[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

I'm not making any excuses here, but Jr. was a 10th place car at best. He somehow got to the end on fuel when Tony Eury Jr. said they would be 2 laps short. He still made it with a green, white, checkered finish and 4 caution laps in between.

But what I don't get is it is against NASCAR rules to pass the pacecar during caution laps. Dale Jr. does this several times under caution, even after being asked not to. But, he is Dale Jr. so no penalty was given. Just like in the Coca Cola 600 when they gave him a 1 lap penalty then decided to take it back. I think it's bogus but that is up to NASCAR. Another bogus thing was the fact that Kasey Kahne got a push from Mark Martin under caution and that is against the rules as well.

Dale Jr. however is still not the driver you guys make him out to be.

Ok so you just proved my point for me. Great race car drivers find a way to win even when they dont have the best car. As far as the pace car thing goes man if you reach any further with this one youre gonna fall and hurt yourself. Ive seen many instaces where the a driver is trying to save gas under caution and passes the pace car trying to do it. I remember a race that Dale Jarrett won at Daytona in 1999 when he was trying to save fuel and passed the pace car. The same thing happened then as sunday. Nascar warned DJ about it and he never passed the pace car again but he did pull even with it on the apron just like JR did sunday after NASCAR warned him not to pass it anymore. I watched the race on sunday and Ive got NASCAR hotpass on my TV and after Tony JR told Dale Jr not to pass the pace car anymore he DID NOT do it again and Ive got video evidence of it. Ive got some homework for you. Go and reasearch if NASCAR has ever penalized anyone for passing the pace car under caution. Ive been watching since the late 70s and I cant ever remember it happening. I know alot of driver have been warned for it but not penalized. Like Ive said before Im not trying to make you like Dale Jr and youre entitled to your opinion. But you and alot of others just try so hard with everything little thing you can find to tear the guy down whenever he does something good. I can handle that but what is really sad is when you dont have anything to use against him then you just make stuff up. Like ive told you before you and those like you not just on here but everywhere just make yourselves look foolish when you do that.
