I missed most of the nationwide race except the last 15 laps...what happened to Ryan

[TonyChampion]

Matt Kenseth got into him...looked like Ryan didn't know he was there...

[Tonya]

Matt Kenseth got fed up and wrecked him.

Did they throw bogus debris cautions again? They mentioned debris on the track at one time, but I never saw them show it. Nascar up to their old tricks?
By the way, Kyle gave a good interview. No anger shown.
I thought for sure he was going to win the race, but it was not meant to be. He was having problems with his radio. He said there was too much static.

It's so cool that the drivers take the time to go to places like Walter Reed. It's a shot of reality for some of these guys, and shows that they appreciate what these soldiers are doing.

Did you also know that Jeff Gordon and Jr put a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetary? The video from that was really nice to see.

I saw that and I think they were both quite moved by the experience. I've been there to see that and it is quite impressive and humbling.
