Basically after the run in with Hamilton or Craven one, NASCAR asked Richard if Robbie was "cool". Richard relayed the message and RG said he was. And yes, that is NASCAR saying "if you are not cool get that way and now would be a good time"
Most of the panel (and myself) felt that JJ got a poor start, but did not buy the tire spinning deal, the poor start may have caused some initial contact, but Robbie hardly eased off once he realized what was happening. Johnny didn't buy Robbie's "gettin his lap back" story for their contact following the deal either.
Some folks seemed to htink the panel was too easy on RG, but what good would getting into some pissing match do anyone? Robbie would stuck to his story and that would have gone nowhere. I thought the guys handled it real well and if ya paid attention, they bought what seemed legit and made brief comment on the rest.
Robbie handled the deal exactly like I would want my driver to if I were an owner. And I do believe him when he says he really did not want to wreck JJ and MM, but it would seem that his frustration outweighed his judgement in the heat of the moment. We all know that never happens with us though don't we? LOL
