Hap is just showing his bi-polar disorder, while J Burt is trying to stay employed... by any means necessary. <br /><br />With Kyle, once the race is over, it's over.

Kyle's last two finishes there are 2nd and 3rd, but he still only has 4 top-10s in 13 starts. Other than Hamlin's last two Pocono wins, Toyota hasn't shown much domination at Pocono.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-77279627620775647972011-06-14T13:26:08.653-07:002011-06-14T13:26:08.653-07:00Gene, I wonder how much of that intimadation thing...Gene, I wonder how much of that intimadation thing is Harvick's idea or if RC is laying out the strategy against Kyle. It seemed good old Jeff Burton was fooling around with Kyle a little too. Boyer and Menard pretty much stayed clear of it all... I do believe they're trying to shake Kyle's tree a little though but it hasn't seemed to effect him yet. It just runs off of him...<br /><br />Thanks Gene!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-90176797825064454212011-06-14T12:12:35.484-07:002011-06-14T12:12:35.484-07:00And the Toyotas in general do tend to run better a...And the Toyotas in general do tend to run better at Pocono--you see more of them in the top 5 and 10 than at other tracks.jon_464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-67880647981309779922011-06-14T12:11:01.118-07:002011-06-14T12:11:01.118-07:00Gene, I think it's the other way around. Kevin...Gene, I think it's the other way around. Kevin is living rent-free in Kyle's dome. Kevin just wanted to make his presence felt to Kyle. While Kyle typically runs well at Pocono, Kevin has had 3 straight top-5 finishes there after not even having a top 10 since his rookie season.jon_464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-74991767997456051452011-06-14T10:55:59.200-07:002011-06-14T10:55:59.200-07:00Kristen... okay, okay, Jr surprised me on Sunday b...Kristen... okay, okay, Jr surprised me on Sunday by staying top-10 all day, without a wave around or lucky dog. Good for him! I had him and Kenseth as my dark horse picks for Pocono. He still has to lead some laps during the races to be a legit threat to win. Not every driver (Harvick) can lead 9 laps and win 3 races...LOL<br /><br />I wonder who had the guts to tell Tony that NASCAR didn't make him shift?Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-68126149756678982652011-06-14T08:29:13.105-07:002011-06-14T08:29:13.105-07:00Kurt on a tear - pole in a back up car and running...Kurt on a tear - pole in a back up car and running with the leaders all day. Guess Tom German did suck! LOL<br /><br />So you still think Jr isn't deserving of some credit Gene? Come now! Plus he sauntered into his media time in yet another hoel in the wall bar tshirt...and explained how to get one every month in the mail! No one else does that....<br /><br />If the beginning of the race with 18/29 games are any indication of whats to come when they are off probation this week, sign me up. At least it was entertaining. I also think Kyle wasnt completely innocent - he may have been pushed down first but I think he drove Happy up those corners too. Either way it was vun to watch.<br /><br />Finally, I am pretty sick of hearing about Smoke heating up in the summer. So far he and the rest of SHR look to be in some hot water.klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.com
