Denny Hamlin Sidelined, Tony Stewart Gets No Fine, The TRACK Should Get Fined!

Boys have at it has had quite the shining moment this past weekend in Fontana, in a big way or two, if you count both the Denny Hamlin and Tony Stewart altercations with Joey Logano.

What an interesting common denominator.

First up was the Denny Hamlin/Joey Logano spat that turned into a "I wasn't going to let him win" thing with Joey Logano.

Prior to knowing the extent of Hamlin's injuries, Logano was being quoted to saying "good" about Hamlin's wreck.

This is classic "Boys have at it," whether you like it or not.  But where Logano and Hamlin tangled, you'd never guess that this simple altercation between them would result in a fractured spinal column for Denny Hamlin, putting him out of the car.

But then again, it's always fun until someone gets hurt.  Right?

Hamlin is looking to be out six weeks to give his spine time to heal, and unless he sneaks in and drives the first lap of each of the next five races, he's probably not looking at being a contender for the Chase for the Cup... but hey, wilder things have happened.

Then there's the Tony Stewart vs. Joey Logano spat, where Stewart got upset that someone raced him on the track.

If anything, it's not the altercation that should get a fine for Stewart, but rather, for being so silly about it.

Wah!  He did to me what I do to others... wah!

You know who should get a fine?  Auto Club Speedway.  That's right!

Any track in this day and age that does not have the entirety of their track wall surfaces covered in safer-barriers, should get fined by NASCAR for being bone heads!

I don't care about the statistical chances of hitting or not hitting a wall... any point on any wall is suspect, and sooner or later, it will get hit.  Period.
