    Little E may have just run the dumbest race in NASCAR history. Everytime he worked his way into the top 5-7 he went to the top of the track by himself and lost 7-15 spots. The worst part was he did the same thing over and over and over again, just unbelievable. I'm a fan of #8 and just can't believe an experienced driver made the exact same mistake about 8 times in the same race.

    Yeah I had it! I don't know if it was worth it? I can see some sort of bonus to it (commercials) I got to see that one wreck with "what his name" coming right out of the pits and tearing the field to hell and back but past that I don't know!!!

    The last time he did it, was because his teamate Truex got ditched in the draft so he tried to draft behind him. He was saying before the green that he didn't think he could make it up to the front. I don't blame him for tryin.

    Same here, I don't know how much it costs (probably $100) but I can't be off work for every race, plus when Football season starts I'll be watching football. Was cool that you could see alot of stuff as it happened instead of watching the replay after a commercial.

    When Jr. went high he gained spots.....him and Smoke were schoolin everyone for a while. What cost Jr. was his car was crap......way too lose. I was watching his NASCAR pass all day and he kept telling Tony Jr. that the car was too loose. One time when Jr. was about fifth and all of a sudden dropped to 21st he told his crew chief " Im gettin out of this chit". They need to do away with restricter plate racing....it's CRAP!

    He didn't gain one single spot any of the many times he went high, in fact he lost a bunch of spots every single time. The time he droped to 21st he had just taken 4 new tires and made an adjustment and yes his car was much too lose at that time. However many times during the day he way between 3rd and 7th went high and fell way back instead of staying in line and waiting for others to make a mistake especially early to mid way through the race. JR looked dazed and confused for the first time I can remember.

    Sorry, I watched the whole race, and I never saw a time when Jr. was "schooling" anyone. I know Busch and Smoke were schooling the field for a while, but never saw Jr. sniff the lead. His car was junk. Hey, Gordon went from 42nd to 8th, and his car was crap after about 20 laps on new tires. Jr. ran this high style (up against the wall) a lot late last year, and it works at some tracks like the cookie cutter 1 1/2 mile tracks, but forget it at Daytona. Every time I saw him go high, he dropped like a rock. I think he hit the nail on the head when he said they need to go back to their old setups. It drives me crazy to see Martin Truex, Jr. running around in the top 5-10 while Jr.'s sliding all over the track. Same thing with Jimmy Johnson, Gordon, and Kyle Busch. Teammates, but the cars are completely different. Notice how Burton and Harvick were always near each other? Until they wrecked, so were Newman and Kurt Busch.
