Dale reminded everyone that his last name did not have “senior” in it and corrected anyone who called him that… and as far as being “called out”, go watch his Bristol night race race win over Terry Labonte and the reaction of the media over the next week, as a matter of fact he was booed for weeks when he went to other tracks

@AstroDoc NASCAR is rare among sanctioning bodies with their “have at it boys” program. There’s contact at every level of racing, road and oval, and not everything should be penalized, but NASCAR is extremely rare in that almost nothing is penalized. That’s basically an open invitation for drivers to run over each other for every spot the way Chastain does. In this incident he bumped a lapped car out of the way basically for just being on the track.

Everybody says they got “Chastained” when when he wrecks them…
well Ross is going to get “Kensethed”

Actually they never called out Dale on anything, really, even back then.

Where can I find this interview. I’d like to hear Tony’s opinion on the matter.

@Joe Schmoe exactly and that’s the problem. Chastain obviously has enough talent to outdrive others… he just chooses to dump and wreck people instead with no Regard.

You nailed it here. NASCAR will take driver authority out of question in today’s racing, but they don’t replace it with their own, so this is what you end up with. This behavior needs to be checked by someone at the very least

@John Barker no he doesn’t. I heard he took Earnhardt out in 01.

The #15 was really slow in entry! What was supposed to do, he didn’t realize Poole was so slow!
