    I won't get into the details, as I think NASCAR fans are well aware of the events of yesterday.

    Question is, was Joey wrong for spinning Kenseth. Personally I saw it as good hard racing. Kenseth blocked Joey several times, and Joey was obviously the faster the two. The third time, Joey said &#$& it! and gave him a little tap from behind.

    Given you are posing a question it would be helpful if you posted a YouTube video of the actual incident.

    To those who don't know the whole scoop - Joey Logano is already in the next round of the Chase because he won last week. So from that aspect he had nothing to "gain" from a win. Kenseth, on the other hand, needed a win to make it to the next round.

    Some would say Logano shouldn't have raced so hard.

    I say you race to win within the confines of the rules. Period. :grin

    A quote often misattributed to Genghis Khan seems quite fitting:

    "It is not enough that I succeed. All others must fail."

    Worked for him, though.

    Well I guess Joey paid the price, regardless of whether he was right or wrong. Kenseth made sue of that.
