Vince McMahon would be proud...

of the show those NASCAR boys put on after the race..

here is a pic of Brad Keselowski after Jeff Gordon got done discussing an on track incident on pit road:

for the record: video shows that Jeff drove into Brad, but Jeff didn't think so..

That's the most perplexing thing to me, is that Gordon clearly drove down into Keselowski who didn't move up or down track until Gordon ran into him. Seems like Gordon tried to intimidate him and it just bit him in his ass, and after last race he was just looking for a reason stir up some E36 M3.

Meh...fights happen in other sports too and it's not made into a huge deal...bench clearing brawls in baseball, pre-game fights in football. Hell, hockey...which I'm a huge fan...used to allow bench clearing brawls.

I think NASCAR needs to step in and reel it in some, as it's getting ridiculous, but I think it's made into a bigger deal than it needs to be.

... and the new chase format is a workin'

I think the irritation came more from Brad trying to go 3 wide into the corner. That probably wouldn't have ended well for any of them.

Nice to see Jeffy land a punch or two. Harvick was hilarious there. I saw him shove Brad and start it all before the TV guys noticed, and I was laughing like a madman.

It seems like year after year NASCAR gets closer and closer to WWE style entertainment. Says a lot for the types of crowds they draw I guess.

meanwhile everybody was watching the football game....

I think we are one step away from this:

Colt Cobra would approve.

I thought Brad's move on the restart was a bit too aggressive. Lately he's had altercations with Kenseth, Stewart, Hamlin, Harvick, and Gordon. He's already on probation, and I don't think he's going to have a lot of friends in these last few races.

Brad saw a hole and went for it. Doing what he is paid for. Being aggressive wins races.
One commentator likened him to Earnhardt Senior.

Jeff Gordon is a cry baby. He made the mistake by giving Brad an opening.

Jeff's spotter is probably the one that failed.. had that tire not gotten cut down by that stupid part of the car that flares out in front of the rear wheels and if Brad had won the race, that would have been hailed as the gutsiest move of the race by everyone including Jeff..

not a fan of Brad- at all- but he did nothing wrong, and even Kevin Harvick seems to agree with that based on what he said in an on camera interview after he started the melee and walked away..

Harvick's shove in the back was humorous, but he does have a point, at some point if you run your mouth enough you need to back it up. I just wish Jimmy Spencer were still driving, I'd like to see him and bk "have a discussion" ala Kurt Busch-Spencer.

they still run nascar? like, on TV and everything? why?
