Tony Stewart intentionally wrecked Matt Kenseth, and all he got was a trip to the back of the longest line. Kenseth gave Stewart a piece of his mind, and he got a black flag as they threw the green flag to restart, then NA$$¢AR said he didn’t serve it, so they put him another lap down.
Bull-fucking-shit!
Revisions/extensions – Kenseth managed to get both of his laps back, but only got back to, at least unofficially at this point, 15th. We had a Green-White-Caution finish, and there were several different versions. The same version put Stewart 5th.
Further revisions/extensions – Near the end of the race, Kyle Busch pulled almost the same move on Stewart that Stewart pulled on Kenseth (only differences, no contact and no wreck). NASCAR gave Kyle a black flag to serve a pass-through penalty, but he stayed out an extra lap just like Kenseth. At the end of that extra lap, there was another caution. So, instead of serving either a pass-through penalty or not having that lap scored, Busch got the same “punishment” as Stewart – tail end of the longest line. Pure horseshit.
Oh, and just in case the tape wasn’t conclusive enough to determine that Stewart did his stunt intentionally to wreck Kenseth, he cleared that up in his post-race interview. He did do it intentionally to “finish it”. NA$$¢AR needs to park his ass for a couple races, defending champ and Heel Golden Boy status be damned.
I Agree. My feelings have always been hot and cold on Stewart but his actions today crossed the line between trading paint and reckless disregard for human life. All this coming five years after Dale Earnhardt was killed in this race. It will be interesting to see if the deal to have Matt and Tony race at Madison International Speedway this June stays in place.

Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart to race at Madison International Speedway on June 27, 2006. Please note that VIP ticket packages are now SOLD OUT, but plenty of General Admission tickets remain.
They’ll have it hashed out by then; there’s always Bristol and Martinsville to get those latent fits of anger sorted out at a lower speed (though I wouldn’t try to settle things at Richmond; that there’s a killer track).
My driver is Jamie McMurray.
Benny Parsons said it early in the race… ‘Kurt doesn’t want the guy who replaced him to finish better than he will…’ He made sure of that with 3 laps to go. Jamie had a top 5 car all day, until Kurt put him into the wall.
Can’t wait till Bristol
Lets just say I wish a season of blown engines cut tires and really nasty wrecks on that asshat steward what a thug.
and my rock is the NASCAR leadership a bunch of spineless asshats Steward admits that he wrecked him on purpose and they do nothing to him.
Nascar needs Goons like in Hockey someone whos only job is to F-ck Steward up.
