So Wind Tunnel's poll is whether or not Danica should be parked for putting Hornish in the wall after the checkers flew.

And remember, there is a precedent, albeit in another series (last year in the trucks with KB)
 
If we're to use the Busch/Hornaday incident as a precedent then, yes, she should be.
 
yes she should. park her for the Darlington weekend for both races. Gluck and company said on Twitter that Nascar didnt even call her into Hauler. fu#king idiots!
 
What Kyle did was way more vicious. He drove right THROUGH Hormaday and. Danica just kinda nudged Sam into the wall. And that's after he purposely drover her into the wall at full speed.

I just don't think these incidents are at all equal and there is no way in hell the 7 should be parked. Even if I didn't like her and she was ugly I'd say the same thing.
 
Also, Sam was able to drive his car back to pit road. If it had been the vicious hit that some of you are suggesting, that 12 car would have been on the hook.

Danica didn't wreck Sam under yellow, and that's what NASCAR took issue with in the Kyle incident. Carl walled Kurt way harder twice after the checkers in the 2nd 2010 Daytona race and totaled his car. NASCAR never even called Carl to the hauler.
 
Nascar is really just running a Kangaroo court. Its ok if one driver does it and then they suspend another driver, it really just raises the concern that many people have said for quite a while, they play faviorates and they wont change.

Under caution at Texas vs Talladega. Intertesting point.

Guys losen their belts under yellow, and I'm sure that's why Helton said the won't tolerate guys wrecking each other under yellow.

I understand what you're saying but it's not like the yellow had been out for a few laps. It was thrown for their getting together and into the wall. I seriously doubt they had their belts loosened so soon. But, I see the point Nascar is making.

Do drivers loosen their belts after the checkered flag?
 
I just watched again, and Sam runs Danica into the wall, and they had slowed down a bit. It's not as bad as I originally thought, but I still don't like these actions on fast tracks. Nobody can predict how it will turn out.

Probably on the back stretch.

And do drivers loosen their belts under caution knowing that they are going back to green?

Also, Danica has never been in any kind of trouble with NASCAR and they understand that she needs to stand her ground. I'm sure they looked at what Sam did to her and figured he had it coming.

At the end of the day, NASCAR is probably glad to have some controversy surrounding a big name driver. All we've been hearing is how boring things have been. Now they have something that will be discussed all week heading into Danica's Cup race at Darlington and something that will be featured on national news broadcasts. Win-win.

No, they sleep in their cars. ;)

NASCAR can't split hairs on the issue of intentional wrecking under yellow.

Yeah, it's starting to circle so if wreckng under cautions is a no-no due to loose belts than so be it.
 
I think everyone knows that nascar won't do a damn thing to Danica because she's their great breasted hope. So, parked...no. 3 weeks probation so things don't turn into a total free for all.

"I don't know," Patrick said when asked what had happened with Hornish. "He came up to me afterward and apologized. I'm not really sure."​

"I was doing everything I could do," Hornish said. "I was trying to wave off Elliott to get him to quit pushing me. I couldn't hold (the car) down where it was at, and I ended up getting in the wall before we ever even got to the start-finish line."​
Hornish said Patrick hit him on the cooldown lap "while we were still going 160 mph. … I went over and said, 'Hey, we had the right-front tire that went down, and I don't appreciate getting turned after the race was over. She said, 'Oh, I know your style,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, because I'm going to drive into the trioval wall way before the start-finish line to prove any kind of point.'​
"I don't know. She's got her head a little bit mixed up about what's going on out there, I guess."​
When asked whether she knew Hornish had a tire going down, Patrick said, "I don't know if he did or didn't. But he apologized, so … "​
About 30 minutes after the race, NASCAR Nationwide Series director Joe Balash said no drivers had been called to the NASCAR hauler for discipline.​
Hornish said NASCAR hadn't talked to him about the incident.​
"I'd like to go talk to Balash about it," he said. "I don't feel I did anything wrong. Any replay that shows us going into the trioval will show the splitter smoking (from the tire going flat). You wouldn't drive into the trioval and go straight into the wall. I don't know even know if her and I ever hit before that. I don't understand how she thinks anyone would do that on purpose, but I don't know."​
Patrick also said she hadn't been called to the NASCAR hauler.​
Asked if she expected to be disciplined, Patrick said, "I don't know."​

This is why I don't like guys going off over every little thing. Danica looks like an ass on this one if Sam really had a tire going down.
 
I have a screen cap but don't see where on here to upload from my computer :confused:

You can see smoke coming from the right side of the car before she put hm in the wall. I was expected to see a flat tire but realized that the interliner would keep it from being "flat as a pancake" ;)

He could have flattened it when he hit her.
 
Fine and Probation that's it, Kyle's was cause he did it a lot, and it was under caution I guess AND he played a roll in the championship also in a series he's not running for points in.
 
There was no reason in the world for that. It's what, 12th position. There's no reason for turning someone to a wall at 160 mph after the race is over. If this doesn't call for a penalty (not talking that meaningless probation BS either) then NASCAR has no reason to penalize any on track behavior from here on out. They blasted KB for this last year to a ridiculous point, I don't care if it's Danica or not. She reminds me of Montoya. She takes everything personally and can't understand that sometimes sh*t happens.
