No penalties for Waltrip or Hamlin???
NASCAR said yesterday at the testing session at Lowe's that no additional penalties will be handed out for Hamlin or Waltrip.
And NASCAR wonders why people think they are not consistent? There was a precedent with both of these acts to hand down penalties, yet none are given. In 2004, Earnhardt Jr. was penalized 25 points and $10,000 for intentionally bringing out the caution, he purposely spun so he wouldn't go a lap down....fast forward to Richmond, Hamlin stops on the track and brings out the caution. NASCAR believes it was an intentional move, but yet isn't going to hand out further penalties for it?
Now, on to the Waltrip one. NASCAR believes that he intentionally took Mears out, but thinks the hit Waltrip took in points because of being parked was severe enough? He fell one spot on the standings for taking his anger out on the track and that was severe enough? Why was Kurt Busch fined for intentionally taking out Robby Gordon in the 2002 All-Star race? Both moves were "intentional" in NASCAR's eyes and in the fans eyes, so why the different reactions from NASCAR?
Is this another case of who you drive for or who you are? Is NASCAR playing favorites again? It sure seems like it, but of course there's no proof, other than there is precedent for them to hand down penalties, which they already said they won't do.
If it had been Kevin Harvick or Robby Gordon instead of Michael Waltrip, it's pretty safe to say additional penalties would have been handed down citing the precedent as the reason.
Your thoughts?

aggie I KNOW your dreamin' about Cup at Hickory...Now North Wilkesboro I could see, God I loved that track and it's Victory Lane! I snuck into the track like 5 years ago to recharge my "MoJo"...walked down Pit Road, Sat in the Granstands, Climbed the flagstand to remember some great moments in Nascar...My nephew said I should take the "North Wilkesboro Speedway" sign from the flagstand...I said "Son, THAT would be like walking into a Church and stealing the Cross off the alter!"...Now I see from the Save the Speeway http://www.savethespeedway.net/ That some peckerhead did just that!

Saturday night racing in Richmond has
always offered some excitement.
Good post, I agree with you. Jr. and Kyle
will work things out between them. Kyle
said, he had already called Jr but there
was no answer, he left a message. When
things cool down, they will talk and hope-
fully things will work out between them. To
me, it was just hard racing.
Kyle did make a serious mistake when he
confronted Steve Wallace. This should never
have happened, if he can dish it out, then
he should be able to take it. Now, don't
get me wrong, I have always liked Kyle but
he has an arrogant attutide especially when
being interviewed and this doesn't help
matters with his aggressive driving style.
There is no doubt about it, this kid can
drive a race car, he's good.
On some fans calling in death threats
against Kyle is ridiculous and I'm sure
Jr. didn't appreciate it. Jr. has a lot
of respect for everyone and he did his in-
terview with class.
We have to remember there are a lot of
other good drivers out there on the race
track also.

Saturday night racing in Richmond has always offered some excitement. This does not mean that it is clean racing. It gets downright dirty as it was this past Saturday night. JR and Kyle will work out their differences of opinion, I'll wait to see what the reaction is when that comes. Kyle made a serious mistake when he confronted Steve Wallace...this is the blunder that will come home to haunt him in a future race. Kyle may have shown a lapse in judgement Saturday night, but that can be remedied with the manner in which his fellow racers view his tactics and racing style. He is never alone on the race track!

"What I think is Kyle Busch ran out of talent. Junior left him room and Kyle turned him around. Kyle said it was good, hard racing, but good, hard racing doesn’t require you to spin somebody out."- Ryan Newman
finally somebody said it.
no sense fining kyle for lacking talent.
Posted by: Kevin | May 8, 2008 12:52:48 AM
anyway, i think it's time to stop milking the last race to keep nascar's p.r. hype going, and move on with the racing...
or, maybe not.

that event just reaks class, the hats suits ect, you dont see many of us tanned ethenic guys there except maybe cleaning the stables lol
to me of all people its a cool event
peta that is like KYB being a PITA pain in the ass??
Posted by: aggie | May 7, 2008 5:15:34 PM
Aggie: You were talking about the Derby, PETA has come down on us here in KY about that poor horse. They are blaming the jockey saying he whipped her to many times causing her to run to hard, now they don't want whips in the races and they don't want the horses to race on the dirt. That is the first horse that has been euthanized on the track in 134 years and now all this happens. It was bad enough to see it but to have them drag it out makes it worse.

