Crafton & Sanchez got into it in the garage.

Crafton is a no talent hack. Send him home for the rest of the season.

Where is Matt?

Prolly standing in line for another double cheeseburger.

88 got hooked.

88 got hooked.

Didn’t give him the right to use his right hook on Sanchez.

I haven't seen a clear video, have you?

 

[Naitch]

I haven't seen a clear video, have you?

This guy was there

 

[Spotter22]

This guy was there

That's all I asked, now we need to hear from Matt.

 

[Greg]

I dont know who did what but Sanchez won the name calling and making threats part of the air fight.

Crafton is a butt munch. Sucker punching a kid half his age.

If he did,I agree

 

[Blaze]

Time for Sanchez to learn how to fight lol.

Man was sucker punched. Lmao

 

[Truex_rox]

Man was sucker punched. Lmao

I’ve seen that type of thing in person. It’s a low-brow move, especially in this context.

 

[StandOnIt]

Man was sucker punched. Lmao

Were you there? Did you see it?

 

[Naitch]

Actually. a statement made by someone who witnessed the incident is not hearsay.

 

[Clutch]

There has to be film of it somewhere. It'll be seen I'm sure

Gotta feeling the 25 is gonna go tail end of the lead lap finish

He's still 4th in the final result. NASCAR don't give a crap about their own rules.

It requires quite a bit of confidence to go after a 22-year-old when you're 47. If it was a fair fight I'd say Nick would be the favorite.

If it was a sucker punch Matt should definitely get a penalty though.

If she walked on a wet sidewalk, her fans would say she’s walking on water.

Fair point

So he did sucker punch him.

 

[StandOnIt]

So he did sucker punch him.

Tuesday when they dole out the penalties should be good.

I wonder who wrote that for Matt. Just to be completely honest about my thoughts on Matt Crafton, I think he is a card toting a**hole. To hear him tell it he has never done anything wrong on the track. I don't believe a word he wrote. JMHO

Yep, I am done with Crafton. His sponsors may also be done. We'll see.

I sure hope so, he is and always has been a sorry SOB in my book. He always looks like he needs to shave and take a bath. To hear him tell it, he has never made a mistake on the track. He reminds me of Mike Skinner.

 

[Naitch]

If you're a 47 year old racing in the modern day Truck Series, you have to expect stupid rookie mistakes. This isn't 15-20 years ago. This isn't a series filled with veterans any more.

Drivers cant win.

At least crafton did it with his fists and not his truck

I personally don't have any problem with the two having a fight, but IF the events unfolded they that it has been portrayed, then Crafton is a douche bag and deserves the criticism he is getting. I also think that if you want to hit someone, you just MIGHT want to at least hear their side of the story first.

IF Sanchez threatened him before that, Crafton's response is justifiable.

 

[Daytripper]

How is hitting someone justifiable if you weren't hit first? Threatening words are just words and you don't hit someone unless you are hit first.

 

[Formerjackman]

Well, that's why I said IF. So far, Crafton seems to be the only one offering his version of the truth, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. I would have to know more before I had a definitive opinion one way or another.

Yeah, I don't think this version is true.

But if it is ... if you threaten to kill someone, you best be ready to fight.

There is this thing, innocent until proven guilty. I know I don't have all of the facts, so I am not running my mouth either way.

I get that, but sometimes when you are twice somebodies age, it might be best to just let them blather. A wise man once said when someone is making a fool of themself, stand back and let them.

No driver suspensions. Crafton fined $25K, Sanchez fined $5K and Sanchez’s dad suspended from the track for the rest of the season for throwing punches as a non-participant (per Elton Sawyer on TMD this morning).

Sawyer said Crafton had time to cool down but still went and threw punches. And Sanchez was fined for saying “I’m going to kill you.”
