I was appalled when I saw the highlights and saw the replay of what JR did. Yes Vickers threw a late block, but JR was far to dramatic about it and you can clearly see the hit was intentional, just watch JR's hands. And I completely agree, when Jason Leffler did something similar they held him for 5 laps, but JR does it and nothing. I wish they would be consistent across the board with these things. In the truck race they were really tight with rules, but in the sprint cup it's ok to do these things if you have a big enough name?

i think he is a great driver even others like to say he isn't. he is also one of the best restrictor plate drivers out there and knows the draft just like his dad
