2014 NASCAR Thread

I'm not sure what Harvick was doing at the end, IMO it looked like he started it.

This.

Also lets not forget who caused the previous caution in his arm itching 15 car.

Also Brad made a move that pretty much anyone else would have made.

 

[NinjaDesignz]

uhh....

I mean, he did something and then the fighting started. Not saying it wouldn't have happened.

 

[Blitz24]

Harvick nonchalantly pushed Brad into Gordon.

 

[Johnny1996]

This is why you don't wanna miss a second of coverage from the checkers to the very end of the broadcast.

 

[Müle]

If Harvick doesn't get fined, something is wrong.

BK's attitude has been terrible and disrespectful. I don't even think Jeff would have gone for him had Kevin decided not to troll the whole party.

Before the Jeff/Brad scuffle started, Harvick was standing behind Brads car watching it go down, then he pushed Brad. I think if Jeff hadn't been there, Harvick would have been in Jeff's place. Brad was blocking like crazy the last couple laps, I'm sure Harvick was not happy about that.

That didn't take long. And it might be spilling over to this thread if you know what I mean http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/watch...rs-beat-the-crap-out-of-ea-1653846492/+travis

Funny, he won 2012 without need to be a snotty baby.

EDIT: I actually don't mind his driving, tonight was a racing incident. But his attitude is not one of a champion.

Just when I thought the fight at Charlotte was nuts, here comes another.

And I think with no contest, the troll of the year goes to Kevin Harvick.

Harvick AND Kenseth???

In fairness, its Harvick. You can't tell me after the blocking he got from Keselowski AND being right there when the argument was going on, you didn't see that coming.

What the hell was Paul Menards crew doing?

Trying to break it up (unsuccessfully).

 

[nascarfan1400]

Just rewound it

Someone was shouting over and over leading to the fight "KICK HIS A**!"

And Kevin was mad because Kez blocked him with 2-to-go

 

[Jahgee]

I think Menard's crew was just trying to protect their **** from the others ****ing it up

Someone said Kenseth and I saw yellow suits but couldn't see the logos so I wasn't sure. After I saw it on Youtube I realized it was Menard's crew which makes sense because they were right near there.

Love the shot in the garage where everyone else was watching it, it was like being back in high school when a fight broke outside

Love the shot in the garage where everyone else was watching it, it was like being back in high school when a fight broke outside

Especially when the two teammates Kenseth and Hamlin were watching it

or being at a college cafeteria when people start yelling at each other lol

 

[AnthonyD1993]

I had to see the fight on YouTube because I picked a bad time to go outside. Stupid me-I knew that I should have just watched the race instead of turning it to do work outside.

 

[RACECAR]

Just realized that that's the second time a fight broke out and Jamie Little was a little too close (and ironically, involving Gordon).

Tune into Fox Sports 1 Now for Victory Lane guys.

Watch next year when NASCAR sets up a food table on pit road "for the hard working crew members".

I watched the actual incident a few times over and I amend my original statement. Gordon's fault not only for choosing the outside line but leaving too much of a gap between himself and Johnson going into Turn 1. When you have drivers like Brad and Harvick right behind, you can't give them an open invitation like that, especially on a GWC.

 

[Dolph Drago]

It looked to me like Keselowski went for a gap that wasn't large enough, then Gordon came down into him not realizing he was there. If the gap was big enough, I would have pinned the accident on Gordon. But there just wasn't enough room for Brad to come up at that point. Both share some blame, but I'd put more on Keselowski for sticking his car in a spot it shouldn't have been in in the first place.

Just another racing incident turned WWE because the stakes are so high

as for starting the fight please remember, this is the second time in a row Gordon failed to make the winning move on a teammate. And, as others on here have noted, Brad Keselowski is not a popular figure in the paddock right now

With two laps left in a race that grants you an automatic free pass to the championship finale, already staring up at a large points deficit from last week's accident, what is he supposed to do?

I can't imagine any real racer not going for that gap at that point in that race, considering the massive stakes. If you don't get to Jimmie Johnson's rear spoiler to side-draft him right then, the race is already over.

For years we've complained that drivers would just ride around and settle for a good points day instead of going all out to win the race. You can't accuse Brad of settling for a good points day today. He was there to win, and nothing else was good enough. Kudos to him for going for it.

Newman resurrecting the phantom yellow conspiracy.

 

[Northstar]

I never thought I would say NASCAR is the WWE of motorsports, but NASCAR is turning into the WWE of motorsports...

Wouldn't it need to be dead before it can be resurrected?

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

It can always get worse... I could go into detail but somehow NASCAR will fnd a way to rip it off

 

[RVDNuT374]

So how long before Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler start calling races?
