quote:It's nice to read your analysis of the situation proclaiming that there was nothing wrong about the incident. However, there hasn't been any actual NASCAR drivers coming forward to defend Keselowski. Why is that?
Exactly. Texas, much like Atlanta and Charlotte, is wide enough to go three wide in the turns and has three distinct racing grooves. Going into 1, 48 was low, 24 was up on the wall. 2 car saw an opening in the middle and stuck his nose in it. 24 came down a bit and they rubbed. Simple racing incident.

NASCAR will study film of the post-race fight [at Texas Motor Speedway at the end of the race] involving #24-Jeff Gordon, #2-Brad Keselowski and a host of crew members, but according to Robin Pemberton, the sanctioning body's senior vice president of competition and racing development, NASCAR has no issue with the incident that caused it. "I think it was hard racing, and this is a contact sport," Pemberton said of Keselowski's up-the-middle attempt pass on the next-to-last restart, a move that left Gordon with a cut tire and diminished championship chances. "You look at what drivers are trying to do. We had a couple shots at a green-white-checkered finish, and everybody was going for it. Nobody was leaving anything behind."
