They have a rule that covers cars spinning and not stopping at the Chili Bowl. If Sammy had been thinking in 20/20 hind>site he would have stopped on the track and started on the back of the pack on the same lap instead of one lap down behind the leaders.

Good grief, isn't it the flagman's job to tell drivers where to get in line? I wasn't aware driver's could pick from two or three options. Yes, I know that Sammy can exhibit the personality of a wet paint brush but if he gave a million dollars to the charity of his choice there would be people on here calling him cheap 'cause he didn't give a million and one.

Sammy going thru the infield like he did is no different than somebody sliding off the top of the banking at Bloomington and loosing 10 spots plus having the leader go by.... it took him a lap and a half to run a lap, he got passed by the leader then the yellow came out.. hes a lap down just like everyone else the leader passed. And just like back in the day when every track was more interested in a fair race than dumbing down the show so new people could follow along, lapped cars stay in line. If BC had to pass em by golly Bell and Rico and Bright and Bulldog and everybody else should have to work their way around em to get a shot a winning.

But it sure doesn't get much more blatantly dirty than Kevins treatment to Bell and more blatantly obvious than Sammys attempt at screwing anybody and everybody out of a racetrack to use.. It's just a good thing BC got by him clean and had a good enough car to get away from those 2 on each restart or who knows how dirty it woulda got trying to get the 39 in the lead.

One final thought on all this. I feel Sammy knew exactly what he was doing out there. His collision with Larson was a lucky break for son Kevin as that helped him take out one of their toughest competitors. Then the next one on his hit list was Christopher then it would have been up to Kevin to get past BC. It almost worked out except it was to late in the race for Kevin to catch Clauson. Sammy should be proud of his efforts to take out two of the top challengers and I'm sure Keith's not to happy with him. Sammy, not sure who is going to protect Kevin on the race track when ever you decide to retire or maybe that's why you haven't retired. I get the name now "Slammin Sammy" cause it sure fits.

All a person has to do is watch the race to see that Sammy didn't intentionally take out Larson, which took himself out of a chance of winning.

Re: Cheap shot Sammy
 

To say that Sammy intentionally took out Larson is ridiculous in my opinion... people just love to get in on this "pilin' on" thing with Swindell. Yes, his personality is and on camera demeanor is lacking to say the least, but some of his criticism is just not warranted

Re: Cheap shot Sammy
 

Don't like the rule that they put the lapped cars inbetween lead lap cars I know it should be fair that all cars should lap them but you get a situation like saturday when sammy could block for kevin. too bad it would of been a good race between bell and clauson but im glad clauson won. (sammy should of been black flagged for going through the infield he could of hit a hooters girl)
