First I have to say I love this web site. Great stories and interveiws, and feedback.
If they can’t test everything about these cars durring practice, there will be more caution laps then green flag laps.
Leave them boys alone!

I thought they made the bumpers the same height on the COT’s just for stuff like this so the back tires dont come off the ground during bump drafting. If they cant even touch then what was the point? These cars arent the best aerodynamically so they are going to need a push to pass. I guess I just dont understand Nascar rules anymore.

This Car HAS Not been Tested in the Draft, this was a Practice Session. If the drivers didnt test drafting then, testing it in the Race would be too late NASCAR. unless they want huge wrecks because of NOT testing during practice all aspects of this Car running in PACKS.

Oh, I thought that was the whole idea NASCAR. Running in a PACK at 195mph……..

Here we go Again, Dont Race, Dont Touch, he is not on side. he touched me, he’s looking at me. . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NASCAR has turned this super sport into a sport for the mice, not Men of Racing History.

At first, I thought Denny was okay, but over the past few months he has proven to me that his ego is going to overshadow his success. I really don’t care for him too much now.

I hope the 48 spanks them boys and gets that much closer to a second (consecutive) championship.

NASCAR has always had their favorites. But if you speak out negatively
about NASCAR as a driver, your going to be punished. If Hamlin and Stewart were yes men like Gordon, Johnson and Jr. it all would have been ignored. There were other people bump drafting out there and
nothing was said to them. Why dosen’t NASCAR let these drivers race like they use to. AJ Foyt once said restricter plate races were like driving TAXI CABS, not race cars

Nascar warned the drivers that if they bump drafted they would be parked. Denny broke that rule, and he needs to be knocked down a notch or two.

I agree with KK. Park him for the race. He and Kyle Busch are 2 peas out of the same pod. Put all the blame on someone else.

I don’t care for Denny either and am tired of him putting the blame on everyone but himself and I wouldn’t care if they parked him for the race too, LOL

But I also don’t understand why they couldn’t bump draft in practice, sounds nuts to me, don’t they practice to see what to expect from their cars and the others during the race? confusing, oh well it’s Nascar!

Wait, what?
Denny Hamlin wants it bad, what can you say? Don’t you think these guys are also kinda peeved about how lame the COT is on such a track? I think that his attitude is similar to that of Kyle Busch…(except Denny gets wayyyy cooler TV commercials) But oh well, NASCAR has to do what they feel they gotta do!
GO JIMMIE JOHNSON!!!

It’s all Kyle Petty and Robby’s fault.

And they wonder why they’re talking about not selling out the race on Sunday? Jeez, I can’t figure it out for the life of me! What a bunch of morons.

I think as of lately, Denny’s ego is getting rather large. I used to like him, but with the attitude lately, I am starting to not! I understand it’s practice, shouldn’t they practice bump drafting also!!

Sounds like some of Tony’s attitude is rubbing off on Denny LOL
