It's fun to watch actually. Shame about the Top 50 rule. I remember watching guys like Frank Kimmel, Boris Said, and Dan Pardus try to get in. And those No Bull 25 qualifying races? Sweet.

that was super cool last year when brian wrecked mike bliss out.

uber cool.

Yeah, that was so cool for Brian to do.  It was also great how he managed to ignite a fued within the Hendrick Motorsports stable.  I don't like Hendrick, or any of their drivers, but what Brian did was pathetic.  Most drivers will do whatever it takes to find a clean way to beat a guy, and Brian probably could have done the same.  Instead he punted Mike Bliss...it was uncalled for.

you win the race, then race in another race where you can win a million dollars... or you go home.

which would you choose?

If I was a 21 year old who had proven very little to earn the respect of other drivers, I'd choose to finish second.  People need to think of the long term more often.  I'd venture to say Vickers is one of the lesser respected drivers on the circuit, and rightfully so.  If he'd taken a second there he would have earned more respect and he'd probably be in better shape now than he is.

look boris said in the 34 front row motorsports car. Good chance for team to get equipment evaluate by a veteran racer
Yeah, it was deal Bob worked out. With Blount not being eligible it was pretty smart to put somebody in the car that didnt have a ride.

Hey Mike Bliss will always be ok in my book.  There were no hotels in Indy one Brickyard and he invited me to come sleep on his couch.

Excellent guy.

Pffft, "All Star" night - chose it as a perfect time to go and visit my parents instead. I'll tape the Open and watch the first few laps to see what cars the underdogs are in but apart from that, not bothered.

Personally I like clean, hard racing. Brian took the coward way out, IMO.

I agree with Harry here, not cool!  I was pulling for Bliss.  He had it.  Brian wrecked him.

I kind of feel for Vickers. The boy has no personality that I've noticed plus he just vanishes into mid-back of the field obscurity during most races - he had to do something to get noticed so felt he had to run Bliss off the track. Unfortunately there's a difference between being noticed and being notorious.

I don't agree with what Brian did, but remember when Kyle Petty wrecked Davey Allison.  That was one hard hit and two destroyed cars.  Brian just nudged him out of the way compared to Kyle.  Also, I think Kyle wrecked Earnhardt like two laps before that.  Nothing against Kyle I like him, all I am saying is this is the All Star race and it will happen again.

Boris has his own team for the r/c tracks and a few other races.
