Couple of notes on the situation after hearing some discussion on the Sirius NASCAR station...
Kyle Petty was on the morning show yesterday and he made a really good point about the officials' lack of action on pit road. The drivers had made a move for pit road, jumped back to the track for a good 30 seconds, then went back on pit road and just sat for a fairly long time. Yet at no point were any officials really on hand in time to do anything about it. Petty made the point that most other sports will have officials jumping right in to stop altercations as soon as they see trouble. Anyway, in all the madness I never really even noticed the lack of action on their part and I think it's a great observation on KP's part.
what he fails to point out is that in other sports you don't have the off chance that an official could get knocked into next tuesday by a spinning automobile. i assume they were staying away because they were afraid they were going to fight using their cars instead of their fists.
And given Kyle was happy to punt Kevins car out of the way and completely out of control into a barrier, I'd say that the officials made the right decision.
