I heard from a couple of guys that were at the race that Ranger ran Peter Gibbons up the track on the restarts
Everyone that was there or has heard from those that were, said Ranger got away with allot of stuff. My reply is, he has- he does- and he will.
As long as he is the chosen one then nothing will ever happen to him.
He is in the eye of the beholder-
Obey1konobee and R2D2 of NASCAR watch over him....
Andrew-oid... You have the force, trust the force....
Unless its Gibbons fist !! then your screwed and on your own !!
Tip of the week for Andrew...
Row 18- at Walmart- you will find Huggies Bathroom Tissue.
Its not just gentle on your butt, but will also absorb your tears 45% faster then the leading brand !!
I read the press release from Audrey for Andrew and it sound like a driver crying the blues.
So can the rest of us read it and judge for ourselves than Evan.

Hearsay, from my view Andrew got away clean everytime and there was no-one to run up the track.
Bitter deception for Andrew Ranger
Montreal, September 22, 2008: Good luck seems to be avoiding Andrew Ranger for the last few races of the 2008 season. On September 7th, during the A&W 300 event on Barrie, Ontario, a fellow competitor sent him into a spin in the opening laps of the race making him lose numerous positions and precious championship points. This past Saturday in Nova Scotia, while almost collecting his first win on an oval, Andrew Ranger was hit hard from behind and sent into the wall with only 3 little laps to go by Peter Gibbons. Gibbons who had caught up to Andrew following a late yellow flag, forcing Ranger to accept a frustrating 6th place.
Even though Gibbons was immediately penalized for his actions putting him back in ninth place,, the damage was already done. Everything seemed to fall into place during the entire race for Ranger, driver of the #27 Tide / Wal-Mart car. Starting 14th, he was comfortably in the lead with 5 laps to go when the incident put an end to the hope of a well deserved win. “I really don’t understand why he did that. We had the win within our grasp!”
If Andrew Ranger went through the entire range of emotions, his Jacombs Racing team mate, Peter Shepherd, driver of the #7 Ubisoft / Wal-Mart car, had a much calmer Saturday. Qualified in 20th place, his position on the starting grid did not give enormous hopes for the event. However, at the end of a flawless race, he managed to take the 10th place, a second Top-10 in only three starts in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series. “Overall, I am satisfied with my result. I was able to climb half the field and finish in 10th. I could not hope for a better result on this track given my starting position.”
There remains only one event to this exciting season. Still third in the championship, Andrew Ranger still has a good chance, despite the unfortunate events of his trip to Nova Scotia, to end the season as the 2008 vice-champion.
The final race is on Saturday, September 27th at Kawartha in Ontario!
The Victory Lap Charity Program
The Victory Lap Charity Program, affiliated to Opération Enfant Soleil in Quebec and to Children’s Miracle Network in the rest of Canada, aims to raise funds to help sick children across the country. Since the program’s inception in 2003, over $700,000 have been raised for 14 children’s hospitals in Canada.
In 2008, the Victory Lap takes an even bigger leap forward and plans to break the $1,000,000 mark in donations since 2003. To do so, the program counts on the support of Wal-Mart stores in Canada, the participation of prestigious brands and on the generous input from Andrew Ranger and Alex Tagliani as program ambassadors.
