Normally NASCAR boards don't irritate me much, but the guy who thinks Hamlin is to blame really needs to watch the race before he comments...
Hamlin strung that tire out until 5 laps left. He wasn't far from making it, and had he pitted before the caution he caused he would have lost two laps. He made the right call.
If Jr fans want anyone to be mad at, try Jr himself. Everyone says Busch drove too hard, did anyone think that maybe Jr wasn't driving hard enough? If his car was good enough to beat Busch, he should have driven harder. If it wasn't as good as Busch's, he was going to lose one way or the other. Had he been trying harder, maybe he would have stayed in front of Busch. Its not like Busch just happened to poke his nose in there and spin Jr. If you will recall, they had been side by side for a lap or two. How is that Busch's fault? Maybe had Jr just eased off he would have had a second instead of a finish in the teens, but he decided to take the high side into a turn, which is risky because you are hoping the guy on the inside doesn't get loose.
And the best part of all of this is that Jr isn't blaming anyone. He places the wreck on hard racing, which I agree with. Its only his fans who have their panties in a wad. Why don't you guys take the high road like Jr or shut the hell up? I don't have any problem with Jr, he races like he's paid to do, but his fans are some of the biggest whiners in all sports......
