Intentional wrecking

In last Saturday night's race at Richmond, Juan Pablo Montoya attempted to move into a space that wasn't quite open yet, brushed Ryan Newman's front end as he was moving right, and subsequently wound up hitting the wall. After his pit stop to repair the damage, he intentionally spins Ryan Newman and puts him into the wall. I would be interested in hearing opinions on recommended actions, or lack thereof,by NASCAR in situations where one driver intentionally wrecks another.

"Have at it boys". Enough said.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

well if I remember correctly sometimes you dont have time to get out and measure that hole twice as Tonys commercial portrayed ----and Tim Leeming was always wedging that long plymouth in holes it wasnt designed to be in. I even screwed my little Chevelle in a few that was kinda skinny. I think I heard of Jeff making room also.

Some where someone made the statement RUBBIN IS RACIN and rattling his cage was cool too so n o w -------------define intentional please

I really don't have too much of a problem with the situation between Montoya and Newman - in fact, I saw tons ofsimilar racing on the dirt tracks before I ever laid eyes on a paved track. I suppose if I have any question mark in my mind, it is NASCAR's inconsistent reactions and decisions whenever an incident occurs. There have been other times in past races when a driver would be docked points and fined for similar actions. Personally, I agree with Tim's "have at it, boys", and when drivers have problems on the track, let them work it out. It'll get settled one way or another. If it gets too rough, the team owners will step in and settle it because torn up equipment eventully starts to run into some money. The main point I was trying to point out was NASCAR's inconsistencies.

Johnny makes a good point...Define Intentional. JPM to Ryan Newman, Intentional. Carl Edwards to Brad Keselowski, intentional. Park the offender for the rest of the race (forget the 5 lap thing), no exceptions. Nascar should have a pretty good idea what is rubbin' and what is intentional. Just do your job and enforce it. They are too inconsistent.

Just my humble view.
