I had tuned the NW series off and when I read your message my heart driooed because I thought you were talking about Ruetimann. and he was even in the race. SENILITY SETTING IN. I AM OVERJOYED FOR DAVID

So, so happy for David today!
He finally got a win in NASCAR. Now the media can get off his back a little.

Looking for more success for the 6 car this year...Erik Darnell will get his chance next week at Richmond.

Awesome!!!

WTG David and the 6 team!

I'm not to sure Matt is happy with his teammate.
Thank goodness Matt is OK.


Sorry... my bad, I'll be happy for David when he gets his win in CUP.
<not in a lessor series>

I'm not sure why everyone thinks David took out Matt on purpose... that was just a racing deal, it happens.

David did absolutely nothing wrong in that situation.

Matt pulled down on David, and the 88 was bump-drafting David. There was no way David could slow down without wrecking himself because he was being pushed and had a run... so, he ran on into Matt and Matt lost it. Not sure how that can be blamed on David?

Matt had no business dropping down when that lane had such a big run and everyone was bump drafting (so they could not slow down to let him in).

IMO - Matt made the mistake in this situation, not David.

I love them both but your right IT WASN'T DAVID'S FAULT. NOW AS FAR AS CUP DRIVERS RACING IN THE NW SERIES-------------ALL WRONG--NASCAR FIX IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT

Frank seems to have a good relationship with the people at Roush and Ford, so I would not be surprised if he was the first to get to try out the FR9 in an ARCA race sometime.

They really do need to hurry along with it, though!

Yeah I made a comment on Rudd's board that I was A LITTLE (had to put that in caps since those that whined about my reply overthere missed it) for hitting Matt. Yes, Matt tried to get back in front of David but Matt didn't make the rear end of his car lift off the ground!!! So David WAS partly at fault. Hell he bumped Truex I think today. Maybe a little off on the reaction time, but anyways I'm glad he won the race yesterday.

Glad Carl was ok too after that deal today. I really hate these "races". Oh and Jeff Burton is my hero!!! The only one who deserved to get hit today was Kyle and glad Jeff Burton did what he did.

AMEN! YES... WTG Jeff. I hate the plate races also.

I only watched about 15 minutes of the race, just during commercial time while watching the Grand Am race. That was a first all season cus I stopped watching NW. I think it pathetic watching Cup Drivers/Teams kill that series. I just don't have anything good to say when a Cup driver wins races in that series. Go win them in Cup series then I'll praise ya. Not in a lessor series.

Well I agree with you for the most part, but David still needs to drive both races. I'd say next year someone else should drive the 6 NW car.

This is David's 3rd season in Cup. He shouldn't have a need to run both series at this point.
It's OK for Rookie Cup drivers to race both series. Once they have a full season of Cup under there belt they have no business.
After that it shouldn't be anything more then a handful of races (a season) in any lessor series. ~JMO

IMO it should be like it used to. The Cup drivers only running handfuls of races each season rather than running the full season and taking championship hopes away from up-and-comers just because their owners can afford to fund a car better than every NW-only team.

I totally agree RD

It definitely made the races better to watch and follow.
