Kyle Busch dominated early, fell back big time, then came back at the end with four fresh tires. Cool 9th place finish for Marcos Ambrose, and Tony Raines makes his first start of the year with the Gunselman Motorsports team. 3.

The 5, 14, and 88, all Hendrick affiliated rides, were off tonight. The 14 and 88 especially have been struggling with their short track program. 4.

Actually I take that back, Kyle Petty got distracted by off track causes that helped humanity, Junior's off track causes are acting like a frat boy. LOL at the water bottle bringing out a caution when it just happened to be the perfect timing for the wave around cars. I guess that's what they consider "Back to Basics"! Note to Bud and RPM, retro paint schemes look stupid when the car has a different number. I'm a long time fan who is familiar with the old Junior Johnson owned 11 Budweiser car, but it even took me a long time to figure out what they were trying to do with that. 7.

NASCAR loves now that with just one Bogus caution they can get 20 more cars back into contention. 8.

That, and Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon had passed him up and were looking stronger than Kyle at that moment. They made adjustments and came back and won the race, though. Brad Keselowski continues to show strength, qualifying 6th and finishing 14th. If the 12 team can keep this up, surely they can have something to build on to become a better team. All three RCR cars finish in the top-12. Overall, a very good night for Burton and Harvick. Bowyer looked better than he finished, though. Shout out to Marcos Ambrose for scoring a top-10 at yet another short track. 9.

His blue-and-pink Reynolds Wrap Ford blew a rear tire and spun causing the #19's other three tires to blow in the spin. He made it around the track only to break and get stuck on pit road where they had to tow him off from. 15.

Dale Jr has only his 2nd race of the season that he finishes worse than 16th, but a good run at Darlington will put him in the top 12 again. This was the 8th 2nd place finish for Jeff Gordon since his last win, he has now finished 2nd to 7 different drivers. Harvick's worst finish this year other than Martinsville is a 13th...wow. 17. Red posted: 05.02.2010 - 12:43 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I believe that's EIGHT second place finishes for Gordon since his last win. I'm beginning to feel kinda bad for him. Really glad to see Marcos bring home a solid top ten after all the mechanical gremlins he's had to deal with this year. Also nice to see Jeff Burton finish as well as he ran, for once. Junior cuts a tire and finishes 32nd, knocking him out of the top 12 in points. He doesn't have the speed this year to overcome bad luck, so I'd give him maybe a 10% chance of making the chase. The Kevin Conway Tour of Shame continues. He had no problems as far as I know, and still finished 13 laps down! Everytime they showed the leaders it seemed like Conway was being lapped. Pathetic. The wave around rule absolutely makes my blood boil. Kyle Busch raced his ass off to put all but 8 cars a lap down, then two quick cautions and suddenly there's 30 cars on the lead lap. All that work for nothing. What incentive do drivers have to run hard early when NASCAR will just put everyone back on the lead lap anyway? And then Ramsey Poston babbles stuff like "We average 25 cars on the lead lap, making this the golden era of NASCAR." Makes me want to hurl. 18. Neal posted: 05.02.2010 - 12:48 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Red - Ever since they debuted the CoT, NASCAR's become a spin machine. They'll talk about "quality passes" and a bunch of other contrived crap but they won't mention the fact that in most races, 50% or more of the lead changes occur during green flag pitstop sequences and within the first few laps after a restart. If the racing were so great, NASCAR wouldn't have to resort to moronic gimmicks like double-file restarts and multiple G-W-C finishes. 19. Smokefan05 posted: 05.02.2010 - 1:59 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Neal if you hate what NASCAR is doing then why not watch something else. Does anyone on here HONESTLY think all races have to have 100% action for 100% of the race? CART had the wave around rule and no one complained about that. Trust me if Kyle Busch hadn't had mid-race problems all but the top 5 would have been lapped. And people would have been complaining about that. The "fans" wanted a GWC (which we didn't have in this race) and "fans" still complain. What a world. Anyhow, Jeff gets out restarted by Kyle Busch and loses. 8 second places finishes since his last win. i wounder how much more Jeff can take of finishing 2nd? After taking forever, Cousin Carl gets his first top 5. Better late than never Carl. Truex Jr. gets a well earned top 10. Marcos Ambrose gets a top 10. JJ actually didn't lead a lap in this race. Jr. for whatever reason fell like stone and finished worse than Robby Gordon. (that doesn't happen very often) And Happy takes over the point lead. (like it matters) 20.