K2 AND f5
havent you gusy being this for while about the lower tier series?/
The two full-time rides needing substitutes in the Sprint Cup Series have made decisions which signal a possible end to the “young gun” craze. Haas CNC Racing has tapped 52-year-old Ken Schrader to run for the team at Darlington, hoping the veteran can safely qualify the car in the field; the same goes for Chip Ganassi Racing, who selected 50-year-old Sterling Marlin to keep the seat warm for Dario Franchitti. As we discussed last week in this space, Marlin drove the Ganassi car from 1998-2005 before becoming a victim of the “young gun” movement himself; Coors Light bumped him out in favor of the youthful, inexperienced David Stremme.
Of course, now Stremme is gone – along with Coors Light – and Ganassi is joining other owners in realizing the youth movement has begun to stall out a bit. The highest ranking driver running the Nationwide Series full-time is 43-year-old Mike Bliss; over in the Truck Series, 49-year-old Ron Hornaday is beating 49-year-old Rick Crawford in the battle for the series title. For a myriad of reasons, you’re just not seeing young talent work its way up through the ranks of NASCAR’s top three series like they should anymore; and because of that, there may be an opening for guys like Schrader and Marlin to stick around for another year or two – and in the right place at the right time, perhaps for someone like Bliss or even Todd Bodine to get one final shot at the Cup Series.
i think you could add Johnny benson to this list also

where yah been out counting hillary votes ??
goats are well...their goats
k2 your team has its work cut out as the rcr cars look strong and 07 well its his type of race loose and fast.....that wall is going to see lots of action from some of these guys who cant handle a car CANT WAIT
He needs 2 things:
1) get the hell out of the car asap
2) Learn to run your company.
k2 this one thing that i think the new guys like smoke even jb will do and that is not hang around well past their racing days as sub top 12-15 cars. In the future most of the newer guys will be gone
by 40 they just make so much cash today
99 is at what 6 mil salary?? 5-6 years of that and u should be ok iam sure plus all the other $$$$$$$$
MW run his co?? good one, ok ups is on the move iam sure, id be from that loser!! so iam curious who he has lined up to replace the UPS cash?? which is headed to frf or smoke at hass lol
and iam sure napa is saying enough of this bs already
did u listen close on that twin show hesaid something stupid about a sponser
that team isnt going to around around that partner of his must need some HEAVY write off's
MW has ADHD and how the guy has lasted this long is just?????? to me
RED bull is the #2 toyota team, MWR i just cant see lasting into 09 2010
if these gusy want to race get nascar to start a geezer series like golf did!! oh they have trucks lol whats with that your feader system leader are what 45-48?? years old??
the whole feeder system is just f ked in nascar it not even funny
Posted by: aggie | May 7, 2008 2:42:22 PM
Dave,
Good list you compiled on MW.
He needs 2 things:
1) get the hell out of the car
2) Learn to run your company.
He is trying to catch DJ with getting rid of Crew Chiefs, its always there fault..
Havent asked you Aggie lately? How are you and the goats doing??
DW advising anyone on how to handle the media? Thats freaking priceless

How ironic that the son of the Intimidator was, in turn, intimidated out of a win at Richmond by a more aggressive driver; funny how the gene pool works, doesn’t it? Like Father, not always like son …
hmmmm, in the race i saw Kyle buschs car made contact and spun out jr car that he could not get pass.
Kyle has wrecked the leading driver in 2 consecutive winning races. Kyle reached the limits of his talent and wrecked another car. we see this every other week
Posted by: Kevin | May 7, 2008 1:56:39 PM
No No No DW, don't talk to Kyle, ya idiot, bad idea.
This is what NASCAR needs, a Bad Boy. Spout off at the mouth, tick people off, tick the JN off, get some attitude, which will: give people someone to hate, which will: bring in the crowds, up the TV attendance, and we'll all tune in to see who will spin Kyle or who he'll spin.
Here's a guy who apparently all of a sudden has enormous talent, says what's on his mind, and gets the drama thing going. This is what every sports venue wants: The Perfect Storm.
DW, let Gibbs deal with any issues with Kyle that they need dealing with. It appears he's doing just fine in the area that matters, he's winning. What is it seven races in the three series so far for 2008? If I were the other drivers I'd be thinking, whatever he's got I want it.

cut paste ok not mine
Top Ten Security Precautions Kyle Busch Took to Get Out of Richmond Alive
10. Pretended to befriend Brad Keselowski, gave him his sun goggles to wear, slapped him on the back, and sent him on his way.
9. Dressed up as a Budweiser guy removing empty kegs from the track.
8. Disguised himself as a rabid Junior fan running around asking… “Where is that punk SOB?!”
7. Hired Jimmy Spencer to be his escort out of there.
6. Walked so close to Mike Helton that he blended into his shadow and no one saw him.
5. Dressed in drag and convinced Michael Waltrip to take him home. Boy, was Michael surprised later!
4. Hung out at “Diggers’ place” till everyone had given up looking for him.
3. Made a boat and floated out on Denny Hamlin’s tears.
2. Hid in the No. 9 hauler, as no respectable Junior fan now goes near it.
1. Put on some rubber ears and disguised himself as his big brother.

