    The Richmond fallout begins. NAPA tells Michael Waltrip Racing that it doesn't want to be associated with a bunch of dirty cheaters and ends its sponsorship.

    More like the fallout continues. Kudos to NAPA. Couldn't have happened to a better prick, er, person. Only surprising thing to me is NAPA leaves after this incident but stayed after the jet fuel thing and Mickey's DUI.
    I'm also thinking Ron Hornaday Jr. got a chuckle out of the news.

    So the Marty Reid thing? I have to think it had more to do with ESPN getting out of the sport than the flub right? It isn't like he had the wrong car. There have been worse boo-boos that weren't as quickly corrected on that network (ahem - Craig James, Craig James).

    Search "Marty Reid Fail" on YouTube. This was not an isolated incident. He was in the middle of a contract in the middle of a season. It's not like they said 'you're done at the end of the year.'

    When I saw Greg Biffle accost Jimmie Johnson during Johnson's post-race interview at Martinsville I was thinking what would have happened if he had tried that stunt on Tony Stewart or Ryan Newman.

    I just saw this and am surprise, and saddened, because I loved Marty when he had the call for NHRA. Paul Page is horrible after all these years. I'd still like to have Marty back on drag racing.

    So, in case you didn't notice, the season is over.

    Same dude won the Championship.

    I'd go start a silly season thread...but why bother?

    Yeah, pretty interesting how Johnson's sixth Cup win has not seemed to generate as much coverage in the mainstream media as it might have in the not-so-distant past. Petty, Earnhardt, now Johnson. Three greats.

    Pretty much how I feel too.