I (and thousands of other people) ARE watching something else. The ratings are off 20% from their highs of a couple years ago and now you're seeing stalwart tracks like Bristol with tens of thousands of empty seats. It's not just the economy. People have taken notice and have begun to stop eating the shit sandwich the France family has been passing off as caviar for the last decade. 21.

Zed 3_88fan4eva posted: 05.02.2010 - 4:41 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Can you people do nothing but bitch and moan and complain about every single race and how every lap is bullshit and every caution is a fluke and how the driver who wins the race doesnt deserve it and call it a fluke win even if he dominates half the dam race? Every race, except last weekend and even then thats all there is on these boards is nit picking on every little minute detail. This was a good race with great 2-3 wide racing all the way thru the pack. Yeah there is some tweaks that NASCAR could do but it seems like anything NASCAR does everyone bitches about how it was wrong. Not every race can have 90 lead changes cars going upside down into the fence and a last lap pass. There has been alot better racing this year than in the last few years and you people cant accept that. Ok Im hopping off my soapbox and saying that this was a good race with alot of side by side racing thru the pack. And Ive said it before that I dont like Kyle Busch's attitude but I love Kyle Busch the race car driver and he flat out dominated the first half of the race and at one point I believe put all but the top ten down a lap. He deserved this win tonight and had a great restart on Gordon. Great run for Ambrose as he seems to be turning the corner for this year. And I wonder if the 48 team is starting to slip a little. I mean when was the last time you saw two mistakes on pit road by that team and the Johnson flat not being able to drive the car for a good chunk of the race. I think tonight gives me hope for a fight for the championchip. Well on to Darlington and the Lady in Black 24. martin-n-rusty posted: 05.02.2010 - 6:20 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Honestly. I think if some of these "fans" were around in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, when drivers would typically dominate races, sometimes by laps, they would be having heart attacks by now. I honestly think some of these "fans" should just shut up. You have asked for certain stuff, NASCAR has, for the most part, complied, and you STILL complain! I agree that some of the cautions that are thrown are bogus, but every single one of us with common sense knows that if the bogus cautions did not exist, allowing the race to really get spread out, some of the same "fans" would complain that the race is too much of a snoozer, and something needs to be done. 25. Cooper posted: 05.02.2010 - 8:23 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) This is as normal of a flashback race you'll ever get. 18 cars on lead lap, three rounds of green flag pit stops, and at one point 8 cars on the lead lap. A low amount of cautions and no goofy GWC. This was a normal race that you'd typically see 10 years ago. A race is a race. 26. DaleSrFanForever posted: 05.02.2010 - 8:55 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) You guys know me, I can't stand Kryle Busch. But it still feels good to watch Gordon lose races like that. Why he didn't take the outside is beyond me. How many times have we seen Kyle do that on the outside? And why didn't Letarte pit at the end when Kyle did? The #24 was dominating, if he pitted, so would everyone else except maybe 2 or 3 cars which he would have passed easily. Letarte can set up a car, but he can't make pit calls to save his life. Ironic considering his first win with Jeff at Martinsville was due to a really good pit call. Beginner's luck I guess. The #18 has been great on the flat tracks this year. But oddly enough, as has been mentioned, the #14 has been junk on them. The #39 has been really good on them, but the #5 hasn't been good at all on them. This is a complete role reversal from last year. The shot of Elliott Sadler trying to get that #19 car to his pit stall on 4 flat tires sums up his career at the moment, which is the culmination of 5 REALLY crappy years. He had to sue the damn organization just to keep his ride. He may as well run every lap on 4 flat tires. 27. DieselDan posted: 05.02.2010 - 10:41 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I thought this was one of the better races in quite a while. As for the wave around rule, there is a trade off: you cannot pit to get the wave around. Jeff Gordon screwed himself, he should have lined up outside of Kyle Busch on that last restart. 28.

If Gordon would have taken the outside, Kyle would simply have packed her into Turn 1 moved Gordon up the track and Gordon probably would have finished 4th. DW was right - JG was between a "rock and a hard place". Could Gordon have knocked KB out of the way? Prob. and frankly I am a little disappointed he didn't, but KB just flat drove the hell out of that car on the final restart, I don't think anyone would have gotten past him at that point. 31.

