NASCAR Charlotte Dust-Up and My Prediction

Hamlin - suspended 1 race, (thus out of chase), he sorta tried to wreck Keslowski under caution. You just can't do that in the post Stewart sprint car death era.

Keslowski - suspended for some duration (thus out of chase), he did wreck lots of people under caution in pit lane, including an unbuckled Kennseth, and endangered people in the garage

Stewart - suspended for one race (no chase impact), he did wreck Keslowski under caution

Kennseth - no penalty, all his activity was on foot, off the track; perhaps he'll get a a NASCAR tongue lashing. No man points for fighting style but at least he wasn't using his car to fight like the other idiots.

Secondary Impact - (no pun intended) Junior's and Jimmy Johnson's chances to stay in the chase just drastically improved

Tertiary Impact - Claims of NASCAR conspiracy abound from automotive grassy knoll types unhappy with Junior and Jimmy Johnson improved chances.

UPDATE: So Keslowski is claiming Kennseth hit him under "Yellah". If that's true, Kennseth will get a serious punishment too. Again, just my prediction. NASCAR is a business with liability. I don't think they will let the caution flag demo derby go without serious punishment.

No suspensions, just money.

it's not like they gave points to Jimmie and jr. Their chances are better with two less drivers to compete with, but Jr. (and it pains me to admit this) is a long shot at best. But it's Dega ANYTHING can happen.

You might be correct, we'll see, Thanks for going on the record.

They won't suspend any chase contender. They might get fined a $100k though, and put on probation. I was suprised at Stewarts retaliation. I figured he would be on his VERY best behavior.

NASCAR rarely suspends drivers, I could see points along with cash, but no suspensions

I totally agree about Tony Stewart. Did he not learn anything this year? He just added to the lawyers argument of a certain pattern of behavior.

Any videos of the shenanigans? I fell asleep during the race. Woke up as Kenseth jumped Keselowski, just in time to change the channel and watch Bill Hader host SNL.

As I said, just my prediction.

Here's a video of Kennseth going after Keslowski, and then some interviews.

I know, but I hope it happens. There is no place for such behavior.

There is not going to be any suspensions, just some large fines
