Sounds like I have some videos to watch.

You won't regret watching them either. It was a pretty insane post race- that's for sure.

The race itself was a snoozefest.

I was kind of thinking about sharing that.

Describes Brad's situation

 

[Dolph Drago]

Interesting how Kenseth, who many consider to be a robot with little emotion, would be the one to jump a driver. When it initially happened, I thought it was a crew member who went after him, not Matt himself.

LMFAFO. I gotta put this on FB. I just laughed so darn hard over this

 

[GTPorsche]

Brad and "a crew member" were the only ones called to NASCAR's hauler.

There's also this...

I don't think NASCAR is going to be too thrilled with that.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

yeah no kidding

 

[RACECAR]

Just saw the video and wow, I have never seen Kenseth this angry but unsurprisingly, its because of Brad. He wins a championship and suddenly thinks he's so damn entitled to everything and he can do no wrong. I'd go as far as say he's actually getting to a point where he's worse then Stewart ever was. I'm just waiting for him to pull a idiotic move on his teammate, possibly the one that costs him a championship. The reckless path he's on, its only a matter of time before the very driver he insisted on having as his teammate becomes the next victim of his behavior.

Matt Kenseth is trying to prevent Brad from bullying every other kid on the playground.

A good start would be stopping the bullying of Nationwide drivers on a regular basis.

 

[MustangRyan]

Take the Cup drivers out, and the Nationwide Series would probably go under.

 

[Müle]

If Kenseth wanted to start something, fine, I'd rather them do it with fists than with cars (less dangerous, more entertaining, less team equipment being damaged, etc) but trying to jump him from behind was the completely wrong way to go about it.

Hamlin basically admitted to starting the car fight anyway by brake checking unless there's something I don't know about, and Brad claimed Matt hit him under yellow while getting a wave around, so I'm not sure why they're being so salty. Oh wait, I forgot. They drive for Gibbs. Gibbs drivers have a looong history of being salty.

 

[RACECAR]

Pretty sure most of Gibbs drivers were already salty before they went with Gibbs (Busch for example, already abit of a brat when Hendrick had him) so I'm not sure why you feel need to automatically label anyone who drives for Gibbs that. Does that mean Daniel Suarez is gonna be a annoying prick as well? Cody Coughlin? Justin Boston? Darrell Wallace Jr?

And lets not forget Carl Edwards already has done salty behavior before (ironically, to Brad and funny enough, his teammate Matt Kenseth, both while driving at Roush). I get it, you despise JGR but I'm pretty sure he isn't the only owner with Salty drivers (two of which I already mentioned). Hell, guess which one drives for Penske.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

This will probably make anything that happens at Dega more noteworthy for sure- especially if it involves any of the four drivers in the melee yesterday.

 

[iRevelationz]

Notice how I'm not condoning Brad?

Yet you aren't blasting him to the moon and back like you are Kenseth/Hamlin in every post, when Brad was the one that started all this in the first place.

I smell bias.

 

[The Bman]

I smell bias.

When hasn't he been biased?

 

[GTPorsche]

This will probably make anything that happens at Dega more noteworthy for sure- especially if it involves any of the four drivers in the melee yesterday.

Brad won't be in a position to risk anything. I think the window for his championship chances has already been locked shut, and will be further reinforced on Tuesday.

 

[The Bman]

Keselowski, Earnhardt, and Johnson are all out of it. I cannot see any of them winning Talladega, nor the drivers ahead of the cutoff line finishing poorly.

I think Jr. is still in it, but definitely Kes & JJ are out

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Jr. knows how to win plate races. It's certainly a longshot, but it's possible. JJ and Jr. are both 26 points out of the cutoff spot. If a few racers get caught in trouble early, it could very easily sway the grid.

 

[GTPorsche]

If Johnson is out, so is Jr.

They're tied in points.

 

[Johnny1996]

As a Dale Jr fan, I really hope that he can pull it off and win Talladega, then the championship.

As an open-minded fan, all we can do is just watch and hope. Let fate take its course. There's always next year and the year(s) after that too.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

As a Jr. fan, he's realistically out unless wins. I don't think he'll make it otherwise.
