Wicked Wonderings: Loudon

Am I the only one who thought Ryan Newman didn't keep his line when he ran into Stewart?  Aren't you supposed to give the leader a little room?  Especially when you just pitted and don't want to bring out a caution?

Am I the  only one who thought it was ironic that Newman then caused the next caution and ended up finishing behind Stewart.

Am I the only one who noticed Robby Gordon hit everything but the pace car?  Was that what he was aiming for in that last caution?

Am I the only one who believes Robby may need to calm down the next time he's at New Hampshire?  Isn't that where he threw his helmet at Michael Waltrip in the fall race last year?  And played tag with Jeff Gordon one year?  And crashed out Stewart and Jeremy Mayfield in the 2004 Fall chase race while trying to crash into Greg Biffle? 

Am I the only one who thinks Nascar needs to impound and inspect the cars that made the fuel mileage in this race?  I mean, 8 extra laps, with the crew chief saying save fuel?  Things that make you go hmmm...

Am I the only one wondering how Hendrick pulled off two races in a row  with long fuel mileage?  A few years ago it was Penske & Newman.  But lately, it is the Hendrick boys who seem to get more mileage per tank of gas.

Am I the only one who questions why Nascar did not red flag the race at the end instead of running 8 extra laps?
