Aric Almirola is credited with winning the Busch Series’ AT&T 250 at Milwaukee this past weekend, but it was Denny Hamlin that finished the race for him. Denny was originally supposed to be in the car but got to the race late and jumped in after Aric qualified the car and started the race on the pole.

I don’t care what the reasoning was for it, it’s just wrong. Especially when you know that whomever starts the race is credited for the race in the end, no matter who finishes it. So it’s not a win for Denny Hamlin anyway.

I just feel bad for Aric, this was his chance to stand out and make a name for himself, but he was forced to step aside by his own car owner, in favor of the bigger name driver.

I hope he’ll get the chance to really win a race this year.

After the debacle that was Talladega last month, I was quite upset, as you can read in my post entitled ‘are you serious?? c’mon!’. I was beyond mad when Brian Vickers spun out his own teammate, Jimmie Johnson, and the leader of the race, Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the last lap of the race.

But apparently I wasn’t as mad as some other Dale Jr. fans. Actually I was but it wasn’t caught on tape. WARNING: This video contains some strong language, so don’t play it when your kids or your boss are around.

But here’s the kicker, this video found it’s way to Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin… They laughed about it during a press conference before the race at Homestead. Apparently Jimmie Johnson hadn’t seen it yet, but Junior said he’d send it to him. Enjoy Jimmie!
