Jeff Gordon knocked Matt Kenseth out of the way to win the Chicagoland race. Matt did the same to Jeff a few races back. Is this justice or does NASCAR need to establish tougher rough driving rules?

I don't know if they ever will, but they should. These drivers will keep doing stupid things like that until either NASCAR sits them (or at least takes takes their win away) or they hurt or kill somebody. I have not been convinced that the incident between Gordon and Kenseth was accidental.

bullshit, Earnhardt drove harder then Gordon does today, so you can't say that. Gordon was how many car lengths back and caught up in under two laps just by taking a different lane, dream on. Even Kenseth said that he caught up fast and would have gone around him, regardless of if he ran out of gas or not. Kenseth had to check up b/c he was rolling out of the turns and is tires couldn't hold staying low, b/c casey mears was on the outside. Kenseth checked up, Gordon hit him and he spunout. It didn't matter if it was Kenseth or anyother driver, it would have happened the same way.
Even still, Kenseth derserved it from previously in the season. And I'm sure that yall were happy when Jeff got spun out before.
4championships and 75wins, if you think Gordon sucks, then go find a different sport.

I wouldn't be surprised if at one point they decide to take the team out of a race. It's getting to the point to where, it doesn't matter if they fine a team, or suspend a crew chief. Because the teams that usually get caught, usually have money, and win the race, so it really doesn't matter because they can pay the fine and move on.
If you guys saw parts of the drivers meeting Sunday, Mike Helton isn't playing around anymore. Stiff penalties are going to happen very soon if people keep messing around, whether it's cheating, or rough driving.
Would they take a win away. Doubt it.
Will the suspend a whole team from a race or more...probably.

I wish they would... once again little old pretty boy Jeff "I'm too good for everyone else" Gordon... cheated to WIN!! That's right, I said cheated... that's not racing what he did... that wasn't even rubbin'... that was just plan cheating... he saw he wasn't going to be able to pass Kenseth and just ran him off the track... WAY TO GO GORDON... THAT'S WHAT A BIG MAN WOULD DO... YOU CRYBABY!! Gee, wiz, not even Dale Earnhardt Sr. drove like that!! You need to grow up Gordon!!
It's doesn't matter anyway... because Dale Jr. going to beat Gordon out in the points standings... GO JR. GO #8!!

the only problems with it is that a million)NASCAR may should be large about spelling out what became and what wasn't a severe violation, 2)NASCAR isn't large about understanding what they're no longer good at (witness the Carl lengthy suspension for an "outsized" engine. He had NASCAR inspect because it were overheated, and he needed them to analyze to ascertain if it became nevertheless in spec. It grew to change into out to be "too enormous" by technique of a whopping .04%; no longer 4%--4 one-hundredths of one p.c.. once you've a gallon of water, .04% is about 3/4 of a teaspoon). Their penalty for one of those blatant violation--a $2 hundred,000 fantastic, and a 12 week suspension.) If i presumed for a second that they could be relied on to manage the consequences quite, i'd believe you. the way it stands now, no longer a probability.

The officials decide whether it was intentional or not!
They are supposed to be giving harsher penalties for this now and for cheating...but if it is just racing, no can do!
For the record: I am no fan of Gordons, but for Kenseth, you know what they say about payback!

gordon rocks.. haha so does nascar.. rough racing is the best its what makes it good. but also when your driver gets knocked out it sucks.. so yeah they should have penalties and suspensions from crude acts.. most of the time they just fined some money but that doenst really cut it.. the nascar board should have stricked laws in my opionion.

It's according to who it is. The top driver's will never get one taken away, but let some young no name do the same and see what happens.
