I kept waiting for the cameras to pick it up, but right before the pass, there was no damage to Ambrose's car. And what difference would that have made? "Rubbing" cars out of the way is the NASCAR way. It also would have been during a yellow, which is NOT allowed. |
So what about Ambrose?

Right around the same time Ambrose's car got rear end damage and Robby was ahead of him. Within seconds of the yellow or right after. They did not have good camera angles and per NASCAR rules, you are scored from teh most recent scoring loop, which in Robby's case would have been 2nd. He was probably moved to 13th for two reasons, one being that he may have passed under the yellow |

Good for both Robby and Marcus - Doubtful that would have happened on his own. It clearly was a deal he had to work out to save face in lieu of additional suspensions. I wonder how many PR guys Robby has working for him. That is at least a 5 person job with lots of OT. |
point, right?
NASCAR's response was so minimal that it was an admission that they
screwed up.

How the hell does anyone take this guy seriously? He is in his own world, thinking he won the Busch race today. I hope NASCAR suspends him from ALL competition for a weekend. -- Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com |
He's the only guy in busch or cup (besides maybe Stewart) who has the
balls to stand up to the powers that be when they are wrong.
I loved it... that was pure Saturday night short track passion, I see
the exact same antics at the local tracks all the time, and enjoy it
there too.
I would much rather watch some bumping, whining and helmet tossing
than a bunch of careful corporate spokesman.
If every driver was like the new and improved Kurt Busch, nascar would
be dull dull dull...

Didn't watch the race, did you?

i would not be still bitter if only ambrose had been assessed a penalty too. gordon did not spin or slow down on his own. |
Gordon admits he firmly believes Ambrose didn't hit him on purpose, so why
would he be penalized, MORON? Go back to your usual trolling, you don't
have enough brains to do it this way.
