Ranger Robbed @ Riverside

[DWfan4ever]

B.A.R. if you are a team member and support the series can I ask why you use such words as "clown" show and ferris wheel when describing the tech crews in the pits??  From what I've seen in comparing the old CASCAR tech inspection to the NASCAR tech inspection there has been a major improvement.  And if you've followed racing long enough I'm curious to know how many times NASCAR has parked a team for a race or even better the whole season because individuals decided to exchange some fisticuffs.  Case in point the dust up at Loudon in the truck series 2 weeks ago.  The only penalties issued were monetary and suspensions for 2 crew members.  The driver involved in the fight was put on suspension till the end of the season and fined money.

Can't wait to hear the response on this one.LOL

According to the results page on NASCAR.com 22fan it was Bryan Cathcart running the 71 car at Riverside.  And according to the writeup Micks is renting the car from Cathcart this weekend due to his problems at Riverside.

Ranger pinched him up going into turn one.  Race people the way they race you.  I wonder what the people from Canadian Tire think of their driver getting the shaft and the walmart driver getting breaks from Nascar all the time.

Not even sure if that was worthy of a black flag anyways, was it?  Guys get away with it all the time in the Canadian Tire Series.

Remeber back in the CASCAR days when Gibbons and other that had big time sponsors could do stuff like that and nothing was said and as soon as a non sponsor car did that they got penalized for it.

I guess as the saying goes what goes around comes around.

Note sure who was at fault here as couldn't see it clearly on the yiutube video.

Was Peter a lap down when this happened?

Thanks.  I found the info shortly after I posted.

But still. It's good to see one of my designs on the track still.


ps.  Judging from the video, it was a racing deal.

I believe he was racing for the lead.  At least this is the way I understand this thread.

Looks like a racing deal... And that it was Gibbons who was robbed.

It'll be interesting to see what happened in the laps leading up to this when it's on TV...

I guess by now you have all heard that NASCAR, in its continuation of striving to be the leader in world COC Violation - Watch The Language, has fined Gibbons Crew Chief and lead Mechanic for verbal abuse after Gibbons received the black flag with 2 to go.

The Video is out for all to see, and it is a flat out B.S. deal by NASCAR to call Gibbons for ruff driving. I have seen harder hits by push trucks at a Super Modified Race !!!

Anyways, it just goes to show you all that what I told you, is money in the Bank.
NASCAR will kiss Rangers ass over all circumstances, and protecting him is NASCAR's way of keeping it fair.

To the Morgie's and the Ace's, and the Auto's that felt this was not an issue of protecting the little french bastard...guess what- YOUR WRONG !!

For fans that are going to the Kawartha Race, please do me a big favour and wear a CASCAR tee shirt. If you don't have one- wear a NASCAR tee shirt but add the word SUCKS underneath the NASCAR logo !!

If anyone thinks these idiots are going to survive racing up here, I have a MinnyStock that could sit on the pole at Daytona... I will sell you.... cheap...it's Nascar legal and #27 !!

Sorry about the language... I know better !!

Check out the video on this page.
Here is what you will see..... Restart- Ranger beats Gibbons into turn 1, Donny follows on behind Ranger and takes 2nd coming out of 2, Gibbons powers out of 2 on the high side and passes Donny by running the car in deep on the high side going into three, Ranger slows up and Gibbons hard on the brakes just barely taps Ranger, Ranger goes up the race track and Gibbons follows threw on the bottom.

Its just good clean racing and has been done that way a billion times by everyone that is racing hard, but when the boy cry's the blue's- NASCAR is right their with the Kleenex !!

Alright I will answer this then we are moving onto something else before we get warned.

I said Midgets as most people are when comparing them to Gibbons size.
I said 2 Guys and Ranger because that is what we saw and that can be backed up by Morgie who was there.
The word Attack was used to describe what went on inside that Trailer as they knew Gibbons was alone, getting out of his suit.

Was it a case of 2 of them trying to hold Gibbons so Ranger could throw a punch...not likely, but Ranger went there with intent and that is why his 2 Crewmen followed.
Protection is needed if your going to try and take Gibbons on, and maybe they should have considered taking the whole Team along.

The Ferris Wheel and Cotton Candy could be found in Tech Lane through out the weekend. They had a gauge setup to see if you were tall enough to ride the rides, and they had a guy guessing the cars weight which was followed up by actually weighting the car.
There were lot's of Clowns and even some Monkeys in the ring as well.

Good night Mr. Ace   

Sorry, I actually cannot back that up, I am not sure how many crew members went down there.

not enough

I think B.A.R. and anyone else who can't stand Andrew Ranger, will be busting a gut laughing when he smacks the wall.
