track wide bob&weave.
Menard in the 15, I think. He was the first guy past as Sadler &
Stewart were spinning across the track (and just barely brushed
the inside wall sneaking thru).

Ah, yeah, he was good too. I liked Mark better because, and maybe I'm
misremembereing, but he had to go by Sadler and Stewart up top, and
Dale E on the bottom.

I think they probably favored Menard for it because he was one of
the first there, and didn't really have room to stop, so the
evasive maneuver was a necessity. Martin was a ways further back,
and (unlike some others who came in late) slowed way down before
selecting his course thru the wreckage.

MM number 8.

Crap again, 8, of course.

By the way, is there a website that shows what the car skins were for each race? Both Menard and Martin had different skins during the race, didn't they? For some reason I'm blanking on so much.

Jayski's Team Schemes page usually covers that pretty well. Looks like
Martin was running the same old #8 Army scheme. Menard had his usual
nauseating greenish-yellow Menard car, but with a new primary on the
hood. Pittsburg something-or-other.

Martin will be running the Steak-Umm scheme at Pocono. Maybe that's
what you're thinking of.

Hamlin is not a good liar. IMO, Hamlin either made a bad gamble or he
simply did not see what was ahead of him. He assumed that the wreck
would have slid down the track and he came in fast hoping to speed by it
on the outside. That never happened as the wreck remained on the high
side of the track.

Hamlin should have slowed sooner, I don't think he was being completely
honest in claiming he braked immediately. You could see his brakes lock
up late.

However, I don't think it would have mattered much. The cars behind
Denny were still going to be involved in the wreck. There simply wasn't
enough room to avoid it.

Denny needs. to hone up on his bullshitting akills, like some of the
other drivers exhibit.

Hamlin was hardly the biggest culprit of that wreck though, as the
haters claim.

Right....watching the 43 in the mirror....the 43 managed to come to a stop
without plowing into anyone very hard so he definately wasn't a problem for
the 11.

I agree. The guys right behind Denny didn't let up much either.

As a matter of fact, had Hamlin not pushed the wreckage so drastically when

he dive bombed in there, the 43 probably would have gotten stopped without
hitting a thing. Hamlin was a que ball on the break....he sent cars flying
everywhere that they wouldn't have gone already.

Good thing you told me that was sarcasm. It would have gone right
past me ;-) Gee, this is fun!
