Dale Jr. fuels wild celebration of Ryan Blaney’s win with coolers full of beer

There are worse neighbors to have than Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The Hendrick Motorsports driver helped kick the celebration of his neighborhood pal Ryan Blaney’s first career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series win up a notch on Sunday night/Monday morning by bringing the beer. And lots of it.
“Dale’s a damn good friend, man,” Blaney said in an Instagram Live video Monday morning. “He dropped off four coolers of beer. Four damn coolers. That was really special.”

It’s a good thing, too, as apparently the Wood Brothers Racing driver’s bash lasted well into the wee hours of the morning. Check out the time stamp on Darrell Wallace Jr.’s star-studded tweet.

Talk about a cause worth partying all night for — not only was it Blaney’s first win in what’s shaping up to be a promising career, it was also the 99th Monster Energy Series win for the Wood Brothers, and first since Trevor Bayne’s 2011 Daytona 500 victory.

Kyle's crew chief didn't cost him the race . Being the leader you're in a box if he came some wound if stayed out , truex pitting from second brought most with him , think kyle wins next week ?

yes, busch was in the unenviable spot of leading with the dominant car.... he goes in, half the field stays out; he stays out, obviously most of the field behind him pits.... he was a sitting duck, plain and simple, no crew chief in the world can help him there

[5mike5]

Any experienced one would have pitted because no matter what most of not all cars were pitting anyways no matter what Kyle did, on old pocono tires. That's a TON a laps at pocono and even had a few stayed out they were sitting ducks just like Kyle was

tony didn't settle.... be interesting to see what a jury does with the case; voir dire should be interesting to say the least

Real $ betting thread is up for Michigan

Whole thing has got weird.

I read somewhere that a judge ruled Tony's insurance company could walk away, which Tony appealed but then he walked away from that appeal.

What exactly does that mean or imply? That the insurance company thinks Tony did something to void the contract? If so what could that be? That they think he did it on purpose?? Cant think of another reason apart from something basic like not having paid for the policy...

[shaunovery]

open looking race this weekend, were due a big price winner

That would be my read on it..... depending on the exact policy language; but typically intentional torts are excluded from coverage.....

they're probably walkin' the thin line of telling tony "we don't think you intentionally killed the guy, but you did intentionally engage in the conduct that took his life (gunnin' the engine and causing the car to collide with the other guy, who was coming toward tony to give him a piece of his mind up close).....

Seems pretty damning to me, without an explanation.

Strange that it's hardly been reported. Cant recall where I even read it but even that article just kind of mentioned it as an aside and didn't point out how strange it was

[mikejamm]

Good to see the Wood Brothers win one, doesn't happen very often, and those guys have been do'in this shit for a lot of years now.
Well deserved victory!

[shaunovery]

Weather a bit iffy this weekend

[yisman]

He showed no remorse at the time, but given that the civil lawsuit is still ongoing, I'm sure Smoke now regrets what he did.

http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/06/13/mediation-fails-to-settle-ward-familys-lawsuit-against-tony-stewart/

An eight-hour mediation session last week did not lead to a settlement of the lawsuit the family of Kevin Ward Jr. filed against Tony Stewart, a court document shows.
It was the second eight-hour mediation session. The first was held April 18.
With no settlement, the suit will continue as scheduled. A motion on Stewart’s behalf for partial summary judgement will be heard June 23 at U.S. District Court in Utica, New York.
The Ward family filed a wrongful death lawsuit Aug. 7, 2015. Ward died Aug. 9, 2014, after he was struck by Stewart’s car during an Empire Super Sprints race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York.

that was from last year

http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/story/tony-stewart-kevin-ward-family-lawsuit-insurance-sprint-cup-new-york-073016

On Friday in Utica, N.Y., U.S. District Court Judge David Hurd ruled that Axis Insurance Co.’s policy with Stewart "unambiguously limited" the insurer’s liability to specific races.According to the decision, Stewart’s policy covered 105 "specified events." The judge wrote that it is "undisputed" that the sprint car event in which Ward was killed was not one of those specified in the policy. Attorneys for Stewart had countered that certain language in the policy supported their position that coverage was warranted.

Stewart will now have to bear the costs of his defense as the lawsuit continues.

[5mike5]

if the policy is as clear cut as the artice makes it, I'd have countersued Stewart for all my costs and attorney's fees if I was running the damn insurance company....

[5mike5]

Daniel Suarez will start in the rear
