That was a textbook slidejob! Nowhere has it ever been said that if you make the guy getting slid lift that it's a dirty move. While I don't like to make it a habit of sliding people and have it end up quite that close, I'll do it in a heartbeat if necessary. And I don't ***** when it happens to me. Just do like Stenhouse did- lift and/or jab the brakes and turn back under him. It was a perfect move/countermove in my opinion. I'm just talking about the turn 3 & 4 part. And on the frontstretch, Sammy did nothing wrong in my opinion-he did come down a little to squeeze Stenhouse some (to block a slider), but didn't appear to be intended to take him out. ***** happens, move on to the next race.

Seems ironic that most of the drivers on here thought it was ok, but non-drivers didn't. Just an observation.
