Kevin Conway released a statement Monday evening: "I don't mind stiff competition, but I want to make sure the hard facts are told.

Really, is this an appropriate time to be making sponsor plugs, I thought this was a serious situation that Kevin went to the police about?

First and foremost, I love being a part of NASCAR and have worked very hard to earn the privilege of competing in the Sprint Cup Series.

Worked, earned....debatable at best.

On Friday night, Robby Gordon, who has a long history of issues in NASCAR decided to ambush me in the garage area at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, completely unprovoked.

RG's past is just that, past issues. How exactly do you get ambushed in a Cup garage, its almost too fan friendly at time and most sources initially said nobody saw the situation.


Robby even confronted Joe Nemechek, my car owner, on pit road during Cup Series qualifying shoving him and telling him that he was looking for me and going to assault me.

So wait, he assaulted Joe , threatened to harm you and you still decided to go around him. Seems like if that was the case you would either avoid that person, or confront them. So why go over to the Cup garage unless it was for the confrontation?

We have many witnesses including a crew chief that signed a police report documenting the truth of his physical attack on me.

So wait, now other people saw this and its automatically the "truth" just because its signed on a police report. If its legally documented, why not name this person directly?

Situations like this are not good for our sport. It's one thing if we were racing each other and I wrecked him or he wrecked me, that's an entirely different situation. I

Sure, both RG and Joe need his stuff torn up and Nascar just thrives on intentional wrecking, clearly this would have been a better route.

It's very unfortunate that he chose to physically attack me to address his rage. Our fans, sponsors and NASCAR expect and deserve more from our competitors than this bullish, illegal behavior that was displayed by Robby against me."

Bullish and Illegal are both his opinion, but in his defense, Extenze has a pretty "firm grasp" on "hard facts" when it comes to things being illegal. The did have that 6 million dollar out of court settlement. Plus already have pending issues with RGM and Front Row.

all good. thanks!
Thanks dude - came thru loud and clear...
wish it was spun more evenly - KC totally came off the "victim"
Conway interview....I guess his dignity is only worth $27k...
Hmmm not paying $700 K to race is not related to racing? lol

Interesting distinction...
Interesting backtrack in the interview...he didn't say he shoved Nemechek in the interview....but he did in the prepared statement...
I thought he said that at the very beginning of the interview? Either way...Kevin needs to try his Sponsor out to see if it can also help him grow a pair lmao.
Classic Chocolate Myers long winded hedge and haw/ on the fence and not taking a stance either way...lol..that guy drives me nuts...
Conway needs to be an ex-race car driver.
Never was one to begin with.......
