Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

I suppose everyone would be happy if drag racers were all
NASCAR-Like ROBOTS who went to speech coachs and learned to say
The politically correct things at all times.
But in this day and age any Non-PC comments mean you need to
Lose your Job cause you might have hurt someones feelings
Why does everyone just seem to want to hear the usual cliches instead of
actual feelings of which Whit often displays
Why the drive for everyone just to be "Nice guys"
If I'd just lost my best chance of a trophy this year I'd also be Ticked off

Hi Michael! Just thought I'd say that although I am not a huge Whit fan, sometimes it seems like he just can't win. To his credit, this time he did make his disparaging remarks off camera and they still seem to be all over the internet just as if they had been interview context--

Michael,

I'm not a Whit "basher" at all. However, I, as many other people, are tired of his immature tirades and non team-player attitude.

He got beat. He's a grown man who acts like I did when I lost a game of kickball in the 1st grade.

Whit would never get talked about if he didn't act like he did yesterday. Whit can be pleasant if he doesn't lose...unfortunately that happens in this sport, and role models need to do it with class and dignity.

Yup. I am with you on this. Whit is one of the few that actually get upset when they lose. Not to say other drivers want it less, but I like a person with real emotion. Besides, have you looked at all the other threads?????

I am all for drivers saying what they feel, however Whit comes off as crying and whining all the time. I will say though up till this point he was actually doing pretty well this year. And like its already been pointed out, he had .77 to Fuller's .106. He still left first, mabye he should be pissed at Lee since the car didnt run strong.

No drivers need to be "Nice guys", but if your going to be part of a multicar team you need need to be a team player.

With that said maybe Whit needs to be on a single car team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

I cant believe Fuller wasnt under orders to lay down for Whit. Whit moved up in points this weekend but an extra 20 points for the win sure would have helped in the points chase. Lets face it having two cars in the top eight stands to really help in a championship run. Not to mention that Whits car is the one with real sponsorship dollars behind it.

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

Maybe "Hot Rod" needs to take a chapter from Capps' book and give him a right hook!!! I'm sure with Rod being a martial arts fighter Whit will go down after 1 hit, making him forget where he is for a few minutes!!!

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

I wish Mike Strasburg would have been more patient at the tree and we wouldn't be having this Whit discussion at all?

Re: Congrats Hot Rod!

Agreed with Mark Ivy on the team orders
Who needed that win more
Is that what Hot Rod was talking about When he said
"He Made a Mistake"
And What do teamates do?
Isn't that the point of being on a team?
