What's the deal with Tony Eury Jr.? I think he really blew it today! It is his fault that Dale Jr. finished 22nd! Certainly not Dale's fault! Whar say you? Bagman.

Lap 21 -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. continues to lead by 1.436 seconds on Jimmie Johnson.

Lap 29 -- Leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on pit road and one of the last cars to pit according to plan. Four tires and fuel with minor adjustments. Jeff Gordon is in for his pit stop after the miscommunication. The crew makes an air-pressure adjustment and pulls spring rubbers from the car. The crew hands him a radio into the car.

Lap 32 -- After his pit stop, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is running in sixth.

Nothing! ALL I wrote was "Wow",....I was too busy watching the races, didn't want to tear myself away.
HOWEVER, this has happened to me previously. What I suspect it is, every post I make, someone reports it, and the moderator has to look at it. Either that, or the prgram has an alert feature, whereby the moderator is "alerted" every time certain red-flagged members do anything. Surely, the moderators are not on here every minute of the day and night.
Or, if there's another explanation, your guess is as good as mine.

Now that is a fact, as I am on that list. I have posted a thread and watched it get deleted within 30 seconds of the time I hit the post message button. LOL. I would imagine there are more on that red flag list than care to admit it.

All that fuss about nothing..........

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
