Force gets beat--YAHOO

I suppose it is true then...success does breed contempt.

Yea...thanks to the Shoes team orders. Capps and Johnson smoke the tires against Hagen...what are the odds???

Too bad we never get back to fields of 16 independently owned cars.

Rich. & Doug are correct.

Funny, Force is probably one of the most approachable pro drivers in the sport. The guy has never what it was like to be poor, from his childhood to his years struggling to make it in drag racing.

It's sad how it has become so "fashionable" to dislike a guy like Force.

Even funnier is the joy some seem to see from Schumacher doing everything possible to buy the funny car championship, right up to his attempt to buy Force's entire crew out from under him during the final run to the championship.

Some people who have achieved little in life have contempt for those who have achieved much.

In the broadcast on ESPN Mike Dunn pretty much said Capps and TJ took dives. What a hollow victory and I lost what little bit of respect I had for the Schumacher bunch. Wonder if all the Chinese and Mexican workers in Schumacher's plants will get the day off to celebrate? Yea, right.

Just makes Erica's and Jason's battle that much better, too bad Pro Stock is on the ropes.

And, when they "go up in smoke", the crew chief took a dive. The driver can't do much about it. They had to be sick about looking like that.

They were on opposite sides of the ladder, If both of them made it to the finals, Hagan wins because he had a 23 point lead. He ran team mates in the second and third rounds who both smoked the tires after making great runs the round before. Just seems like a way of guaranteeing him the championship