Posted by: aggie | May 7, 2008 1:29:14 PM
The f**k's driving style has made him plenty of enemies.
aggie, quit referencing his age please sir.
The mother f***er has been in Cup for 5 years. He should be "polished" off by now.
Now.......I have my senses back WTF was I thinking?????
If a race came down the 18, 11, and 48 cars................................
I retract my emotional comment Monday. I would either
a) flip to women's golf
b) go fishing with my other half in 8 foot seas
c) eat horse $hit
before pulling for any of the punks

"one thing iam sure you have noticed is these ole guys mw dj kp ect in their runs its always with some young hot shot.....they can only hold back their frustration so long" aagie
Good point. Petty vs. Hamlin, Spencer vs. Ku Busch, Waltrip vs. Mears, DJ vs. Ky Busch. Sure there's plenty more I am too young and dumb to recall. I never thought about it like that.
"What can I say but that the guy's got staying power. " jon2
All the folks on www.gaytona.com just went wild with that revelation. They love him as it is. LOL!!
Posted by: Gretchen | May 7, 2008 12:36:40 PM
Here is a quote from Darrell Waltrip from foxsports.com:
"The only problem that Kyle has right now is that he needs a good PR person telling him what to say. It's not his driving that is making so many enemies, it's his interview skills that are killing him. They are terrible. I am going to talk to him this weekend in Darlington and see if I can explain to him how to handle himself in front of the media."
Can you imagine DW telling KyB how to handle the media?

PLEASE NOTe, THIS is NOT A DIG AT JR OK
Did You Notice? … As I spoke about in detail on Monday, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has not won a points-paying race at five of the next six tracks we visit. How ironic that the son of the Intimidator was, in turn, intimidated out of a win at Richmond by a more aggressive driver; funny how the gene pool works, doesn’t it? Like Father, not always like son …
Posted by: aggie | May 7, 2008 12:26:28 PM
Hamlin's was worse. he was below track speed for 3 laps. had plenty of time and opportunities to pull over but did not
him staying out and drawing a cuation not only benefited himself but his teammate as well allowing kb to close a 2 second gap at a critical point in the race
the question is was it Hamlins fault or Nascars for not blackflagging him

Death threats over a car race. What's going on in this world? Scares me.

Dave,
What's Mikey had something like 700+ starts in a sport that can get really emotional. Bangin and bumpin and cussing and sometimes fistcuffs.
That's Racin.
Posted by: Jon2 | May 7, 2008 10:32:40 AM
Damn dave. Mickey's quite the bitch huh?
Posted by: Gretchen | May 7, 2008 10:17:12 AM
Hamlin is a p.o.s. punk. Always has been, always will be. Ask all of those crew members that have been canned because of his prima dona whiney a$$ b.s. over the last three years. I even find it hard to believe that he actually did something to help someone other than himself...wow.
Waltrip has just lost it. Start jogging again dude. Quickly. RH chewed him out? LOL. HMS can more than afford to fix that car. I'd be crying a little if he'd done it to say the 21 car or RG. But not for tearing up an HMS car. Cry ME a river.
And lastly Kyle Busch is an immensely talented and completely classless piece of shit. But whoever has threatened him has clearly lost their f***ing minds.
Get the f**k back to the trailers folks, unload the shotguns, pop a PBR, pull out the dueling banjos, and chill the f**k out. It's a god***n car race.
Damn. Starting to act like soccer fans. WELL, NOT REALLY. Soccer fans just beat the snot out of each other and the players too. NASCAR fans hide like cowards behind anonymous phone calls. LOL!!
Posted by: gretchen | May 7, 2008 10:13:59 AM
J2, "KurtB has had anger management issues during his CUP career and NASCAR has to send him a severe message each time he crosses the line. Mikey doesn't and this instance was an isolated event."
I don't think this was an "isolated event." Here's a list of Mikey's "isolated events":
· 1992, Martinsville: After making contact with Dave Marcis, Waltrip punches Marcis in the mouth. NASCAR fines Waltrip $500.
· 1995, Michigan: After racing hard with Lake Speed in the closing laps and receiving the worst end of it; Waltrip approaches Speed on pit road and throws two punches. Waltrip was fined $10,000.
· 2002, Rockingham: In a then-Busch Series race, Waltrip and Green tangle while racing with the lead with two laps to go. This led to a series of incidents the following three seasons.
· 2003, Bristol: Green and Waltrip tangle again. Waltrip finishes 42nd. Rusty Wallace is a victim of the ongoing feud.
