Not at all Shawn, I thought Ray got into it with you, but it didn't matter. It was a racing deal.
My issue was with the officials for not throwing the yellow. I thought it should have been thrown and I was expecting it.
I might just go enjoy the summer somewhere else.
I know most of you guys up at the front weren't involved in this one but on lap one Ray Shepherd got into it with someone and got into the wall by Turn 2. Luc Gignac and I held up so we wouldn't crash into Ray, and all 3 of us ended up getting going, no caution. All 3 of us were stopped dead on the track. No caution.
Anyways I was lapped by the second or third lap as the leaders were on us by the time we got going. I don't care about being lapped because I would have got lapped sooner or later. But the leaders were coming around and 3 cars are stopped and no yellow was thrown.
I got home last night and the only feeling I was experiencing was "tired". It wasn't like this last year. I am very seriously thinking about taking the rest of the year off. I don't really care to spend all of this money and time anymore. I know no one really cares as I am not a front runner or run every night or have the newest "New Gen" car. I might change my mind tomorrow, who knows, but this is how I have felt every night this year.
you know what tex? i think we all go home like that this year. keep pluggin away, by not racing ,we are only hurting ourselves.
Hey Jim just curious are you going to race at sunset this week coming since Thunders at Barrie are not running?
Hey Jim if anything would make us stay it would be the great racing with you and you great sense of humour! I believe in two weeks time there may be a letter going around the pits addressed to NASCAR, i am sure they would like to hear about how the owners have people in the stands that have enough "pull" to have NASCAR drivers yanked from the show for voicing their thoughts on a web site. If and when this letter comes by your pit stall i urge everyone that is not happy to sign it. At the end of the day NASCAR will have its say! BSW may not care about having a blackeye but you can bet your ass NASCAR will not like the negative press this seems to be causing
Marty no worries the letter will be there, and with enough driver/owner/sponsor signatures maybe NASCAR will address the officiating at the track. They don't want their name associated in this way either, if anyone knows who it should be addressed to that would help. Is there a rep.?
That'll be fun to watch...
