AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Guys, put yourself in Jeff Gordons shoes, what would you have done? Easy to sit back and say kick him out but have you ever raced and been in a spot to gain some points but only to be punted on the last lap? You don't just punt a guy out of his spot. On the local level the guy who spun you out would have been put to the back of the pack even if it was the last lap, he was not going to get 3rd place pay. Sorry but cranking a guy around and punting him is not racing, sure rubbing is racing but spinning a guy out is not acceptable. Jeff will probably see points taken away but you will not see Jeff sit out like Jimmy Spencer did. Spencer hit a guy who was still strapped into a car and hit the guy in the face. I for one am glad Jeff stood his ground, he shouldn't have to take it and I respect Matt for saying he was at fault and was sorry. Now for that loser in victory lane, hungry or not for a win you don't do that! He's got one coming that is for sure. Don't care for those Busch boys and their attitudes!!

Chrud Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? No one should be suspended or fined for anything. Sunday is what you'll get with short-track racing. Saying anyone should be penalized for any actions this weekend is ridiculous. Any of those bumps could have hurt anyone. What about Gordon's hit on Truex? That was in front of the whole field and should have been avoided. He was a lap car. You'd think a 4X Champ would be able to get around him without wrecking him. Everyone else got around the 1 on the outside, why couldn't the 24? The only thing that will happen from this weekend is a retarded penalty against Truex.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? I think Gordon's hit on Truex was more acceptable than Stewart's hit, Stewart pretty much plowed him out of his way and moved on. All I know is if NASCAR was like Bristol each week, we'd all be able to get jobs in North Carolina hanging new bodies on cars. Man do those fabricators have their work cut out for them this week!

SuperMn106 Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Kenseth knew it was coming. EVERYONE does that at bristol. Not just bush, i am an Earnhardt fan i dont remember everyone jumping on him like they did kurt. I would have liked to see Gordon actually talk to matt about it and maybe hear an apology, like everyone says at bristol you leave your emotions at the door. Kurt has a bad reputation and thats why everyone is jumping all over him. Earnhardt has done it, gordon has done it, harvick has done it, harvick said he woulda done it if he got close enough. But since it was bush people are all over him. Like it or not thats racing AT BRISTOL. it is a one groove track. Gordon and Spencer were BOTH aggressive physical contact. Should get the same discipline, if not thats special treatment. kenseth could have fell, tripped over someone and hit his head on the cement. I know he didnt but it was a possibility.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Busch is no Dale Earnhardt and never will be one! He hurt his image way back when he called some of the season veterans "has beens" or never was's" That was all I needed to realize this guy is trouble and a loud mouth. Their was a reason Jack let him go and even changed the number to 26 from 97! The kid is trouble and I wouldn't want my kids to follow his as their favorite driver. You should hear his mouth on the radio, f this, f that, don't need a punk like this in NASCAR. Thousands of others who deserve a chance, maybe he should go back to stocking shelves at the grocery store!! I don't aggree on Jeff shove people compared to Jimmy's fist to face deal!! Jeff's wasn't as bad and it was a surprise to see him act this way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkinslinger Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? [ QUOTE ] The suspension needs to be one race. Jimmy Spencer reached in the car and smacked someone (i think kurt bush) what is the difference? Just becasue you are a great driver and 4 time champ does not excuse you to do that. "Actions detrimental to stock car racing" fine and hopefully suspension. Nascar need to be more consistent with the calls. Punk, Watch and Nascar show and you will see the Gordon interview. Why would he say he hit him when he didnt? If you watch the replay Gordon gives the "Bristol Bump". am i mad at the bump? nope just racing. Did Kenseth screw up? yep and he admitted it. [/ QUOTE ] He never touched him!!!!! God I love cranking you guys up!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? For the love of god...FOLKS how many times do Matt and I have to say it... IT'S BRISTOL !! If you think this one was a temper tantrum wait until Martinsville... I'll gurantee you before Kenseth and Gordon left the track they were squared away with this deal.... Jeff was hot, and Kenseth himself even said he should have waited to talk to Jeff, and he should have known better... and Jeff even said it during his interview what he did was unacceptable,, what more can be said....

snapper Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? This isn't racing...its bumping and rubbing! I find it funny how these guys (for the most part) passed each other on the inside and outside all race long...come last lap they have to shove the car in front of them out of the way! Gordon's hit on Truex was just as bad as Kenseth's hit on Gordon and Busch's bump on Kenseth and blah blah blah.... They all did it at one point...none of them have any right to say or complain about anything PERIOD! As far as the push after the race....Gordon should get some kind of fine or suspension IMO. I remember only a few years back when Harvick had to sit out a Cup race for spinning someone in a Truck race. I honestly believe physically touching someone off the track is far worst than bumping someone on the track. Oh well...still glad to see the Hendrick boys have rough week...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Good to hear from ya again DelDeer. You won't have to defend the 48 when he is out of a 500 lap race on lap 1. I was disappointed that no one ran over Kirk Busch while he was making a snow angle.

VermontHunter Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? Anyone happen to watch "Inside Nascar" last night ??? If you did I bet it was a shocker.... After seeing the replays again,,, guess what Jeff Gordon never touched Matt Kenseth.... Waltrip, Schader, and Vickers couldn't believe it.... ,, Vickers even said" Jeff said he tapped Matt" and Schader came back to say "well video doesn't lie".... So they looked at the replay again and sure enough Jeff was even close to hitting Matt's car.... This is all still a MUTE POINT to me, but just thought I would mention it.... When you race at Bristol you LIVE by the bump, or you CRASH by the bump,, either way it's going to happen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? It's Bristol. There is bumping every lap.

Guest AllArmyoutdoorsSD Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? I love short track racing, if you are going slower than the car behind you, you got two choices and not a lot of time to make them, MOVE or GET moved...I like Truex, b ut he needed to get out oof the way. If you are a lap down and the leaders are behind you.....RESPECT. Stewert just played a little chess with that shove, think about it, how far off the leader was he? A caution closes the gap. I don't think that Kenseth was trying to wreck Gordon, I think Gordon was too focused on moving forward and couldn't hold the car. Did I mention I love short track races!! Can't wait for Martinsville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AllArmyoutdoorsSD Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Re: Truex get the boot from Stewart?? OH Yeah,, one more thought... The purpose of racing is to win, if you can't win; FINISH as close to the winner as possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
