Comments on: How Did Brian Vickers Make the Chase?

One, ironically, has the last name of "Buskill". I shudder to contemplate a picture of these credible individuals next to Jeremy's ex-mother-in-law. They may look like they are from a very shollow gene pool! This is continuing to remind me of a combination of Jerry Springer and getting the Mafia upset with you, with a little Adolf Hitler thrown in for good measure. Messrs. France and Helton will not quit until they have done everything possible to totally ruin a decent human being as an example to the others involved in this "sport" that you don't mess with them! I am really concerned about Jeremy keeping it together through all this! I admit the "extremely major sponsor" announcement hit me as very weird, but the powers that be made a tactical decision that they accomplished their goal with Carl Long via a $200.000 fine that he couldn't even begin to pay, but Mayfield might have been able to come up with that amount of money. So more is needed to crush Jeremy. I really think that a good question for many who are doing well in NASCAR is "what good is it to a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?" I am sure many will say "it isn't affecting me. He should have obeyed the rules, and he would be fine". Please refer to my previous "Easy Rider" observations, or possibly (re)watch the movie! I still could be totally wrong about Jeremy, Hilda I hope not, but this "holy war" really scares me!

Like his brother, rotten apples don't fall very far from the tree! They both are card-carrying members of the entitlement club. Kurt was very lucky to win his championship, and it surely was funny when Jack Roush let us know that Kurt had "used up his equity" when he confronted one of Joe Arpaio's fine sheriffs down Phoenix way. And Kyle is extremely great at blaming his team when his car isn't perfect. I will admit he can flat drive a very loose racecar, but so can Craig Dollansky. When I was more of a fan of NASCAR, I told others that with very few exceptions, I would love for my son or daughter to spend a week with almost any NASCAR driver. I can't say that about a lot of drivers now. Specifically the drivers of the 2, 7, 14, 18, and 42 cars are not who would be role models I would choose. I put the 14 driver on this list mostly because he is very busy and does not have his own kids. There's a bunch of drivers I would put ? by because I have little knowledge of them. One retired driver I would put at the top of the list is the one who won the last championship ever to go to the 88 car. Just my somewhat humble opinions. I would be fine with my son or daughter spending time with the Mayfields! Hilda,
