    It would be unprecedented for NASCAR to go back and alter the books for a previous race. I don't know if there's an official statute, but they've only done that once in the history of the sport when they awarded Wendell Scott his lone win.

    I usually agree with Ricky Craven, but today I don't. It's easy to point fingers at a driver that's not a fan favorite or not well like in the garage instead of seeing things objectively.

    Could you imagine if dale Jr. turned Kenseth in Kansas? Yay!!!!!!

    Then Kenseth did that at Martinsville to him as "retaliation", the world would burn.

    One point he did make that I do agree with is that this is what NASCAR has created, they've lost control and put drivers in positions where this happens, there's no order.

    NASCAR is looking at it as if each race were a standalone event which is how they SHOULD've looked at it all along. Kansas was two drivers going for the win, Martinsville was a driver 10 laps down waiting on the leader and deliberately taking him out of the race when there hadn't even been an incident between them in that race.

    What I see happening is a new "order" or "code" being set, this is still a young format and the old style of driving for the championship won't work anymore.

    I think we all would've thought nothing of this if, rather than use his car to pound Joey into the wall, Matt had just approached Joey after Kansas and socked him in the face. Done and over, like big boys handle issues. Matt proved himself to be the sulking vengeful victim and lashed out inappropriately. It's like the bullied kid who internalizes, then snaps and shoots up the whole school.

    Going back to Kansas, Matt didn't even get wrecked. There was ZERO damage to his car. He was spun. IF NASCAR really is a sport, A spin is the racing equivalent of an aggravated foul. Using his car, three weeks later as a weapon of retribution is not a penalty shot.

    Penske will win one of the next two races, if not both.

    That's a laughable elaboration, brings nothing supportive to your claims of dirty racing.

    Brad wrecks guys all the time? Also hilarious.

    the truck reference through? crafton never even turned into the corner at pocono, and of course crafton blamed keselowski, what's he going to say? Oh I decided to pinch Brad up top to keep him from getting a run and I miscalculated, doubt it. I also seriously doubt Brad would want to tear up his own damn truck.

    The problem here is you just dont like the drivers, that's fine everyone has their favorites, but don't let that cloud your views.

    Brad and Joey have been in a lot of drama the last two years, mainly because they are competing for wins almost every week. Teams get tired of that and it causes situations on track. I've never seen them drive dirty however, just race for wins. Sure they could've had better ways to handle some things post race, but they're young, they'll figure it out.

    At Texas last year? Thats dirty racing to you? He was battling for the lead on a GWC attempt in the chase and saw a hole Gordon left open and tried to take it, sucks Gordon cut his tire, but hardly dirty racing.

    Guess you werent a Dale fan, or DW, or Rusty Wallace, or maybe you should watch Formula One.

    What I'm gathering is that if a driver intentionally wrecks guys, races aggressively, or "dirty," then you dislike said driver, correct? I want to know where Kyle Busch falls into things here. He is your favorite, right? Is he a clean racer? Has he ever done anything dirty or aggressive in the past? Has he ever intentionally wrecked anyone ever? Do you still like him & pull for him? if so, why?
