Brad was just being Brad.

IIRC he drove Kenseth into the wall on a restart, I don't know the full details but I saw something about him using his car as a battering ram after the race too in the garage area.

Especially ironic considering how he went off on Jeffy at Phoenix the other year....

The guy is a picture perfect example of someone with an over inflated opinion of their own self worth who cries like a baby when he doesn't get what he thinks he is entitled to.
I am very sorry if you find my posts long and boring, I like to type and often go off on a tangent.
If this is the case, you may click here to solve the problem, or alternatively here too.

I haven't really followed NASCAR but I'm watching this race and I like it. Could someone explain me the 'new' Chase format and how it goes from here?

Danica doing well. It got to be Talladega.

thanks for the info Cheever. So from what I understand, you have the basic Chase with the drivers locked in for the final 10 races. Then there are knock-outs after every three or so races. Seems exciting.

When Ryan Newman is locked in to the title challenge but the likes of JJ, Jnr and Kahne are not, you know there's a bullshit in air.

To be fair, they haven't run good leading into this while Newman has been quite consistent.
