I even have a couple photos of Owen Snyder discussing such an event with Kevin after one of Kevin's brain farts, at Macon. Can't you just let it go?

There's not a driver out there that has not made multiple bone headed moves in throughout their career. That being said, I am a fan of his father (LONG before he ever put a wing on) and now the kid too. That's the way it is. If he screwed up, he screwed up. That's no reason for 3 pages of driver bashing. So no, I won't "just let it go" as long as the bashing and name calling continues. Pretty childish in my book.

In the over 40 years I've been going to races, I have NEVER bashed a driver. I won't fall into the armchair driver catagory...

im not the one who judges who is allowed to have an opinion or not. i just wondered how many times you watched him race this year. i probably watched him race 12-15 times, and i have my own opinions of his driving style i just have not discussed it here.

You last sentence speaks volumes and THAT is what I respect. I am not defending his actions, I just disagree with the public lynching he is recieving, it just reeks of no class. I compare it to the drunks in the stands shouting obscenities and flying the bird at drivers on the track. I would hope to think that true fans are above that.

Thanks Eagle14 for giving me some runnig room. If we are nearing the end of this thread I would like to say that if uncle Jeff was team manager for his car... this whole thing would not be a issue.
