Ross got tight coming out of 4 and the 42 was to his outside. There was very minimal contact but the 42 ended up scraping the wall. Cut a tire and spun a lap or two later. Ross hasn't done himself any favors lately…but Gragson is a little *****

I didn't see the incident in the race (but the highlight looked like what you said)
But it sure did escalate quickly. Ross looked like he was expecting a casual conversation , but when Gragson put his hands on him, he took action.
Gragson seems like the standard spoiled brat
Nah. Ross was just way smarter than Gragson... note how Ross, is holding Gragson's right with his left the entire time they are "talking"... then when Gragson starts to push, kapow!Packchem91 said:PossumJenkins said:

Only one punch thrown that I saw.
Yeah, Ross isn't the most popular guy out there right now, but what happened contact-wise late yesterday was one of the far less egregious events of his... Gragson just seems like a little punk.
I agree...ncsupack1 said:Packchem91 said:PossumJenkins said:

The issue for the 1 going forward is that he is alone out there. Right or wrong that's how it is, going to be hard to win a championship with a lot of the field hating you. He has a reputation now, so going forward he has a bullseye.
And Noah Gragson's reputation isn't/wasn't that great. You can see from the video, Ross told him 3 times to stop. Noah got what was coming to him. IMHO, it was a racing issue on the trackcaryking said:I agree...ncsupack1 said:Packchem91 said:PossumJenkins said:

Him and Little Gibbs have had at least a couple of scraps together in Infinity over the last couple of years before this... and Gragson seems to be the one that always "takes it on the chin" (pun intended)...Glasswolf said:And Noah Gragson's reputation isn't/wasn't that great.

Based on his own comments, last season, I don't think Ross is about making friends, in NASCAR. It appears, NASCAR is his job and his family is his life…ncsupack1 said:caryking said:I agree...ncsupack1 said:Packchem91 said:PossumJenkins said:

Agree. The difference between KB and RC is that other drivers respect KB, I don't think the drivers feel the same about Ross. Ross and only Ross can fixed this, this isn't the old system of Championships based on points, he needs friends out there come playoff time.
Yeah...it's hard man. I feel like each week I'm watching holding my breath. Haha. There are definitely some times he has stepped over the aggressive line, but also I think there's some guys who just don't like him being up there. But he for sure is not concerned about winning popularity contests with the drivers I can tell you that. The thing with Ross that's different and that I respect more than anything (I think i've told the story here of how my group got him his big break)...but I've been around all the drivers over the past 15 years with various levels of friendships, acquaintances, working relationships etc. Every single one of them comes in willing to do whatever sponsor appearance and race whatever car they can get in, whatever it takes. Then they all find some success and inevitably they change. Every single one...Ross is the only driver I've been around who hasn't. He's still the same guy who will go to a volunteer fire department in the middle of nowhere and not complain about it once. Nothing he does on the track can change that for me.caryking said:Based on his own comments, last season, I don't think Ross is about making friends, in NASCAR.

Yea, I'm surprised by those numbers. Actually, I watched the F1 race, instead of NASCAR. Outside of the over produced beginning, of the F1 intro, it was good. That said, the racing, at Kansas, was awesome, from the highlights, I've seen.ncsupack1 said:
