Him not making the field at Daytona because of rain is crap IMO. I think NASCAR's rule of top 35 is BS. Why is it fair that a car who might have a popular driver or have a big name sponsor be able to make the race if they didn't bring their best to qualify? It just limits small teams and part time racers from competing. I used to be an avid race fan but I've pretty much stopped watching because of the corporate sponsor BS thats gone on over the past 3-5 years. I personally hope NASCAR crashs and burns in the TV ratings so that maybe one day it'll be like it used to be in the 90's and early 00's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4576066808563673842008-04-23T13:49:00.000-04:002008-04-23T13:49:00.000-04:00Always liked "ole Boris" but he stepped in a pile ...Always liked "ole Boris" but he stepped in a pile this time.

"Garsh, I'm sorry. It was just one of them accidents."<BR/><BR/>Yeah, well maybe for the first few milliseconds when you overcooked your braking, Sparky, but after that you made a conscious decision that you weren't going to be the one who came out on the bad end of the collision. You could've locked 'em down and accepted the flat-spotting of your tires for your error in judgement, but instead you elected to spin Boris out of your way and carry on.<BR/><BR/>As you can perhaps tell by this point, no, I don't think Boris was whining and, no, I don't think he "said too much".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78216103495640147412008-04-23T12:22:00.000-04:002008-04-23T12:22:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-50671027043222010092008-04-23T12:06:00.000-04:002008-04-23T12:06:00.000-04:00The rules for posting are on the right side of the...The rules for posting are on the right side of the main page.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56368751883404532552008-04-23T11:53:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:53:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5629928524922668512008-04-23T11:42:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:42:00.000-04:00I, too, was a Boris fan before this week.

He needs to look back at his career to see the times he spun someone.<BR/><BR/>Ambrose showed so much class after the Robby Gordon deal last year. And he showed a lot of class with Boris.

Passion and personality are what we want to see.<BR/><BR/>However, when a driver threatens to purposefully wreck someone the driver that wrekced them in the next race they'll be in, and then 3 days later refuse to accept the honest apology in the manner and spirit it was given, then that driver's gone too far. That's not passion or personality, that's being childish and immature. <BR/><BR/>There are ways to handle yourself on camera where you can show your personality without resorting to a temper tantrum. It's one thing had Marcos tried to apologise directly after the incident. But both drivers have had a chance to cool down and think about things. If Boris was still so angry, he could have refused the interview, or even said to Marcos, "I appreciate you apologising, but I will need some time before I can accept it." Marcos would have gotten to apologise, Boris would have heard it, and both drivers would have come out better for it.<BR/><BR/>As it is, Marcos has been on both ends of road racing incidents, and the manner in which he gives and takes shows what a class act he is. I am an even bigger Marcos Ambrose fan than I was when the Mexico City race started. (And the only reason I was watching the race to begin with was Marcos.)<BR/><BR/>I can't say the same for Boris. I guess I'll stick to AMP and Monster, thank you very much.JHDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520556026815084964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43635342006165428392008-04-23T10:32:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:32:00.000-04:00C'mon...we all wanted to see more drivers show pas...C'mon...we all wanted to see more drivers show passion and real personality, didn't we?<BR/><BR/>Anytime a driver does let some real steam show, we crucify him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4625236688661042492008-04-23T10:10:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:10:00.000-04:00I've lost all respect for Boris as a result of his...I've lost all respect for Boris as a result of his rants about this incident with Marcus Ambrose.

For someone who races so rarely, to have such a 'hissy fit' both on Sunday during the race, after the race and now on TV is really bad form. As has been said here, Marcos is a class act and I will be watching his career as he moves through the season. It is obvious that Boris has 'had his day' and is now ready to try his hand at something else totally unrelated to racing and TV. There is too much going on in the sport to waste time on a person like Boris.

Marcos was a class act in Australia, and he left the sport as a true champion. I am glad to see he is doing well in the U.S and that he has a few fans over there too. In regards to Boris - I am amazed! Are all Nascar drivers as insane as he is? Marcos admitted fault - get over it Boris. By the way - if Boris does try and play dirty - let me assure you Marcos can handle himself on the track - Be careful Boris!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
