One thing's for sure - after the Talladega fiasco, Edward's got nobody to blame but himself for not winning. He didn't get "caught up" in that weck. He caused it.
IMO Edwards didn't blow it..JJ took it from him a couple weeks ago when he was 30th and edwards was pulling away from the field..JJ never stopped and came up 2nd...Edwards post race interview summed it up..when told JJ finished 2nd he replied " Your kidding right"?
Looks like the end of F1 as we know it. http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/081205072312.shtml Bernie and Max have done a bang up job!

Spyder, I watched the Shootout saturday night and the cars were all over the place. Very skittish. Did they change the package somehow? Did you see those two saves Kyle made toward the end of the race? Stewart was pretty stout in his new ride.
NASCAR, in its infinite wisdom, decided no testing at any NASCAR Sanctioned tracks this year (excludes Goodyear Tire Testing). As a result, we witnessed a number of cars which acted as if they were racing on ice. Expect more of the same Thursday afternoon (along with a bunch of crumpled sheet metal). Kyle weaved his way through that mess in quite the expert fashion. Nice to see Harvick snag that win as well. I hope Smoke has tremendous success with his organization this year. He did learn from one of the best - Coach Gibbs. Keep an eye on that 24 bunch. I think we are going to see some great things out of that group this year. - Spydertrader
Step One - complete. In case you missed it, Gordon Wins the first Duel with Kyle Busch taking the checkers in Duel Two. - Spydertrader
