Richmond: The "Underdogs"

[Long#00]

How is Hermie a lock?    Did I miss something in practice?

Garvey and Sauter are locks.  Fuller is probable.  Doesn't look good for us.  My going home predictions are Carl or Hermie, Shepherd, Shelmerdine.

clicked the wrong qoute...sorry blueflame....but mattswad i was right.

No need for the smugness though - Hermie only just made it by the skin of his teeth.... he wasn't a "lock" by any means. But he should have been if this team was getting it together - but they arent. The car was horribly slow out there tonight and he was 9 laps down on pace alone (despite a lot of yellows) before the engine went. At the moment the #66 is fairly slow and unreliable. It sucks to see as I really hoped Hermie was going to finally get a good shot this season.

Did anyone see the "Outside The Lines" episode that shadowed Morgan??? I couldn't bring myself to watch it, because I assumed they would show a shameless S+P'er as a "plucky underdog fighting all odds."  I used to have sympathy for Morgan, but as the last few years went by, I lost all pity and respect for a once respectable driver.  If anyone did see it, could you let me know how they portrayed him?

Although I dislike the parking habit of Morgan, I have to say parking it may have been a good idea.  He was very slow and would have been in the way horribly all night long.  Its probably better he parked it as to make sure everyone around him that is up to speed stays safe and not have to dodge a puttering green car.

What a douschebag!!!!  >:(I'm so F***ing sick of seeing these scums make cash for this shamefull garbage!!!  MORGAN----GO THE F*** HOME!!!!  If there was a reason for retiring, I would be down for it.  (RETIRE----Thats a DAMN good word  ) But this was another obvious S&P by these two F***ers.  As soon as Morgan went a lap down he puked it.  Don't know about Garvey.  I had SO high hopes for him.  But he *appearantly* has joined the skank ranks of F***sticks like Morgan. 

And for you children out there, F*** stands for "friend" or some sh*t like that.

Too bad for Sauter.  Even though his Phark It Construction team were the queens of S&Ping last year, and he was the Master Of Crashers, I still like them both when they make legit efforts.  I think they could have easily made another top 10 this weekend.

Wow, one hell of a rant 

Makes sense though.

mattswad.... we must be realated...can u tell me how ya really feel...lol..does any one here want to know  know how i feel about nextel?..

Ahhh, the first Morgan rant thread on the new board, I am excited! lol.  That Outside The Lines special is a re-run.  They showed it last year, and yes, they glorify what Morgan is "trying to do".  It's a great thing for Morgan, generates attention for him and his "cause".  I think Carls story would be alot more riveting and alot more believable, not to mention alot easier to swallow considering he actually tries.  I will once again state that I used to root for Morgan back in the 80's, he was a helluva driver back then. What he does now is sickening, it's not racing, and I refuse to cheer for a man that ruins the reputation of all other underdogs. MOST of the underdogs out there are actually trying, and want to actually finish a race, even if they finish a couple laps down. I wouldn't root for him to race to the grocery store, because he'd develop a "vibration" and pull over before he got to the end of the street. I do, however, miss the "What lap will Morgan park it this week?" thread we had last year, that was some funny shizzle...lmfao.

Maybe we can start that thread back up the next time he makes a race. lol.
