My guess is that you really wanted Billy to dive for Steve's sweep, but wanted to only start the thread without laying out a fairly limp argument. Why on earth would a guy who races as his living let there even be a risk to a championship season in the last race? Angie is a good racer, but she doesn't measure up to Matt at this point in her career. Taking a dive got it's negative history in the world of gambling. There is no real gambling in motorsports. The economics of motorsports are fragile at best. Teams are gonna act like teams, they won't be stupid with their hard earned money. Fortunately, there are teams like Kalitta and Torrence where they can afford to let the chips fall as they may. Schumaker teams seam to operate more independently from one another. Force should sometimes admit what's obvious to everyone else .... I think our history of dive discussions revolves much more around people not admitting what is fairly obvious. Angie gave us our money's worth today.
The last few weeks prove why the countdown is worthwhile to many of us.
