Davey Allison at Talladega 1991, Kyle Petty at Watkins Glen 2007). At
the very least it shows Steve has that competitive fire.

Bronco,

The top 4 finishers in the 2008 Richmond spring race.
1. Denny Hamlin (Joe Gibbs)
2. Kevin Harvick (Kevin Harvick)
3. Kyle Busch (Todd Braun)
4. David Ragan (Jack Roush)

That's only two Cup teams unless you consider Todd Braun a Cup owner.

Sorry, I thought Kyle was driving the 18 as usual. My point still
stands, Steve was the highest finishing non Cup driver in that race
which is pretty much the closest a Nationwide regular can get to winning
a race.

I also loved how he rattled Kyle's cage that day!

"That's not to say that Steven hasn't improved a ton, but he didn't
start off very good at all in the first place so his big improvements
still don't put him where he needs to be in order to have a shot at
making it to Cup."

Exactly. I mentioned earlier he has improved, but anyone should be able
to do that since they've had more time driving the racecars. Jason
Leffler and Mike Bliss can at least contend for wins, Steven not so much.

Jason Leffler and Mike Bliss have how much experience? Steve is still
only 22!

And DaleSr Fan...the S**** , He who shouldnt be named or whatever crap
is a little old. It wasnt funny the first time, it certainly isnt funny
the 300th time. The way you talk you probably arent even old enough to
have ever seen DaleSr drive.

Thank you Anonymous, I completely agree with both your points.

"The way you talk you probably arent even old enough to have ever seen
DaleSr drive."

Not only have I seen him race, I saw him win races in person in his
Intimidator prime. I saw him snap Harry Gant's 4 race winning streak at
North Wilkesboro by passing him on the outside. I saw him win the first
Coca Cola 600 to end at night after being a lap down TWICE due to
penalties (including once for spinning out Greg Sacks even though he
never touched him). After that race, when asked what he thought about
the new day into night race concept, he said "They can start these races
whenever they want, I'll finish them". Just awesome.

"He finished fifth in spring 2008 Richmond race, behind 4 Cup drivers, 3
of which were driving for Cup teams. He also finished fifth in the IRP
race this year behind 3 full time Cup drivers and a Nationwide regular
with a Cup team."

Those were a year and half apart. You'd think he'd have a few more than
that by way of osmosis, attrition, fuel mileage, or the Moon being in
the 7th House and Jupiter aligned with Mars.

"I agree with RR's comment above. I used to watch the Busch series in
the 90s, not so much anymore due to the reasons he stated."

You and I may disagree on a lot of stuff, but at least we know what the
Busch Series should be.

Good job Tony Raines as well.

All three of Stenhouse, Steve Wallace and JWT had wrecks in this race,
which is far from special, but all three were innocent parties in a
Sorenson spin, Gilliland divebomb and Kenseth(!) ARCA-brakes incident
respectively.
