About Kyle and Carl--anyone else disappointed...?

Q: ...that they used their cars to fight and not their fists? Seriously, that bit of bumper cars at the end was cowardly, and disrespectful to the crews who work hard to put good cars together. Even Jeff Gordon shoved Matt Kenseth a couple years back. Wouldn't a real fight have given the fans something worthwhile to watch? It's not like either one had to worry too much about points penalties. Also, if Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards did get into a fist fight, which one do you think would win? Carl has muscles, but Kyle has mean.

A: no i wasn't disappointed. and it looked to me like they did settle it with a dance competition - kyle danced up close to carl and stepped on his foot, and carl gave him a spin - it was a thing of beauty... and to be honest, i'm not of the old school thinking that these things should be handled by fisticuffs, or a whupping out behind the garage. most of those drivers are tiny and could get hurt. just think of the damage carl could have done to kenseth last year if instead of playing "made you flinch" he played "made you bleed." jeff could go and push matt because neither one of them is that big, and jeff left his helmet on. and bottom line, these guys are not boxers - they are supposed to be the best drivers there are - they do battle with their cars. yeah, i feel bad for the teams who have to fix it up, but they do get paid to do it...
