Lee Janotta should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
That article doesn't show me what happened in the wreck, Tim.

And that's not what I was saying at all. Wrecking a guy is _never_ an acceptable way to make a pass. But if you go for the pass and he won't let you by, sometimes you have to beat on him. Likewise if some guy's trying to pass you, you might have to beat on him. That's just racing, and that's the kind of thing Stewart does and Dale did, without apology, that I respect.

Gordon spun out two cars Saturday night _just_ to get past, with cheap taps from behind. That's not racing, that's being cheap and lazy in your overtaking.

And yeah, the guy's got boatloads of talent, I'm still ****ed no CART team ever picked him up. But talent doesn't excuse cheap moves on the track.
