I'll be honest with you folks, I never been to Edmonton or even Canada. But I'll tell you this the picture to the left is definitely not of the sky line of Edmonton, Alberta. Unless Edmonton has copied or stolen the skyline of Long Becah, California.
It makes you wonder if Indycar.com has this girl working for them:
Kyle Busch and Juan Montoya had meeting of the fenders towards the end of Sunday's race in New Hampshire. Before the final caution came out the two were racing each other hard and after they both took the caution Busch rubbed into Montoya's car, Montoya didn't appreciate that and turned Busch unfortunately it didn't work out well for Montoya, as he was tagged by Busch's spinning car and spun out also. NASCAR didn't really care for Montoya's actions and penalized him two laps dropping him from 25th to 32nd in the final results.
"He hit me under caution, he hit me under green and I retaliated," Montoya said. "Did I go too far in retaliating? Yeah. I think they are giving me a penalty and it's OK for what I did. The only thing I told them was that they are always saying be very careful not to do anything under caution. The only reason I did that was that I was just defending myself."
Busch claims that he did nothing to upset Montoya.
"I got a run on him earlier and I got on the outside and he kind of kept coming up a little bit," said Busch. "I didn't turn down into him and just barely touched his quarter-panel. Then I got by him in three and four and he run me up the racetrack in the left rear. Then we came to that caution flag and he thought he beat me to the caution flag and I was just trying to get around the 40 (Dario Franchitti) car, who was in front of us there and touched him on the door and he just turned left and spun me down the front straightaway. I don't know what his beef is, but obviously NASCAR should probably fix it."
Well here is the video of the incident. You be the judge:
Sunday also featured another incident between Kasey Kahne and Aric Amirola as the two took turns punting each other.
Two-time Daytona 500 champ (Could have been three if it wasn't for that lousy fender) Sterling Marlin is trouble with the state of Tennessee for dumping fill dirt into a stream. Marlin now faces over $8,600 in fines. This also isn't the first time that Marlin has had this problem, Marlin was fined $2,500 for the same offense back in May of 2006.
But not to worry folks, I'm sure Sterling can pay off these fines with his current ride in NASCAR. Oh wait.
Ah, good times on NASCAR Raceday as Jimmy Spencer screws up Patrick Carpentier's last name pronouncing it "Carpet Eater". The boys on "This Week in NASCAR" had a field day with that.
As we know Pocono Speedway has a tendency of having wildlife getting on the track, we've heard tales of dears and rabbits getting onto the track, but how about a chicken like in the June race of 1991:
Of course the most famous incident of a something running across the track at Pocono was Chad Kohl who ran in front of the leader of the race Kyle Petty in the June race of 1993:
Yesterday, Lewis Hamilton's dad Anthony thought it would be a nice day to take his wife and a loaned $650,00 Porsche Carrera GT out for a spin. Well things didn't go to well. Well you know fast cars due to people it makes want to go, well you know, fast. Well unforently Mr. Hamilton couldn't handle fast and spun out his car and crashing it into a children's playground. The British tabloid the Sun picks it up from here.
"It spun through 180 degrees and hurtled backwards through a wooden fence and a thick hawthorn hedge before coming to rest in a children's playground. One witness claimed Anthony...lost it as he showed off to onlookers by revving the engine of the Carrera GT - which can do 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds."
Thankfully, there were no children in the playground and none was hurt, except the Porsche which suffered bodywork and undercarriage damage, which will cost thousands in repairs. As for Anthony Hamilton, well he is very sorry for the accident: �This is my first crash in almost 30 years and it had to happen in someone else�s car. Thankfully the only thing hurt was the car and a bush fence, for which I am extremely sorry.�
