I know one time this year,someone got a penatly for not having control of tire .no hand on it in pits . also saw a water bottle splash on track out of Carls car on back strait
There isn't a penalty assesed if another car knocks your tire out on to pit road which is what happened in this instance.
There are no penalties for Jimmy anyhow, OR gordon. What other driver could shove and try to hit another driver on the track??? Thats all that big Chevy and Hendrick money!!
As far as Gordon hitting Burton and not doing any damage, I disagree. I think he did enough to make his point without actually hurting Burton. Could he have walked straight up and cold cocked him, maybe knocking loose some teeth, or breaking his nose, and perhaps his own hand? Sure, but that is not what sane people do. I think from Burton's words afterward, he knew he was wrong, and he got Gordon's message, all without having to go to court.
NASCAR has fined Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 car in the Sprint Cup Series, $25,000 and placed him on probation until Dec. 31 for his actions during this past Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway.
So a driver can shove another driver with the possibility of causing bodily injury but you cannot flick the bird at a NASCAR official. Of course I joked around that Kyle was actually trying to keep the sun out of his eyes.LOL
No, I am not a Kyle Busch, Jimmy Johnson or Jeff Gordon fan.
That's because that's what the racing analysts told you.......................
It has nothing to do with the analysts, they didn't make the rule up just to justify Nascars decision. If you watch the incident it is obvious that the 98, Paul Menard, knocks the tire out of the tire carriers hands as he is attempting to carry the tire around the back of the car.
