2015 NASCAR Thread - And then there was 1

I can't believe I am saying this, but for once, and only once, I agree with Kyle Petty. This will be nascar's defining moment on whether or not stuff like this continues to happen.

 

[Timlour]

Kyle Petty on the Logano/Kenseth incident- "...This is total BS..." "If they [NASCAR] don't call this... They will continue to see crap like this."

 

[Ganon83]

If Kenseth gets penalized Danica should as well

 

[nascarfan1400]

If Kenseth gets penalized Danica should as well

And Harvick

And Logano

And Gilliland

 

[Swagger897]

I agree with Kyle, but I don't see NASCAR doing something more than a monetary fine, or a few race suspension.

If it were me, the entire team shouldn't be allowed to race for the rest of the season, as it was obviously allowed within the team, means any of the other drivers would agree to do the same.

And Harvick

And Logano

And Gilliland

You don't seem to see the point do you?

edit:
I do agree Harvick should get it too.

 

[GTPorsche]

Just seeing the replay for the 2-20-41 incident.

That was 50/50 Kenseth and Keselowski.

How about a suspension for Logano?

 

[Swagger897]

How about a suspension for Logano?

For what?

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

No, Kyle Petty. Kansas was the opportunity to make the call. They also had the opportunity to make the call at Talladega. They didn't.

Stop covering for NASCAR's ineptitude and lack of foresight. Their inaction made this a "free for all" in the first place.

You're right, it should've started from there, but the build up has reached the peak and now something is going to happen... It's better than never, but I agree too earlier it needed to be cleaned up.

Do you?

It's quite clear in my eyes.

 

[Jahgee]

Guys, if you don't like what's happening in NASCAR, then leave. No one's forcing you to watch

 

[GTPorsche]

It's this current chase format. It just opens up situations for this to occur. This was never a thing until last year.

Well, I should say, wrecking championship contenders was never a thing until last year. People did wreck others intentionally but NASCAR continues to let it slide.

 

[nascarfan1400]

What I love is how NASCAR finally gets what they wanted, and then they say its unacceptable.

 

[Blood Eagle]

For what?

An intentional spin of the 20. Is there any doubt in anyones mind it was not intentional?

 

[Timlour]

"Quintessential NASCAR."

But you have to remember, these are nascar officials .

This is up there for Race of The Year. Beat maybe by only Darlington.

Darlington was too long time wise, this was bar none the best race of the year.

 

[Swagger897]

An intentional spin of the 20. Is there any doubt in anyones mind it was not intentional?

A.) Matt was slower than Logano. It's not like he just pushed out of the way "Just cuz" like we saw tonight.
B.) Both were on the lead lap, fighting for position, not like what we saw tonight.
C.) No one has said intentional yet, only those who believe it was Joey's intent to do so, which no one can prove. The best excuse someone can come up with for it (not being Matt or Joey) is that the turbulent air lifted the car off on the left rear and caused Matt to spin. So simply put, Matt couldn't handle it.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Logano getting a taste of his own medicine alone was enough to make is challenge Carlington.

 

[Dotini]

When two guys are fighting for the lead and have confrontation, that is one thing. When a guy many laps down wrecks the leader, that's another.

Look for a one race suspension at a bare minimum.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Just came to say congrats, Jeff! You have singlehandedly restored my faith in NASCAR. Can't wait to see you fight in Homestead on your last ride

not hard to believe...

Seems like they just want to talk and make peace..

Logano should have at least a race suspension from what he did at Kansas, Harvick should have been suspended for at least 3 races for ruining several other cars and potential race fixing, and Kenseth needs to be suspended for at least a race after what he did. Hell, I would give Kenseth 2 races considering he plowed Logano into the wall while at Kansas Logano let off the throttle.

But then that is asking too much for NASCAR...

 

[Blitz24]

Don't think Logano deserves to be suspended, but he was playing cute with the restarts the past two races. That's going to get the other drivers irritated even if they didn't have a prior issue with him. Playing "teammate dances" in the front of the field will only do further harm. If Logano and Brad didn't do that entire stunt, both of them might have finished in the top 10.

 

[Carbonox]

Imagine if they had the finale at a short track. That's what needs to happen

The Busch Series once finished the year at Hickory. I think Joe Nemechek won the title by half a car length
