Kyle got robbed! I don't think so, John! Kyle (Felix too) was angry at Ted because he thought he belonged in his place on the restart, from what I understood he was 2 laps down and Ted was only 1 down, so Ted was in the right place. Kyle tried to make it three-wide in the dogleg and he tapped the end of Ted's bumper, I don't call that having the position. Besides, I don't know who got robbed, Kyle or the 8 to 10 cars he caused Ted to crash after he was long gone without a scratch! To use Felix' own comment, maybe we should get Stevie Wonder here to tell him that Kyle didn't belong in front of Ted and that his anger made his foot work faster than his brain. Martin ...

I hate to burst your bubble but this is Ricky's second season, he won the Rookie of the Year title last year.

I would have thought two laps would have been about right. I think 5 laps was right because the contact was blatant, you just don't try to make it three-wide in the dogleg at Charlotte. In comparison, when Dale turned Rusty around at Bristol last year, it wasn't exactly evident that Dale was entirely at fault, so going to the back of the longest line wasn't too harsh a penalty. Kyle was angry at Ted (or at NASCAR) and he screwed up on the restart. Martin ... Wow!...

As pert TNN's "Raceday," 6-2-96, it was INDY/ABC 6.8 which dropped to 6.1 when the Penske 500 came on. It had a 2.4 share, I believe it was. NASCAR/TBS pulled a 4.6 share, in spite of Ken Squier.
