I watched that race and at the end, when Briscoe wrecked Reddick, the camera cut to Richard Childress and the look of disgust on his face was priceless. I immediately laughed out loud and said, "You sure liked it when your grandson wrecked Amirola to win the Daytona 500!". That's NASCAR racing for ya.
Of course, nearly every racing series has an "avoidable contact" penalty of some sort, but not NASCAR, and pertinently USAC, but the sprinters have a way of sheet-time as a deterrent.
You want my opinion? The "good 'ol boys" ain't happy that the dirt trackers are the shining stars of late, and also pertinently, the most likely stars of the future.
