Okay, it's Saturday and for me that means another NASCAR race day. Today's race is at Talladega Raceway in Alabama. My guy, Carl Edwards, had moved back into the points leadership of the Nationwide Series after Clint Bower wrecked earlier in the day.
Talledega Raceway is known as the home of "THE BIG ONE", a crash that usually involves a large number of the cars competing in the race. Today's BIG ONE occured as the leaders of the pack of 30-some cars approached turn one. A car driven by Kevin LePage, #61, returning to the track after a pit stop, suddenly re-entered the raceway directly in front of the cars racing on the track. The difference in speed between STUPID LEPAGE and everyone else was about 100 miles per hour.
Well, the cars on the track had no where to go and simply ran over STUPID LEPAGE. My guy, Carl Edwards, was the first car to hit LePage (his car is the one that is airborne in the photo above, totally destroying his car and causing major damage to 15 other cars (many of which were unable to return to the track.
When the ESPN reporter got to him, LePage's comments portrayed him as the victim of all of those bad drivers who could not avoid his brightly painted red and yellow car. I'm sorry Kevin, how can you ever feel justified in jumping out in front of a huge pack of cars running at race speed when you're still accelerating. He truly felt he had done nothing wrong. Kevin LePage, you should have your license yanked--PERMANENTLY!

I totally agree with your assessment of the LePage ignorance. He has embarrassed himself by stating he was in the right to come in (no matter what) at turn one. The rules were preset at the drivers meeting that they were not to do that at this race today and to wait until they reached turn two. Therefore since LePage has clearly shown that he cannot follow rules which can seriously hurt others then, Nascar needs to act immediately and swiftly to suspend LePage permanently.
