LOL heard he only had a part-time ride. I suspect that just changed.

Maybe, maybe not. He's still a 20-year old kid that's learning. It wouldn't utterly shock me if they stick with their original 17-race plan.

I'm just the opposite, as I think it would shock me if they only ran 17 races this year now.

I agree, Wood Bros. haven't been prominent in years, and this has marketing $$$$ written all over it.

I heard the kid say he signed that thing declaring his interest in the other series. So I guess if they are HARD CORE about that new rule he won't be able to go after the Cup this year.

Yeah based on reports, it seems like he's keeping his word to stay on the current track for 2011.

The way I heard it ... he's allowed to switch, and he'll still get credit for the win, but all his points are forfeit.

That is correct.

[CLW]

That is correct.

Lol so take away 40 something points and give a big 0. Well that all but ended a Cinderella story of the kid making the chase. IF I were him I'd just stick with Nation wide (he finished pretty well in that race as well).

[psusnoop]

I agree, I wish they have given him the chance especially since it is a new rule and all.

great finish at talledega today. cant say that i'm happy about it being a tony stewart fan, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

tony stewart was leading just a half a lap from the finish, when he dropped down to get a push from michael waltrip (who was getting a strong push to the lead), when they got into each other, wiping out over 20 other cars.

great finish at talledega today.

I'm not sure "great" is the word Chaotic, destruction derby, anti-climactic, and totally predictable all come to mind.

It was a good race though. And with a crash of that size, I'm happy that no one seemed to come out of it worse for wear.

Glad no one was hurt, crazy end

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will miss the next two races because of concussion issues.

It was going to be a long road for the title anyways after his slow start in the chase.
