   Since when? Was there ever a time when rubbing and pushing and hoping to win hasn't been a part of racing?  I don't think so. These guys play by rules or NASCAR will give them the boot.

      They mentioned it on Live with Kelly and Michael yesterday when they were talking to Carl Edwards. He admitted that they've been acting like a bunch of "divas" lately.

   Apparently you only started watching it in the last 15 years.   This today is nothing compared to the old days.     And there were lots of deaths back there then too because they actually used "stock" cars, not special built ones.   Yes they were beefed , but the current cars, thankfully, are built with keeping the driver alive as # 1 priority.   Most of todays drivers could not do it 20 yrs ago.

      Yeah during the rain delay yesterday they showed clips from various feuds (apparently the racer I liked was involved in a couple of them). A few were from before I was born but they seem to happen more frequently now.

   No to both of you. I mean since when is it customary to get into brawls after the race is over? I don't remember drivers and their crews getting into fights with other drivers and their crews when I was a kid.

      sorry but they used to have some real fights so you must have just not seen them, they were there in the past as well as intentionally wrecking each other

      Really? Wow. I guess my dad kept that from me when I was a kid, just like he didn't tell me my favorite driver accidentally ran someone over on pit road before the speed limit there was regulated.
