Hillbilly Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta Yeah JJ did race clean and didn't whine about the 2nd place finish. He's my favorite driver, he couldnt replace any other word for Blocking. But he ran a good race and got a lot of points for leading a lot of laps. He should be proud of his performance. Tho I wish it was 2nd win in the row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta I missed the post race interview with JJ so I didn't hear his creative ways to describe blocking. Edwards did a heck of a job. JJ needs to get booted in the rear end and spun out for blocking like that though. I'd like to see a veteran like Rusty or Jarret teach the boy a thing or two since ole Dale ain't around to do it any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta He didn't even block him at all, Edwards had too fast of a car. He doesn't need to be booted in the back. JJ ran a close race and a clean one at that. So why he needs to be wrecked I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta [ QUOTE ] He didn't even block him at all, [/ QUOTE ] Pinching someone up the track to try and break their momentum, or force them up in the marbles is the same as blocking. There is no doubt that JJ moved his line up, trying to squeeze the #99 up to the wall. He admitted it in the post race, when he said he doesn't know how the #99 passed him on the outside, because he didn't think he gave him enough room.

VermontHunter Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta [ QUOTE ] I'm just tryin' to rub it into VT a bit. He thought I was nuts. [/ QUOTE ] YEP....I did didn't I.... ,,,,,,You go ahead and rub it in Chrud you called it all the way without hesitation,,,Im a big boy I can take it.. But still can't help to wonder what the out come would have been if so many great cars wouldn't have been taken out of the equation on the first lap, My man Jeff didn't have a prayer atleast he neve gave up and ran what race he could to make up some points... Congrats to Carl Edwards and also to Chrud for a great prediction weekend......BRISTOL baby BRISTOL short track time now we'll see who the men are...

MUDRUNNER Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta It was a good race with an awesome finish.I love to see two cars coming to the line and leaning on each other for that checkered flag.I don't think JJ did anything wrong.I've seen about every driver throw a block once in a while,especially on the last lap for the win.

spyderpancake Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta Sure he was blocking. But that's what you do on the last lap of a race. What kind of racer is gonna move over and let somebody past on the last lap because he has a better car? It was funny to watch Jimmie find other words for blocking though. I think NASCAR has everybody spooked with the penalties lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dg Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Edwards Wins Atlanta It was refreshing to watch someone new win and in a good way. I'm about tired of the corporate puppets we have today driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
