“My goal is to keep Junior behind me,” Vickers said. “I went to block him. I beat him to the yellow line and then he just turned us. To wreck somebody intentionally like that in front of the entire field is really kind of dangerous. That’s my problem with it.”

Vickers also wondered why NASCAR did not penalize Earnhardt for aggressive driving, particularly since it issued a five-lap penalty to Jason Leffler in Saturday’s Nationwide Series race for a similar incident.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news?slug=ap-nascar-daytona500-accident&prov=ap&type=lgns

I don’t like Leffler but I thought NASCAR’s penalty on Saturday was the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen since I started watching stock car racing 50 years ago. Five laps? What’s up with that? I just didn’t see any “agressive driving.” What happened today was “just racing.” Vickers was dumb to try to block the 88 and the 88 should have made sure he was clear before he tried to get back into line.
