It was dangerous for Kyle to bump an empty car with people around...end of story but was it wrong for their tempers to flare? I don't think so. I was glad that no points were deducted, $25,000 to them is a lot less painful than taking away 5, 10 or 15 points! :-) Yes, it was a long race and I guess being there is much different than watching it on TV.

There seems to be at least one of these every one-two seasons. The drivers change but the premise is the same - Driver A allegedly caused a big wreck on purpose and Driver B retaliates. Sometimes I wonder that these guys are adults. But the outcome is the same... a boatload of publicity for both drivers regarding the feud and a lot of boring commentary for the rest of the season every time one of them gets even remotely close to the other during race.
