More awkward fight: Borel-Castellano or Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton at today's NASCAR race? It was a weekend filled with midget wrasslin!

Borel Showed how uneducated he really is! Yes Castellano interfered, but Martin Garcia was in more jeopardy than Calvin...I can't believe that Calvin didn't get days for his actions...seems like a slap on the hand to me!

I cant believe that you believe there are degrees of jeopardy

While I respect your opinion, how do you gauge Calvin's level of education? Do you know him personally or have you just heard him speak? Or is it that he did not finish high school? One does not need to be formally schooled to be educated nor does one have to speak in formal, proper english. i surely dont.

Calvin has forgot more about race riding and horsemanship that we will ever know. He isnt the greatest jock, but he commands respect from the horseman. While Javi is known as a nice guy and good rider, his actions were reckless and could have permanently injured those guys.

Contrary to all the touchy feelys we have now a days, stuff happens and sometimes it needs to be handled just as it was....when you scrap at places like Cajun Downs and the Quarter Pole, you dont take it lightly when someone threatens your career.

And they put Burton and Gordon in the same ambulance. Barnum & Bailey in a telephone booth. Burton was at fault, and he did apologize.
