>>BTW, Jeff Gordon has replaced (in my mind) Rusty as the "Cry Baby of NASCAR" for what happened at NH. I could help but think that if it had been Big E (or Little) what would've happened would've been that he would've gotten back to him by catching him and returning the favor.

>oh man sounds like I missed something big? What happened that made Gordon whine?

I wrote a summary, but something hiccuped and it went to binary never-never land. Anyway, you can read about it at:

I'm really happy for Richard Childress and the 31 crew. It was one of the best of the season.

BTW, don't forget about the awards show on TNT on Friday.
