Nascar doesn't see it as a Pay Back....... ?????
•NASCAR didn't see Kenseth-Vickers wreck as retaliation: NASCAR officials didn't see Sunday's incident at Phoenix International Raceway between Brian Vickers and Matt Kenseth as retaliation. Kenseth disagreed. "Had we felt it was more than a racing incident we would have reacted,'' Sprint Cup Series director John Darby said afterwards. Kenseth called NASCAR out for not responding to Vickers wrecking him the way the governing body responded to Kyle Busch deliberately running Ron Hornaday Jr. into the wall during the Truck Series race last week at Texas Motor Speedway. "Obviously, it is retaliation for retaliation, I guess,'' said Kenseth, whose championship hopes basically ended three weeks ago when he and Vickers got into several on track exchanges at Martinsville Speedway. "I was out of brakes and I was up on everybody and I saw him coming and I lifted at least 10 car lengths before where I normally would lift, and he drove in there at 165 miles per hour and cleaned us out.'' Kenseth reminded NASCAR that Vickers vowed payback after Martinsville. "If NASCAR is going to start parking people for being mad 25 seconds after you wreck and wrecking somebody, then you would park somebody for that,'' he said. "It was so premeditated. It just surprises me that [NASCAR] didn't do anything. I am disappointed, but I expected it.'' Vickers told reporters that he didn't intentionally run over Kenseth, and that he was surprised when Kenseth lifted. "If he wants to doubt us, that's fine," Vickers said. "He wrecked me at Martinsville, he got wrecked here, but it actually wasn't (payback). I'm not saying I wasn't going to pay him back, but I'm just saying that wasn't it."(ESPN)(11-14-2011)Last edited by Trash Inturn4; 11-14-2011, 09:33 AM.Doug Wachtel

Trash, I'll agree with your ?????? marks. How could they make that statement? I couldn't see it as anything but payback. BTW, the old man (Buzzy) is on quite the row now.
Gary, I don't think it will hurt him with sponsor, etc. for now. He doesn't have the reputation for consistently wrecking guys. But in the politically correct world of Nascar, it could. Thought I might see you last week but guess you didn't make the trip up. Probably catch you at a track next year. Happy Holidays.My photo site: http://www.rewingphotos.com

Hey Bob, doing much better. Had a reaction to some tuna but it's off the diet now and I'm feeling much better. Been pretty busy. Looking forward to a couple weeks off after Thanksgiving.My photo site: http://www.rewingphotos.com

Buzzie has raced 21 times this year. He has 8-wins, and 9-2nd places. We set a goal of 10 wins at the beginning of the season, so now all he has to do is win at BRP on the 26th, and Dec 10th at Eastbay, which are both DAVID REUTIMANN FOUNDATION races, wouldn't that be sweet. David will be running both shows too, so he will have to 'whip up on the kid'.Originally posted by Winger View PostTrash, I'll agree with your ?????? marks. How could they make that statement?
