Jimmy Johnson tire addendum

You MUST be kidding!!!

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.

That punk ass Gordon being able to hit ANYONE hard enough "cold kock" him, "loosen his teath" Breaking his nose"?? Come on, there was no pipe or baseball bat anywhere near Gordon!! THAT is what Burton and the officials were laughing at. I couldn't believe Gordon had the guts to take his helmet off first. Remember when tough guy Gordon attacked Matt Kenseth?? He left his helmet on!! Gordon better watch out, he's gonna be mr tough guy to the wrong person. I dare say out of 40-45 drivers in cup, at LEAST 40 or more could beat on Gordon and knock his candy butt off! And all of Chevys money, and Hendricks money wont do him ANY good!! Also as far as someone "Knocking the tire out of the crew members hand" the crew member better get the tire out of the way!! That is what having the tire undre control means. Don't believe it? Let Kyle Buschs crew member get a tire knocked out of his hand. ALL of you AND NASCAR would penalize him at LEAST a couple laps!

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.

Without doing days of research, i posted the original as a joke because earlier this season another drivers jackman got KNOCKED DOWN by the car pitting behind his team and HIS car was penalized for "losing control of their tire", that whole zero tolerance thing................hey, on a lighter note Kyle didn't lose points for gigging the official LOL.

You are right Benny. But Johnson got penalized nothing. Love him or hate him, it was wrong, but hey, thats racing. When one team wrecks two other teams in the 100 lap truck race and no penality is wrong too!! ESPECIALLY when several people who was gonna wreck who days before the race. Hey, you cant tech the guy out, wreck him out right??
