Tony Stewarts take out!

[Vtr_Racing]

Just watched the Daytona 500 and the Stewart/Kenseth interview. The question was asked of Stewart if he hit Kenseth on purpose. at first he said "no" but as the interview went on he admitted taking him out intentionally. Racing is racing but that kind of behavior is unacceptable on the track. Im not a big fan of Nascar but I think that manuever and the comments made at the end should be reviewed by Nascar. The incident that Stewart claims Kenseth did to him I didnt think was intentional. Stupid,maybe, but not onn purpose.

Stewarts an idiot. Whining all week about dangerous driving. Almost every incident today had to do with him. not to get off topic but did JJ actually mention the word offroad in his postrace interview?

RG 12th!!!

Yes! it is amazing Jimmy did mention off-road racing! And I thought he forgot about his roots. Thats the one thing about Robby, love him or hate him, he does not for get about how off-road racing has took him to where he is now. And he does alot to help promote our sport.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Matt Kenseth is known as a benign individual, but that persona went out the window during the Daytona 500.
Kenseth was enraged after contact with Tony Stewart sent him hard into the Turn 3 fence and ruined his best-ever chance to win the season-opening race.

"I thought we had the car to win, honestly," said Kenseth, who finished 15th after rallying from two laps down.

On the 107th lap, Kenseth was on the low side of Stewart when Stewart's Chevrolet appeared to veer into Kenseth's lane, sending Kenseth careening into the infield.

Kenseth's Ford shot back up the track, where a train of cars miraculously managed to avoid hitting him. The hit came after Kenseth had led 28 laps.

After Kenseth brought his car to the pits, he exited pit road and immediately pulled alongside Stewart, who had continued unabated after the incident.

Kenseth slowed down and gestured at Stewart, and for that action, NASCAR gave him the black flag, citing a rule that states that cars must properly blend into traffic.

According to Kenseth, Stewart's hit was intentional.

"It wasn't an accident. If it was an accident I could live with it," Kenseth said. "I felt like it was an intentional cheap shot and I would bet anything on that. I would never do that to him -- intentionally put someone in harm's way at a racetrack like this."

The accident came one week after Stewart criticized heavy bump drafting during the Budweiser Shootout, saying, "We're going to kill somebody."

"He worried about everybody's safety and talking about people dying and going way overboard with it," Kenseth said. "If you're going to talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk. It's one thing to criticize everybody if you're perfect, but not one of us is perfect."

Stewart's publicist said he would have no comment about the Kenseth incident, opting instead to release an explanation through the team's car manufacturer.
Kenseth theorized that Stewart may have been angry that Kenseth raced him hard in the opening laps.

"Earlier in the race he was shaking his fist to me," Kenseth said

#20 penalized for rough driving? More like attempted manslaughter.

did you happen to notice who is voted 20th and the good comment he got?

seriously, tony is a big baby, earlier in the week he said "we are going to kill someone out there, i just im not around when it happens" Tony was involved in all 3 aggressive driving incidents on sunday. He said he crashed kenseth because of what kenseth did to him on lap 20. Kenseth did move in on stewart but never touched him. he is a hypocritical bi tch

[bajafox]

Me and a bar buddy always argue between RG and Tony and even he said he was going to stop rooting for Tony. The fact that he said "He started it so I finished it" on TV made me wonder how many lil kids look up to him and saw him say it. Now imagine somebody's kid getting in a fight in school and coming home saying that then using Tony as an example. What a champion NASCAR has this year...
