Dale Earnhardt Day and Fixing races?

Today is the late Dale Earnhardt Sr's birthday and Dale Earnhardt day was celebrated in Mooresville at DEI. And also on this day Jeff Gordon won his 77 th race of his career to pass Dale Sr. on the all time win list at Talladega superspeedway under caution as the green, white checker attaaempt failed with an accident on the first try of overtime. And much to the dismay of some fans who threw beer cans and debris on the track after the race. which brings me to this point, what the hell are people throwing stuff on the racetrack for anyway. Is this the new "fad" and going to happen at every race for now on no matter who wins? Or is it because of Tony Stewarts accusations that the races are fixed with late cautions cramming all the cars back together with a handful of laps to go. I sure hope that NASCAR is isn't employing this tactic as I seen being talked about on Speedtv's Windtunnel tonite. Then the fans would have a reason to throw things on the track but that would be a severely ugly turn for NASCAR into the future!
Kyle Busch had a hard time at Talladega this weekend barrel rolling in the Busch race and crashing in the Nextel cup Race.
And what's up with Dale Jr, trying to buy part of Robert Yates racing, is he going to be in a Ford next year?

NHL

And speaking of fixing, the reffing in the NHL playoffs has got to be the worst I have ever seen in the playoffs ever. Are they trying to fix it so certain games won't get into overtime by having a ton of power plays for either team? It seems as soon as one team gets ahead near the end of the game they are pretty much guarnateed there won't be a penalty called against them unless is really obvious ...but these refs these days miss everything and sure love the phantom hooking calls. Anyway with no overtimes, certain or many companies won't lose any money as there are no tv timeouts (commercials) in overtime. See the connection here? It seems as if someone has put money and politics above a Canadian passtime....the NHL playoffs.....and the playing for pride idea has long since been removed from the game. It is getting hard to watch powerplay after powerplay. It takes the flow from the game. So Mr. Bettman I know you have something to do with this so stop screwing with the game, it was fine before you changed it.
