The Last Busch race and Truck race, Nascar PARKED Drivers Jeff Green and Ted Musgrave. Was this the right thing to do or would a lap or monetary penalty been enough?

I agree totally. . . . fines mean nothing to these guys. . .make them sit a race. . . lose sponsorship money. . lose points in the standings. Nascar also has to punish it's pretty boys and big names the same way however. Look at Dale Earnhardt senior when he was racing. They guy was a dirty racer. . . but nascar let it go! Rest in Peace Dale Sr. but you were a dirty racer who everyone hated until you died. Well. . not everyone but a lot of fellow racers knew he was dirty. Nascar is a bunch of hypocrites. They say they wont allow this type of stuff but it brings in action, excitement, the press, and hype which they crave! All I ask is they treat everyone equally! Kind of the way our courts treat everyone equally. For example. . . if a famous football star. . . say. . . like OJ simpson killed his ex wife and some guy she was with. . . . and there was a mountain of evidence proving it. . . well. . . the courts wouldn't give him any special treatment because he was famous now would they? Oh wait. . . bad example! HA HA HA>

Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart the place at a music in Madison Wisconsin some weeks in the past. there's some short tracks that Matt Kenseth is going right here, besides as Paul Menard. sometime's they're going to have some different Nascar drivers take part in those races. the Milwaukee Mile use to hold a Governor's Cup race experience. Matt Kenseth replaced into continuously the headline racer at that race. because of the financial woes with the Mile, they enable bypass of that race besides merely like the did with the Indy, and Nascar races.

Didn't hear about the Musgrave incident, but in Jeff Green's case I agree with it. Messing with the points leaders should be taboo, but there is a fine line there. Taking the car out of the race gets people's attention.

The worst thing you can do to a race driver is make him stop and sit while the others wind around the track. It is like pouring water on the wicked witch. So if the officials want to make a strong point to a driver I would say that is the best way to do it.

Depends on the severity of the offense. If someone retaliates in a car, which is a dangerous weapon, with the obvious intention of wrecking or hurting someone, then I think the punishment should be more severe. I mean, if they are presenting a hazard to themselves and others, then I think the punishment is warranted. With less serious offenses, like a small "bump", throwing things, pushing, fighting, etc. , I think it's fine to just fine them or fine and take points.

Yes, except it is not enough. They need to also park Drivers who are intentionally aggressive on the Track like Tony Sterwart and Dale Earnhardt Jr. If they would do that then retaliation would not be needed. I would love to see them outlaw the bump draft. This is already a very dangerous sport, 43 cars going nearly 200 miles in an oval, one person acts like a moron, and it could literally kill another driver.

Give em' a 3 strikes penalty. 1st time-Warning...2nd time-Points, fine, and send em to the back at the start of a race or two. 3rd time-Park em' for a few races.

What ever it takes to stop any and all retaliation on the track. Settle it like men, in the parking lot.

They didn't park Carl Edwards, or Kyle Busch all those times......
(it all depends on who you drive for)
