uhhh... a point and a thumbs-up? Let's see if we can spin that into more anti-Stewart love, lol.Any guesses as to the meaning of the finish line hand gesture in Texas?

Guess I need to watch it again, but the last corner move by Reed looked like a take-out attempt that missed. Chew on that for a while :p
Could be :)Well i think that you are joking about the "takeout move,
Maybe Chad has come to grips with the fact that he just can't beat the guy? Not trying to be an arse, I'm serious. Chad was good on the podium, seemed like it wasn't killing him to get the 2nd. I mean seriously, how many would kill to be considered the 2nd fastest SX racer on the planet? Yeah, that's "settling" I suppose, but at some point, reality takes over and maybe it's best to learn to deal with it?handshake is the most respect that I have seen out of those two, toward each other

Did you guys get any pics from the race?
I don't know about accepting 2nd, I looked back to the time card, .885 seconds and the end. Then the race report show (I think that's what it's called) showed a little more of the Stewart interview where he stated that Reed was pulling a triple/triple section that he wasn't, and J-bone said that if he didn't then Chad could get him. Also, lap 20 for Reed was faster than any lap from Stewart.Okiewan said:Maybe Chad has come to grips with the fact that he just can't beat the guy? Not trying to be an arse, I'm serious.

Since you mentioned the last turn, I think it was an attempt at a block pass (with willingness to make contact if necessary ) that went too wide. I don't doubt that it was intended to slow Stewart. You must admit that it is the first time this year that he has been close enough to even try something like that.
All in all, it was a good race, and I wasn't trying to be anti-Stewart this time (but his pass on Short looked a little iffy). Maybe in two weeks.

nay, Dave could use braces. Bubba already had his toofers straightened.sixds said:does bubba kinda look like dave chappelle to any of you guys?
It shows that he still has a little fight left. He made up 2 1/2 seconds within 5 laps, and it was the fastest lap of the race, not just the fastest last lap. He didn't win, but he was right there at the last turn. If he can keep it up, the chance of late races mistakes by Stewart goes up considerably.rodH said:So he had the fastest lap, what does that do?
And if it was a nice game of hand grenade toss, all of that would matter :laugh:FruDaddy said:It shows that he still has a little fight left.

2.5 secs in 5 laps is pretty impressive, but I think JBS coming from second to last to first, through traffic, within 10 laps pretty much trumps 2.5 secs in 5 laps any day of the week. Where did you buy those rose colored Reed glasses that you watch these races through? I may have to pick up a pair to see if it makes these races any more interesting. :nener:FruDaddy said:It shows that he still has a little fight left.
