The two crashes don't really have poo poo to do with each other. Cale and Donnie were both trying to win.

Those arguing about this are under the mistaken belief NASCAR's sanctioning body is in charge of both suspending drivers and track marketing. Many keep asking "how was the incident bad enough to warrant a two-race suspension, but not bad enough to use in advertising?" Fact is, if your track hosted a controversial wreck and a retiring driver's final win, and you want to sell tickets, you better use both clips in your ads.

The comparisons to Daytona 1979 are also infuriating. Apples and oranges. Donnie, Bobby, and Cale only got slaps on the wrist and weren't suspended for any races. Bill France, Jr. knew what he had and played it up. Brian France got that same opportunity and screwed it up, so Martinsville's promoters had to do it for him.

NASCAR owns most of the tracks via holding companies and have heavy influence over the ones that they don't. If they wanted to squash this type of advertising, they could do it with one phone call. They don't do it because they care about making money.

That's a little different, since Larson didn't intend to fly into the fence.

Kenseth's wreck and The Fight were people choosing to do something. Then NASCAR said "Don't do that again!" and "Come see people do those things we've told them not to do! Quintessential!"

FOX talks up Danica's good run, only to have her get kicked out of line and go from 6th to 12th.

Nah, the call was fine. If they hadn't pit he would have been stuck on the outside (most likely) and had guys behind him on fresh tires. By pitting they were hoping to get on the inside lane.

Really, once the caution came out anyone on the outside was in a tough position.

I've always thought that every Xfinity and Truck race being on TV was fairly artificial, maybe it's time to scale them back again.

Was browsing racing clips on YouTube and this Cat Stevens song came up. Wasn't sure why at first.

probably because it generates revenue for NASCAR, but that's a wild guess
