More WOW Moments

holy crap, look at the numbers above, they are as close to identical as I've ever seen. What was the margin of victory in inches?

.019 margin of victory so i'd guess 12-18 inches?

i have my doubts that jeg flipped him off. He may have been pointing at Anderson with his index finger, which I've see him do in the past. Reiff's comment sounded more like it was edited than cutoff by Dunn. Besides Jeg doing that, would come off as incredibly juvenile, for racer of his stature, especially knowing a camera is staring u, right in the face.

Incredibly Juvenile? They are drag racers. We are juvenile before we ever get in or around a car. lol..

And really? Who cares? Personally, I think it's hilarious if it's true. Be even funnier if you could see a sh*t eating grin to go with it on the in-car. Yeah, it is Jeggie, a "professional" driver, but really? Up in arms and judgmental over this?

This isn't a cure for cancer, it is drag racing. Its supposed to be fun, and maybe he was just having some juvenile fun, just like he was smoking the tires on the burnout, whacking the throttle a few times before staging or even banging gears going down the track nosing out in front of Anderson saying crap to himself that is probably good that he has button to talk on his radio. lol. Competitive people having fun..

And Joey.. WOW.. So glad, God and Physics were on his side. The same thing that caused the incident is the same thing that probably kept it from going over.

Great race, and it more than likely knocked Greg out of contention for the championship. Which Greg basically said later in a an interview on the broadcast.

.019 is about 6 feet at 210mph. And I still say he flipped Anderson the bird. It sure looked like a middle finger to me, and the way he drew his hand back wasn't like he was pointing at Greg. I'm going with the bird story....although I do believe it was an "I gotcha, buddy" type thing - not something done in anger.

Hell, somebody here knows Coughlin - ask him next time you see him.

Apparently Matt Smith also won the 2005 U.S. Nationals.
Don't believe what you see folks!

Justin, I'm with you, if he did flip him off, it would just crack me up. Guess I'm juvenile too (nah, I'm sure I am) but I would get a kick out of it if that's what happened.

a St. Louis wow moment was Greg Anderson distributing some payback to Jeg by Tree’ing him, thus not allowing him to run away with the points lead. If Jeg did give Greg the finger at Dallas last week, i bet Greg received a double barrel 'bird' from Jeg on Sunday
