Yeah, I caught that. I'm glad most of the garage is leaning more towards it being Jr's fault. I'm still mad this morning! Over on the site I trade cards on everyone is talking about it. Most people are sayin it was Jr's fault but then you've got the Jr fans...and then people who dont even post in the racing forums coming in (and have no idea what they're talkin about) and blaming it all on Brain.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse but....
I heard Kyle Busch say this and at the time I didn't really think about it too much. But after reading an article on Nascar.com it makes perfect sense. I thought that the way he phrased this was very clever and very back handed.
"What happened that took you out of the race? "I'm not sure. Some guys having some bad days and not doing their best out there. Made their bad day our bad day and we had a problem. It's just a shame..."."
And this from the nascar.com article:
"The trouble for Earnhardt and his No. 88 Chevrolet team started long before he and Brian Vickers triggered a controversial wreck that took out several contending cars. They blamed each other, but consensus in the garage area leaned heavily toward it being mostly Earnhardt's fault."
Oh, and I don't know if you guys caught this, but here's Dale explanation for his bad pit stops:
"If you look down this pit road, my sign's pink," Earnhardt said. "And every other sign is pink -- so it's hard to see when you're going down there [because] they're all about the same color."
Right. Pit sign color. Way to man up and take responsibility Dale. Everyone else with those pink signs seemed to do just fine today...
Apparently later in the race Dale also ticked of Jeff Burton.
