Teflon Juan

Montoya gesture could result in Busch Series penalty:
"AVONDALE, Ariz. - NASCAR will look into whether Juan Pablo Montoya violated any of its rules by using an obscene gesture that was telecast by a Speed in-car camera during the final Busch Series practice Friday, NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston confirmed."
Looks like Teflon Juan is having some of his Teflon wear off. Though I think he is a good racer, he has done a lot of stupid stuff. Hope NASCAR does something and that this is a wake up call for the driver.

From the 'He ran me over ' department

Earnhardt Jr. finishes race in car that wrecked him:
"FORT WORTH, Texas - Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car suffered heavy damage in a crash on lap 252 of the Samsung 500 when he was rammed from behind by an apparently blinded Kyle Busch.

But when Busch left the track after a 'miscommunication' with his Hendrick Motorsports team, guess who drove Busch's car to the finish?

Yes, Earnhardt Jr."

Now that is a class act. Drive the car of the guy who ran over you to take you out of the race so that he can pick up points in the standings. Just hope it does not come back to bite him later.

Tulsa in the newss...

FOXNews.com - Crowd Throws Rocks at Police During Apartment Standoff With Murder Suspect - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News:
"TULSA, Okla. — A murder suspect surrendered to police following a three-hour standoff at an apartment complex that was complicated by a crowd of bystanders who threw rocks at police, authorities said."
Great, Tulsa gets noticed again! Unfortunately it is for throwing rocks at police men trying to do their job. What makes this worse, and what they do not tell you here is that not less than a month ago, the people of this area of town were screaming for police protection when a drive by shooting fired into a crowd of youth. Now, the police are trying to protect them and they get rocks thrown at them. If I was a cop, I am not sure I would want to go into that area either.
