OK
I still miss the Old Days before the PC World struck...
Now that there is funny.
I'm not condoning this situation and BE ASSURED NUTSCAR WILL TAKE ACTION THEY DEEM CORRECT.
NUTSCAR has screwed up the last Sport that was truly a Sport with changing the rules on an hourly basis (and by the minute at Talladega!) to the point of nobody knows up from down anymore.
I've been saying what Kyle Busch said long before He did.
You got to be consistent. I definitely feel NASCAR is very consistent in being inconsistent on calls," he said.
tooooo damn funny!!!
Gilliland, Patrick have contact at Martinsville UPDATE: #10-Danica Patrick says she was "repaying the favor" when she ran into #38-David Gilliland with less than 100 laps left in Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway. Patrick hit the wall to bring out the caution on Lap 158 after being hit from behind by Gilliland. Patrick was upset on the radio and said "no matter what I do, he is (in trouble)." Later during the race, she ran near Gilliland but didn't know it was him because he's in a special paint scheme. After passing Gilliland, she was told that was his car. Patrick responded: "Damn it, I was meaning to take him out. I'll have to next time." Patrick ran into the back of Gilliland about 250 laps after their first incident. Patrick's car was too damaged to continue. "He unnecessarily, I thought, took me out at the beginning of the race," Patrick told NASCAR Talk. "So I was just repaying the favor."(NBC Sports)(11-2-2015)
UPDATE: NASCAR will review Danica Patrick's actions against David Gilliland during Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway, a series official said. Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, said Monday on SiriusXM NASCAR that series officials did not meet with Patrick after the race, but the incident is something they'll "take a look at."(NBC Sports)(11-2-2015)
I think the best part is the look on Brad’s face;)
Martinsville penalties to be announced Tuesday: NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France indicated a harsh penalty could be in store for Matt Kenseth when officials release their decision later Tuesday. France, appearing on Sirius/XM Radio, said Kenseth went too far in intentionally wrecking Joey Logano at Martinsville Speedway as payback for an incident at Kansas Speedway last month. "We don't want that to happen again," France said. "We don't want any of our events to be altered in a way they shouldn't be. What we want to prevent happening is drivers or any participant in NASCAR to take matters into their own hands and begin to control the outcome of races beyond hard racing. When that happens, that's a very serious thing for us. And we'll be dealing with that."
Asked specifically about a possible suspension for Kenseth, France said all options were on the table and indicated some penalty could also be issued to Danica Patrick after she intentionally crashed into David Gilliland.
France said Martinsville was much different than the racing incident between Logano and Kenseth at Kansas, which he had termed "quintessential NASCAR." "That was an entirely different situation," he said. "What we're not going to do is take the style of NASCAR and parlay that into something where one driver believes the way to pay back somebody for something that happened is take matters into their own hands. Obviously, we won't be accepting that.The way to pay drivers back is to race them hard. That's NASCAR. But what happened on Sunday is not quite the way we'd like things to turn out."(11-5-2015)ï·¯
We don't want any of our events to be altered in a way they shouldn't be.in other words, we only want them altered in the way WE want them to be altered, like bogus yellow flags when it suits us and turning a blind eye to infractions that help the drivers WE want helped... etc etc etc
Penalty Announcement: Kenseth suspended 2 races; Patrick fined: Matt Kenseth , the driver of the #20 car, has been penalized for an infraction that occurred during the Nov. 1 race at Martinsville Speedway. This is a Behavioral Penalty (Sections 12.1, 12.8). Kenseth has been suspended from NASCAR through the completion of the next two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship events and placed on NASCAR probation for a six-month period following issuance of the penalty notice.
"Based upon our extensive review, we have concluded that the #20 car driver, who is no longer in the Chase, intentionally wrecked the #22 car driver, a Chase-eligible competitor who was leading the race at the time,"said Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. "The #20 car was nine laps down, and eliminated the #22 car's opportunity to continue to compete in the race.
"Additionally, we factored aspects of safety into our decision, and also the fact that the new Chase elimination format puts a premium on each and every race. These actions have no place in NASCAR."
Danica Patrick, the driver of the #10 car, has been penalized for an infraction that also took place during the Nov. 1 race at Martinsville Speedway. This is a Behavioral Penalty (Sections 12.1, 12.8). Patrick has been fined $50,000, assessed with the loss of 25 series championship driver points and placed on NASCAR probation through Dec. 31.(NASCAR)(11-3-2015)
UPDATE: Joe Gibbs Racing announces today that driver Matt Kenseth will appeal the penalty issued by NASCAR. The appeal will challenge the severity of the penalty which is believed to be inconsistent with previous penalties for similar on-track incidents. There will be no further comments from JGR personnel during the appeals process.(JGR)(11-3-2015)
Here you go Tudorfly- almost what you wanted.
Interesting- They pop Danica with $$$ but not Matt...
OK, now with JGR wanting an appeal will Matt be in the races until the appeal is complete?
Everybody STOP! and go back to the 48 team pulling an appeal a while back and the Penalty getting put on “Hold” until the appeal was complete...
JGR won’t want this to roll over to 2016 and possibly keeping Matt/20 Team from making the Daytona 500.
Stay tuned for the next Revolution of “AS THE CRANKSHAFT SPINS”
Just color me more conservative than the NASCAR officials. I’m surprised that Joe Gibbs appealed this. He’s a man of God and of fair play. Kenseth is not a fair play racer, in my view.
Mrs Happydog says you are very bad re: cartoon and that if she wasn’t in Maui she’d drive over and bring you cookies.
I think it would be very inconsistent of them to not let him start.
LOL, You mean like the type that Rowdy as referring to;)?
