Maybe this year NASCAR will do something about little baby Kyle. Or better yet maybe Gibb's racing will come to their sense and send him packing his bags!!!!!!!

Respect is the key element both for drivers on the track and for fans in the stands. When drivers begin believing their own press and start believing they are above the rules because no one could possibly be as good or as talented as they are that is where the trouble begins. Many a rookie and veteran both learned to respect the 3 car. You didn't have to like him. But his ability and his accomplishments commanded your respect. I agree that Rubbin is racin and wreckin is wrong. But education is always worthwhile. Hey Randy, guess who is better than who depends on which driver you choose.

Was that rubbing? he knew he couldnt out drive him so he tried twice to wreck him. Maybe if Sellars was half the driver Logano is, He could have saved his car and won.

As far as Kyle Busch, anyone could win races all the time if they wanted to drive like an idiot like he does.

Sideswiping (rubbing) pretty much got a pass. The determination of "rubbing" vs. "wrecking", like every other possible rule infraction, is at NA$CAR's discretion. They will rule for whomever they believe a) gets NA$CAR the most exposure or b) gets NA$CAR the most revenue.

JOEY WRECKED PEYTON WHO WAS LEADING AT THE TIME AND WHEN CARL EDWARDS MADE HIS MOVE ON JIMMIE CARL WAS SMART ENOUGH TO NOT WRECK JIMMIE THAT IS DIFFERENCE FROM A PRO RACER AND A ROOKIE!! JOEY IS YOUNG HE WILL LEARN WHAT HE CAN DO AND WHAT HE CAN'T I'M SURE HE WILL NOT TRY THOSE MOVES THIS YEAR IN NASCAR...LET'S HOPE...THESE GUYS MIGHT NOT BE AS NICE TO JOEY AS PEYTON SELLERS WAS!!

That means no contact. Joey Logano did not have control of his racecar. He was wreckless, plain and simple. Disqualification was the correct call. It seems that young Joey has let all the hype go to his head. He needs to mature, both as a person and driver.
