Ya, but WTF Fly? Burton & Gordon mix it up in front of cameras, no penalties. Alleged incident involving Robby Gordon...no need for innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, season long probation.

Maybe he could learn the "If The Glove Don't Fit" plea from OJ.

I have been trying to find an email for NASCAR to give them a piece of my mind. Anyone know where I can send an email? I think we all should send a little note to support RG. This is CRAP

Don't forget the golden boys!!
Jeffie can go after someone on the track on tele in front of millions and this is not detrimental to the polished public image of fucking nascar.
Give me a break.
Not hard to see why Robby is running so much more TT the last few years.
He is a God in offroad.
Why not run where people actually respect you for what you are not what brown nosing ass kissing public image you can be molded into

if one driver gets probation for actions detrimental to the sport, should the other party involved get probation too? the easy answer is yes.

what if similar situations happened where 2 drivers fought, but instead of behind the scenes with few witnesses, it happened ON the track in front of the entire crowd AND everyone watching at home on TV? one would figure they would get similar punishments...

or the multiple times that drivers have "unintentionally" wrecked, and nearly killed, other drivers.. a slap on the wrist? one would figure that intentional wrecking in front of everyone would carry a stiffer penalty..

or do you protect a certain group of drivers that "can do no wrong" and hang others out to dry... it's all about the almighty dollar, isn't it?

come on Nascar, I thought you were better than that. I guess I was wrong.

posted that on facebook for them to read.. will it get through? doubt it, but I told them what I thought.. bring on the "JR RULES" comments..
