Have At It Boys - Richmond

    Anyone just watch that Saturday Night NASCAR race in Richmond.  After being told by NASCAR last year to "Have at it boys" Newman and Montoya did just that tonight.  After Newman clipped the back of Montoya in what looked like just good ol' hard racing, Montoya came back with an intentional take out of Newman just a few laps later.

    I'm all for good hard racing and I like NASCAR letting them have at it, but I think that some action needs to be taken by NASCAR in this case.  It's one thing to race aggressively and if contact happens while you are pushing it, that's great...and thats racing - but intentionally take someone out for no other purpose other than revenge... that aint racing!

    What do you think?

    Fun race to watch. a little bumping is cool, but intentionally putting another car in the wall, we don't need temper tantrums boys.

    Yep, think its great they let 'em have at it and race aggressively.  But agree with both of you that you can't intentionally put someone in the wall.  Too many other people get hurt too.

    Boys Have At It!!!

    After the race, it kinda looked like Ryan Newman was hunting for Juan Pablo. And, then they showed a quick shot of JPM jumping onto a golf cart to boogie outta there.
    I wonder if Newman finally caught up to him?

    Juan Pablo Montoya is always a wreak waiting to happen, the only race he ever won he wreaked his then teammate Marcus Ambrose to do it.
