The Kalitta camp was awash in class and so was Capps. They handled it a lot better than I probably could. I hope that they both get their championship somedau for as far as I am concerned they are both champions and have just not got the ring yet.

Major congratulations to Kalitta and the crew. They just barely missed the mark. One round of racing would have made all the difference. I really feel bad for Doug - he deserves a championship, because he is championship caliber material.

Doug and his team are a class act. They had an awesome year, hopefully they will get one next year.

You couldn't help but feel the devastation that ran through Doug as the numbers came up on the screen. Yes . he will probably get a championship someday-maybe next year- but I felt terrible for him and the team. And yes he showed great class and so did Ron.

Did anyone else see Doug when the camera was on him just before his interview with Gary, looked like he mouthed a pretty expletive word, something like motherf#$%ker. Granted had that been me, I wouldn't have even done an interview, I would have been off behind the scenes puking my guts out after watching that run by Tony.
I would have been like "you gotta be f'n kidding me". To come that close and have all the stars line up and he pulls off a record setting run to take the championship, it makes you wonder, what the f does someone have to do to beat that Army team.
To me, that was the single greatest and most intense run I have ever seen.

I felt so bad for Dougie, he deserved that Championship, can you imagine working so hard for something, for a solid year, only to have it taken away from you at the last possible minute.............and taken away in a near impossible manner. Man that has got to hurt bad.
What can you say, the Army team earned it the hard way!

Every once in a while you go away from a contest thinking "It's a shame someone had to lose at all."
That was the case for me yesterday.
Doug got beat by AJ then had his title hopes dissolved by AJ in the final?

What did you expect him to say,"Aw shucks, I guess it wasn't my year?"
