((HT: NASCAR on FOX))
The HQ will maintain that if it walks like a duck and quacks like same, then...
Well, you know...
We'll show you what happened all day at the NASCAR event in Fontana...
The ending...
Kevin Harvick on Lap 20
Roush-Fenway drivers driving
And Jimmie Johnson
But NASCAR is not hearing that Goodyear is at any kind of fault...
From Twitter:
Motor Racing Network @MRNRadio 22m
#NASCAR's Robin Pemberton says tire issues not a @GoodyearRacing problem. "I think Goodyear has done a pretty good job with it"
Obviously, the drivers were going way too fast...

Duels At Daytona End In Flames
((HT: NASCAR on FOX))
You had a feeling that, since the first Duel at Daytona was a clean 60-lap race, the second race was going to be messy...
And it was at the end...
Johnson apologized as the initial thoughts were that the 48 ran out of gas, but it seems more like someone got out of line and wobbled Johnson into the heart of the traffic pattern..
It also made for some interesting allowances into the race at Daytona- both Labonte brothers DROVE their way in... and there are seven rookies in the field carrying the yellow back bumper tape...
Race is Sunday...

Smoke Wins Dover, Johnson Penalized On Restart
((HT: NASCAR on FOX))
Tony Stewart broke a 30-race winless streak by passing Juan Pablo Montoya with a handful laps to go and getting it to the checkered first at the Monster Mile.
But, the 48 car had its chance to set a record 8th win, until...
And the big word is "until..."
Johnson was assessed a drive-thru penalty for jumping. He disagreed...
A lot...
“I ran half-throttle for the first half a lap, waiting for him, and then at some point you’ve got to go, and you’ve got to race, and that’s when I got back in the gas and took off,” he explained. “I was hoping they would see that I was trying to give him the spot back.”
“That was an easy call -- a very easy call,” NASCAR VP Robin Pemberton said. “He beat the 42 even out of the (restart) box, from what we could see on the film. We give 'em an opportunity to give it back.”
In other news, Brad Keselowski's car failed a post-race "height-stick test"- meaning he was too low in the front...
Penalties are to be doled out this week...
And the other half of Stewart-Haas Racing wasn't so lucky... Ryan Newman got into it with David Gilliland and, by the looks of it, the 39 took out the 38 with a tap on the rear that sent Gilliand up the track and, eventually, took them both out.
The HQ is fairly certain we haven't heard the last of this one...
