Quote from Spydertrader:
What I find so dubious about this whole situation stems from the fact that NASCAR instructed Gordon to park his Chevy "right behind the #17." When does a 21st place car ever have to line up on pit row to go through inspection? Gordon was on his way to his hauler (like every other driver not finishing in the top ten), when NASCAR directed the #24 to pit road. Are we to assume NASCAR had no idea legions of cameramen would be also there to record the confrontation? As fans, we spend the entire race listening to announcers, officials and former drivers explain how tempers often flare during this race. It is Bristol after all, and short tracks mean short tempers. What in the world did NASCAR think was going to happen parking these two drivers so close to each other? Ridiculous. NASCAR stacked the dynamite and then lit the fuse.
