Grosjean just got shoved into the wall. Day is done. And they are going to Red Flag the race with 3 laps to go.

I like Newgarden, but am getting tired of the I had the line BS. Yes you had the line because you overdrove the corner, and than proceeded to drive out of the corner all the way to the wall. Causing Grossjean no where to go except wreck himself.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea. Some of these guys become so entrenched in "their line" that they don't have room in their heads for anything else.

What did Jimmie Johnson do to get Powers panties in a bunch?

 

[Retroram52]

Jimmie was braking too long and too heavily in some of the more treacherous curves on a very narrow race circuit causing traffic to back-up and then collisions. Powers got his panties in a bunch and then he was one of the dolts that rear-ended, I believe it was Kirkwood he hit the first time. That's when he blew a gasket and starting demanding they penalize Jimmie or get him off the course. Entitled, arrogant little bitch!
