What happened to Westbrook ? I read that he was back for this season or has his AM GT drive stopped him driving in the PMSC ??

I can’t see Button getting anywhere near Lewis.

I was wondering whether RML would upgrage to the Cruze or not.
Forget Plato, hire Giovanardi and Jackson and they will destroy everyone.

I’m looking forward to the season…hopefully Westbrook,the rest of the Brits and Matt Halliday will have a good year. I wish Speed Channel here in the USA would show the Supercup like Eurosport do in Europe & the UK….I will have to wait until January 2011 to see the 2010 series !!! Motorsport coverage is one of the BIG things I miss from living back home in England

Stirling.

This sounds a really traumatic event for you.
I know you have seen and been through worse before so I wish you all the best for you recovery. I’m sure you have the strength and resolve to make light work of it.

Good luck and keep the rubber side down!

Comment on After Atlanta NASCAR Needs To Park A ‘Sacred Cow’ by James Broomhead

I agree, there wouldn’t be any real discussion if Brad has simply spun though the grass or even hit the wall ‘normally’. There would have five minutes of discussion during the following caution and that would be it.

When Brad spun Carl last year (Aaron’s 499 at Talladega) it was for the win on the final corner or the final lap. It was also unintentional, or at least the intention was less blatant.

Like Sunday’s crash it’s only lived long in the memory and highlight reel because the car took off. That was the only thing truly ’similar’ about the two incidents.

I agree that Carl Edwards should be punished for the incident, it could have been much more serious than that. The fact that the parts of the car that should prevent it from flying didn’t work as they were expected is a factor.

I don’t know what happened when Brad did a similar thing to Carl, was there a punishment given then? If so, the same should be applied now.

Maybe I would think differently about it if the car had only spun out rather than flew through the air…
