Feed that boy man, James wasn't pushing as hard as he could and Ryan crashed trying to stay with him, if ya'll would have been feeding #2 better his front end wouldn't have washed out because there was no weight on it. Wrap some bacon around that deer meat and stuff some cheese in there or something. He will have to fight JS sometime this year and it won't be as easy as Jlaw, holler if you need more advice.
Everyone sees what they want to see in a particular race. I saw two guys charging as hard as they could.

Uncle of 2, you're starting to sound like Tony Alessi bragging about your kids. Just sit back and let the racing unfold.

So far this year, RV2 wins only when Stewart gets a bad start.

Here is another thought. RV had 10 laps to cut down 5 sec gap. If he was so much faster than Stewart, why didn`t he do it?

James just happens to be the faster and smarter horse in the race. No disrespect to RV who just pushed too hard and crashed. I remember when James would do the same thing.

Fuck that, Uncle of 2 is a good guy. If a family member of mine was at the top level of any sport i would be uncle of 2 times 100.

Trust me.uncle has a different perspective than 99% of the guys posting on here. The dude is rooting for family. Hell, I root for RV's Grandpa. That's one cool dude. Spent a hr talking to that cat 3 yrs ago. I enjoyed that alot.

Uncle, this post does not mean I have changed my thoughts or went soft on you!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is it with you guys who say Poto was pushing so hard he crashed trying to pass James? You guys sure haven't been paying attention to anyone other than James apparently! Ryan has always been an aggressive rider, but has never pushed and made stupid passes. He washed the front end in the EXACT same place as James did in the heat race! Poto was CLEARLY faster than James last night and is as confident as any rider out there, maybe even more confident than James right now.

To me Poto seemed very patient when he caught James. He sat right there and just matched James' every move. Some tracks will suit one more than the other, and it is on those nights the championship will be won. I really believe as the season wears on, if Poto keeps doing what he is doing, he will pressure James into some serious mistakes, or will simply be faster than James ,and James will ride over his head to close the gap. We have all seen what happens to James when he does that. RC beat him for two titles when James melted down. I believe Poto knows this too and knows if he can be on the box every round, he'll be the champ!

Again . Why didn`t RV cut down those 5 sec in 10 laps that was remaining. For a CLEARLY faster rider that should have been doable. Is he out of shape?Whistling Evil

You guys are idiots. James crashed in the heat race and knew how slippery the turns were. He raced the race that he needed to, in order to get the job done tonight.

No hate or disrespect to James, but it was obvious that RV can match James fabled "raw speed".

Gonna be some good racing.

RV is 0-2 vs James in straight up battles so far this yr.

RV knows the score. Stewart needs to beat him a few more times and the rest will be history.

Its only going to get easier for Stewart. RV needs to beat Stewart next week. Otherwise RV will be the 2011 and beyond version of Reed.

You do understand that being on the box every round will win this championship, right? Poto knew he would really have to ride out of his comfort zone to catch James from tha far back, he caught him from about 1-1.5 seconds behind, not 6. Why risk wadding it up again and losing a second place finish and the 22 points that come along with it?

I'm pretty sure you already knew all of this, but are just trying to be a spoon and stir the shit!

Sooner or later you have to be able to win the battle. Ask Reed. The dude had to beat Stewart once in the last 7 rounds to take control of the series 2 yrs ago. he couldn't. Why? Because Stewart owns him. Reed knew it and so did Stewart.


RV needs to beat Stewart. Plain and simple. Being on the box is not going to be good enough.

Uh, RV is leading the points.

RV is the underdog here, with nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Not even close. RV will let it hang out, Chad won't. RV has a much better chance of being the 2011 and beyond version of Carmicheal than Reed.

exactly- you don't hire aldon for the first ten laps you hire him for the last ten- I suspect he was either going to wait for a mistake or make a sprint when there wouldn't be enough time for James to see where Ryan was making time on him and try to get him back...Ive seen James do the same thing to Reed with two to go-

As for not trying to catch him after the fall..RV is a smart champion- hit your marks safely and take whatever it gives you...I didn't see James close a 5 sec gap on Dungey with ten to go so whats your point again?(kongl)

look at it like you want. But straight up he is 0-2. this yr. RV has yet to pass Stewart in his career.

He poses a zero threat to Stewart until he puts a pass on him and makes it stick. He better do it real soon. Otherwise Stewart will treat him like every other rider on the track.

That race was great. To bad it was a exhibition race. maybe the worse thing that ever happened to RV because everyone thought he was the new RC. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Same thing happened to BT101. The kid had a great weekend at a exhibition race vs RC and people wanted to build a legend off of a race that did not matter.

The bears are leading 7-0. hate those guys
