And again, I need to ask why Hendrick wasn't penalized for Kahne and Junior's inexplicable slide down the leaderboard late in the race.

More importantly, could I look any smarter?

Is this a joke?

This is ridiculous.

This could be a week that destroys NASCAR. This is stupid. If Jeff Gordon wins The Chase, this sport is over.

I think everyone needs to get together and pray that Dale Jr. wins The Chase. It's the only thing that can save us now.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I realize that "many factors worked against Gordon", but he also had two very big factors (Junior and Kahne) slide down the leaderboard - inexplicably - late in that race.

Nobody seems to mention that.

Vickers defended his actions in a commentary Friday in USA Today. Vickers wrote:

“My interpretation of the rules is as follows: I'm driving the car and can drive it how I like — pit when we like, pass whomever I want and let whomever I want to pass me, whenever I want to,’’ Vickers wrote. “If those are not the rules, and if my team and I are not in control of our car and our race, and if we have to race how we're told and pit when we are told, then someone needs to clarify that and define the rules as such, including who would tell us.

“There is currently no rule that states you can't help a teammate or give a teammate your position if you choose. If we as competitors and fans of this amazing sport would like to have that rule, then let's write it. Maybe something to the effect of: "No two or more cars of the same owner may take any action that supports or helps his teammate by any means." Now before the pendulum swings in that direction, it is important to acknowledge that this is a very slippery slope and would be extremely difficult to police.’’

Truex has to be pissed.

Neither he nor his team did anything wrong and they are left out while Gordon gets put in.

NASCAR is a joke.

I'm declaring a victory without research.

Good Lord they just pussified NASCAR with this one. So you can not take a driver out to help yourself or a teammate. Fucking Dale Sr is turning in his grave. Most of the old time drivers would never have won a race or championship with this kinda shit. Bullshit anyone in favor of this needs to turn in their man-card and put on some lace panties and high heels.
