NASCAR penalizes crew members, not drivers after Texas fight

I really don't have anything to say one way or the other with this...

To me it means personal fist fights are okay but no riots or melees by the crews. I find that acceptable.

Yep, selective application of rules. I am growing tired of NASCAR as a racing organization and their antics. I fear the last two races may become high-speed demolition derbies. The media will lap it up, tv ratings will go up and then NASCAR can create more mayhem in the coming seasons. I hope I'm wrong.

I think they should use hockey rules for fighting.

I agree that NASCAR has become tiresome. Its high time they focus on the racing and less on new rule creation. Or how to destroy yet another season. What ever happened to taking two cars and driving them as fast as you can. I miss the old days. Which is strange cuz I'm not that old, LOL. Some where along the line the meaning of Stock Car racing has been lost.

One must always keep in mind the rule rule which is, "why did you make that rule? because we can, that's why".

I don't think Brian France is helping NASCAR. I've seen this before with businesses that are handed down to succeeding generations. To the founders, the business is one of their children, usually given priorities normally reserved for the first born. When it is handed down to a child, the second generation may carry on with it, but will begin making changes, some good, some not so good. When it is handed down to the third generation, they have no grasp of what it took to establish the business, the struggles, the mistakes made, so they change a lot of things and often destroy the business.

Until a driver gets killed, or even worse some people inb the crowd.

Bloody idiots, grow up and act your age!

When Danica and Johanna put on their NASCAR bikinis and get into the grease pit and duke it out,
this sport will have lost all relevance.