This has been going on for almost 2 years, I don't see what isn't to figure out about it. If the crew isn't getting good feedback on what the track is doing, and more accurately how the track changes are affecting the current setup, then they are taking shots in the dark. 33. potatosalad48 posted: 05.02.2010 - 2:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) What does Jeff Gordon have to do to win?

I don't feel bad for Gordon considering he is a 4-time champion, 3-time Daytona 500 winner, 4-time Brickyard winner, and won 4 straight Southern 500's. During that time, he also dominated the road courses too. He has had more than his share of success in the sport. 38. loomer posted: 05.02.2010 - 4:11 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I have to say it's refreshing to see the 24 outrunning the 48 consistently now 39.

Talon64 posted: 05.03.2010 - 4:26 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Jeff Gordon had the race won until the backmarkers started wrecking. A lot of green flag racing during the majority of the race, then everyone starts screwing up at the end and bringing out cautions. I don't think there was anything Jeff could do otherwise, he had a couple really good restarts but everyone said that Kyle was the best at it that night so it was just more bad luck for him. I used to hate Jeff Gordon with a passion but I like him a lot more now and especially compared to Jimmie, so that's why I want to see him win. Speaking of Jimmie, the #48 pretty much gave up on the race at the end and turned it into a mini-test after pitting on just about each late-race caution. He fell to 2nd in the standings, 248 ahead of 13th. It's still a lot to hope for but Jeff Gordon was 2nd in the standings with 3 wins and 188 points ahead of 11th after 10 races in 2005 but missed the Chase so hope is still there. And just what I was afraid of, it looks like Stewart-Haas Racing's honeymoon period has ended. Newman is still running about as well but Stewart's really fallen off lately (5th to 15th in the last 5 races) and I don't think this can just be chalked up to his usual early-season struggles. Hopefully they can get back on track and quickly. 48.

I think these next four races will be real decisive in whether or not he will be chase material. Funny part is, where Stewart has struggled, Newman has done pretty decent. 49.

