Predictably, Stenhouse Jr was punished (fined) for starting the fight with Busch. Understandable. But also predictably, Busch escapes any punishment for deliberately wrecking Stenhouse. And then Busch's owner, that cantankerous a-hull Richard Childress, warns Stenhouse Jr that he better not retaliate against Busch on the track, else he (Childress) will "whoop his ass."
So Childress is essentially saying "my guy can wreck you for pretty much no good reason, and you just have to accept it." What a hypocrite. Then again, he was the longtime owner & partner of one of the most hypocritical drivers of all time, Earnhardt Sr... (Dale Sr sure loved to dish it out but was quick to get his panties in a bunch when another driver gave it back.)
I mean, then we have NASCAR both punishing Stenhouse Jr for starting the fight but also promoting it on Twitter with a pic of Sten's fist connecting with Busch's face, under the text of "Ricky felt like something needed to be done... So he did something."
NASCAR should just get behind - in full promo mode - a fight between Stenhouse Sr (Jr's dad - who didn't shy away during the fracas last Sunday night) and Childress. Let those geezers duke it out before the CC 600, and then hopefully Stenhouse Jr will put Busch into the wall during the race...
