Re: HOLY COW! US Nats coverage
No doubt JF took a dive, not by lane choice or getting out of the groove, but at the light. When you go against someone you know is quicker then you, which RH had been all weekend, you do one of two things, either play games at the tree, messing with their head, which JF would not do to a teammate, or as JF should have done had he really wanted to win, cut a great light. You know the one thing the faster will not do is redlight and give the race away, which means they will be a tad slow, thus a chance for a slower car, in this case JF, to make up a few 100ths, but a .209, give me a break.
What I do not get, they can slow these cars down by the tune, such as for a slippery track, so why did not they put a safe tune in RH's car, and a safer (slower) tune in JF's car, let JF take the good lane and run balls out? Yeah..RH could have still lost had he messed up, but that could of happened anyway.