It's also his 90th top ten in his 196th career start so he's got a good shot at hitting 100 before the year is out. It's Kyle's 2nd Richmond Cup win and 9th top five in 11 starts for a 5.5 average finish. And it's Joe Gibbs Racing's 80th career Cup win. It's already been said that it's Jeff Gordon's 8th runner-up finish since his last Cup win. He's also led a lap in 8 of the 10 races this season and leads the series in laps led with 599, including 4 races with 92 or more laps led. Kevin Harvick's 3rd is his 4th top five of the year. One more would already tie the 5 he had all of last season. It's also his 12th top ten in 19 starts at Richmond. Jeff Burton's 4th is just his 3rd top ten of the season but the 225th of his career. Carl Edwards' 5th is his first in 23 races, and he led a lap for the first time in 13 races. The only lengthy negative streak left for him to break is his 46 race winless drought. The longest of his career was 52 races from the end of 2005 to the middle of 2007. JPM's 6th is the first time he's had back-to-back top tens. It makes me mad that he's run so well this year but he's had so much shitty luck that he's down in 18th in the standings when he should be at least top ten, maybe top five. It took Martin Truex Jr. 31 races to get to 4 top tens last season but after finishing 7th he's already up to 4 in the first 10 races. He's done a great job so far in already establishing himself as the top dog at Michael Waltrip Racing. Now something of a short track ace, Ryan Newman scored his 8th top ten in the last 9 short track races with his 8th place finish. Marcos Ambrose got his first top ten of the season in 9th. Other than road courses his best type of tracks are the short tracks where he's got 3 top tens in 9 races and a 15.6 average finish. Jimmie Johnson's 7th top ten of the season ties him with Biffle and Harvick for the most so far this season. It's only his 5th top ten in 17 Richmond starts and continues the trend of feast or famine for Jimmie there. Denny Hamlin failed to lead a lap for the first time in 9 races at Richmond. Clint Bowyer got his first finish in the teens this season after 6 top tens and 3 other finishes outside the top 20. After starting the season with 5 straight top tens, Matt Kenseth has finished outside the top 10 in 4 of the last 5. Brad Keselowski's 14th is his 5th top 20 finish in the last 6 races. Joey Logano finished in the top 20 for the 3rd time in 3 Richmond races. AJ Allmendinger's 17th is his career best in 7 Richmond races. Tony Stewart finished outside the top 10 for a 5th straight race which has sunk him from 5th to 15th in the standings. Mark Martin's 25th place finish breaks his streak of 4 straight top fives at Richmond. Casey Mears finished 26th in his debut with Tommy Baldwin Racing, their 4th top 30 finish of the season. 50. martin-n-rusty posted: 05.04.2010 - 1:39 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Seize, look at how Tony runs a season. He rarely does well to start the season anyway, and by summer time he turns it up. If by late July or August, he is still in that position, then I would be concerned. Smiff_99, Home Depot is a huge sponsor in NASCAR, why would NASCAR fix and help a driver sponsored by a rival corporation? IF races are being fixed, and I found out that my rival corporation's driver was getting the help, I would be raising hell over it. 51. Smiff_99 posted: 05.04.2010 - 10:17 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) I guess my initial point was that there's no denying Johnson's INSANE luck. But also, Fox isn't doing NASCAR any favors with their coverage. It's not that hard (when you have 20+ cameras) to find the debris (if there IS debris)and SHOW it, thus preventing any half-cocked conspiracy theories. And I'd like to make it clear that I in NO way TRULY believe that NASCAR tries to help the 48. That being said, it also wouldn't be totally out of the realm of possibility. Sure, it wouldn't be a good business move, but NASCAR's made some stupid, non-sensical decisions before........so I'm simply keeping my mind open to the possibility. P.S.-Keep in mind: Although 95% of everything in NASCAR is sponsor-driven or sponsor-influenced, Hendrick is NASCAR's "great success story" and Fox dedicates half of every other broadcast to crooning over Hendrick and all there accomplishments. There is clear favoritism in the broadcasts (without NASCAR caring at all), so who's to say that it isn't possible for NASCAR itself to play favorites. They've cerntainly played 'non-favorites' with Roush for a number of years. 52. DaleSrFanForever posted: 05.04.2010 - 1:26 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "I feel no pity for Jeff Gordon. I remember a time when he caught every lucky break like Jimmie does and won all the time." Exactly. Don't get me wrong, Jeff is a great driver, but after all the success he had from 1995 through 1999, then in 2004 and 2007, it's pretty hard to feel sorry for him. For all the bad luck he's had since 2008 started, he had that much good luck in the 90s. Again, taking nothing away from him, 47 wins in 5 years speaks for itself, but he caught some good breaks in quite a few of them. If you think he's got it bad, try to find footage of Mark Martin's interview at Michigan in 1998, the same week his Dad and other family members were killed in a plane crash, after getting beat by Gordon when he took advantage of a late caution. Just heartbreaking. 53. DaleSrFanForever posted: 05.04.2010 - 1:32 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "so much for the Junior resurgence. Already on the outside looking in on the chase. Kyle Petty part II. Actually I take that back, Kyle Petty got distracted by off track causes that helped humanity, Junior's off track causes are acting like a frat boy." Like Kit said, what he did driving for Felix Sabates was remarkable, especially when you consider the level of competition he faced from 1990 to 1995 when he was winning, and much worse his equipment was compared to the others. And yes, he got off track for the right reasons. The biggest thing that got him side tracked is the way he basically gave up his racing career to help Adam out. When he realized just how talented and dedicated Adam was, and realized he could be a big success, he started his own team in the late 90s (a kiss of competitive death), then rejoined a floundering Petty Enterprises to make sure Adam would be taken care of. And of course, after Adam died, his heart was understandably out of it. His heart sure as hell wasn't in a night club in Florida. You know what else is gonna be in that night club? The cops. A lot. He can't even keep his club in uneventful Charlotte, NC out of trouble. In Florida? Yikes. 54. potatosalad48 posted: 05.04.2010 - 5:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) On the flip side, I'd be the first to cheer Jeff if he won. I've been a Hendrick fan since I began watching and applaud each time their drivers win. 55.

He didn't want to be a race car driver at all, but because of his skill and last name, he took a shot at it. 56.

Chris Myers and Jeff Hammond were in the Hollywood hotel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
