That should have read I thought that both drivers should have been parked for a week for different reasons Sanchez for his language, threatening to kill Crafton. There’s no room for that and then crafting for the rest of it because he was a three-time champion. He should have used better judgment, and I personally think they were both at fault for various reasons.

I don’t blame Matt crafton for being mad, but wrecks like this happen at talladega! Honestly crafton loves to bully younger drivers! I honestly think crafton should retire at the end of the season!

How was Crafton not charged with Assult

Sanchez didn’t press charges. Probably because he doesn’t have a case

@austinsanders6475  he was attack from behind (Crafton has 0 self dense to claim) and there were many witnesses that’s a case 100%

Not a fan of Crafton, and if it was a sucker Punch, I’d think even lower of him. I don’t think there should be any penalties for a garage or off garage incident. I think Crafton is counting down his last races and was pissed. However, if every driver got out and went after somebody who hit them, you’d have an empty garage and an empty track. If his actions cause his competitors to park him the next time they’re on the track together I don’t think there should be any penalties for that either.

YES! I can’t wait to see Fat Crafton get junked at Miami! But uhm, what did Sanchez do to get fined??

I feel they both deserved about the same level of punishment. Crafton for sucker-punching a dude in the face and drawing blood. And Sanchez for repeatedly threatening to murder Matt Crafton lol.

Well, he meant his car at homestead and blaney has also said he will Kill austin cindric so it makes sense to not charge him more.

What a lot of people leave out that Matt punches Nick because he threatened murder even BEFORE it went blows…

I can’t believe that Nascar suspended Nick’s father for defending his son from a beating from Crafton, a man twice his son’s age. So much for family values.
