Very well said from someone that was there. Sadly this will only fire up the experts with blinders on. Cruz lost, Force took a dive, Tony got up on the tire, Hight is in. Life and business goes on.

Man I wish Whit was back out there, he is spot on with this (although forgot to mention to 2 dives Cruz took for Tony in '07).


One bad thing is there really is no way to enforce this rule.

I love the title, HYPOCRISY ABOUNDS, and you're right PJ, neither one of TPeds championships are untarnished, yet he has the audacity to cry foul!

"If they could admit that team orders are a part of racing it would not be quite as bad. It is the lie which gives the sport a black eye.”

Spot on, Whit.

Nice article and very good insight from Whit. The one thing I would disagree with though is Whit saying that Gary could have "easily" outrun him that day. That was a one lane race track that day, that was the whole point of giving Whit the good lane. could it have happened? Yes, but not easily. I think Dixon did make a miracle run in the bad lane to win TF, if I remember correctly.

I have been a big Whit fan for years, and this is why, he speaks his mind!

WOW I guess now we have the FINAL word.
He is Whit Bazemore.

I don't think we got the final word, but there were a lot of good ones in there!

 

[rollingthunder]

well i guess if Whit is talking he of anyone would know what a whiners.
If were calling a spade a spade.

 

[nitrojunky]

Personally not a big WHIT fan, but I think that what he said was well put. Bottom line, it happened, can't change it so let's move on. Not like there won't be controversy in the next 10 weeks folks. Let's get to Charlotte!!

Man I miss Hip right now!

Still on the first page of posts and it looks like it's already turning into a Whit bashing thread. SOS.

ONE of the things I have always admired about Whit is that he walks his own way.
If he were in politics and I was able, he would get my vote everytime.

I am not a fan of Baze but the man knows whats up. Tony needs to keep his mouth shut! If it wasn't for John he'd still be a nobody.

 

[paoldtimer]

That's why I love the guy! Straight up tell it like it is. I still miss ya, Whit!

Hey you said it. If your going to call one a whiner you have to call them all whiners. PEDS FORCE OR BAZEMORE. In all fairness they have all whined at some point.

Um its only whining if its not the person you root for

I am a big Bazemore fan. I think that much hate is more your problem than Whit's.

If Force was put on trial, no jury would convict. Too much reasonable doubt. What happened was improbable, but not impossible.

here's and excellent article on the subject, with some historical context.

Kinda makes that good ole fan loving Tony P look a little hypocritical, don't it?

So part of the skill set of any multiple car team these days is to throw an occasional race away in a convincing manner beyond dispute? Another skill that is helpful is anger management! It could be that a lost temper at the wrong time could determine the outcome of a championship! How about that?

It's nice hearing from Bazemore. The respect he has for Force's driving is a generous thing for him to express. Thanks for the link.
