Yup.

Love that someone put Logano in the fence for all the chickenshit driving Logano's been doing in the Chase. Though, in Logano's defense, I would have gone after my toughest opponents and tried to take them out on purpose, too. He's been trying those games for awhile and it finally occurred to him that those same people that he screwed over might still be on track to return the favor.

Oops.

Also nice to see that Kurt Busch can use Keselowski as the brake and get away with it- .... wait he didn't. Laughing

It still doesn't excuse the fact that it was a scumbag move to do but, that is what this chase manufactures. Telling the drivers to pretty much drive like they were goons.

Never thought I'd see the day where Kyle Busch is the voice of reason and Matt Kenseth is the gigantic piece of shit. Can easily tell that the people that are fine with Kenseth's move has never stepped foot inside of a racecar before.

That's half of it. The cars being as safe as they are being the other. If there as any serious risk of injury, that move wouldn't have happened either.

That's why all of the revenge wrecks happen at Martinsville, Bristol, New Hampshire, and Phoenix (but Harvick would still have junked the field at 'Dega). Speeds are never high enough to cause injury.

I mean, it's not like Joey Logano's never tried to put his competitors in danger before by throwing them into a wall at Auto Club, right?

Um, people have taken each other out like this many times without the Chase.

Problem is now there is extra incentive for someone to take someone out like that.

Logano's a chump, but I still don't think Kenseth had any right to go after him when he was out of the Chase and laps down while Logano was leading.

BREAKING NEWS: NASCAR suspends Matt Kenseth for the next two races. JGR will appeal.

by Lucstar88 Tue Nov 03, 2015 6:09 pm

Great call..

IF that was Junior or Gordon, everyone would be crying foul. But since its Logano, the (I win too much Jimmie hate). It's fine. If they didn't do anything, Homestead would've been a joke.
Danica also gets 25 points and 50K fine.

JGR will appeal

So, um, congrats to Erik Jones?

Hey NASCAR! where was this safety consciousness when Kez drove full bore through the garage last year at Charlotte?

Good ol NASCAR incosistency.

This. I agree with what NACAR put up to Kenseth, but yeah. They need to revisit history of drivers committing the same crime that Kenseth did.
