Having been there myself, in the pits, and watching how Ranger was racing Gibbons, Peter was very patient with him. At the end of the race, it was good, hard racing, and Andrew did not spin out, just lose some positions, and in racing this year, in this series, if they flew the black flag for that every time, a lot of people would have penalized. The thing a lot of people need to watch is how NAscar handles Ranger and his two crewman that tried to attack Gibbons in the trailer when he was alone. Peter did a great job defending himself, as could be expected, and since they entered Peter's hauler to do this, they must be penalized. But here it is, Tuesday, and nothing. peter has done more to make this series what it is than Ranger ever will. It's not going to be the same without him.
NASCAR is scared SH$%LES of Andrew Ranger, and would never fine him because they don't have the balls.
Any other Team pulling a stunt like that by entering another teams trailer with the intent of kicking ass would be parked for at least one event, if not a year, but NASCAR will turn their heads once again because it has to do with the pretty one, Andrew Ranger.
If the shoe was on the other foot and Ranger would have bumped Gibbons, NASCAR would have still black flagged Gibbons for being in Rangers way !!
Its almost like the TV show 'Lost in Space' with NASCAR being the Robot who is always walking around and yelling "DANGER - DANGER- ITS RANGER- RANGER"...
haha
hehe...your facts slightly skewed B.A.R. - but I commend you on your humour. Everyone appreciates a clown.
Morgie- Your on that team.
Please tell me you had enough sense not to make the trip to Gibbons Trailer !!
"DANGER- DANGER-- ITS RANGER- RANGER" Quote from ' Lost In Space' Robot.
What do you think NASCAR will do about this, as it puts them in a really bad position just to sit back and pretend it didn't happen.
Will they take the side that its Ranger, and do nothing about it as they have since day one. Good examples:
Ranger purposely takes out Cary Micks after the finish line at Montreal and destroys Mick's car.... NASCAR turns the cheek !
Ranger goes out to qualify at Montreal and comes back into the pits for work.
Under the NASCAR rule, once you take to the track that is your qualifying effort and if you pit your session is over... BUT- Ranger does it and is allowed to carry on qualifying.
Nascar again turns their cheek...
And now this deal where Ranger and his posse go into Gibbons trailer to pick a fight
( only to get their ass's kicked) is a major violation in NASCAR's eye's...
Oh... hold on.... have those little devils turned their cheek's again !!
Everyone that follows the series is seeing the same thing over and over and you cant tell me that NASCAR doesn't have their favorites. Put any other Driver in the series in that same position and guess what- the 2008 season is over for them- right there- right now.
I say if they are going to allow it to happen and they are going to turn their cheek again on this one, then at least let Gibbon's drag the little bastard out onto the front stretch at Kawartha and beat him until he squeals like a pig...before the race...in front of everyone.
That or Gibbons gets on Rangers back with a whip and rides the little mare all the way around Kawartha's horse track !!
Either one would be fare, and would sell allot of tickets !!
