Fox Southern Sports Show takes Waltrip to task for his understandable position on Rusty....

They were 1st talking about Michael and how he might not be with DEI
too much longer. That Michael had not been invited on the 4 wheeler
junket that Dale Jr. and Truex, Jr. attended. Then, to throw more
fuel on the fire, they said that Michael had shot before having the
true information - that Rusty had lost his brakes.

Funny how Rusty's brakes came back to him a little later. Sounds like
Rusty was out there sort of like Ryan Newman - get out of the way
everybody!

Um - Mikey's a forty-something married man. Earnhardt and Truex
are young single dudes. Is it any wonder Mikey wasn't part of
their junket?

The implication that we "forty-something married men" aren't cool, is ... Well,
it hurts!

Sorry, but there was an interview in the paper with Rusty post-race
saying he had 1/4 of an inch of brake left but the brakes weren't
there when he decided to run thru Mikey.

And sure, he didn't go back into the race because he was too chicken
to get out there with the piecemeal car that was left after he
indulged his folly. He's just happy that he finally won another race
and that has made his season.

I don't expect we will be seeing much of Rusty the rest of the year
for just that reason.



so you were saying??????????????????????????????

DEI 2 daytonas..... tsk, tsk.
