\nNASCAR will review the film of a post-race fight which involved Jeff Gordon, Brad Keselowski and a number of crew members following the AAA 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s senior vice president of competition and racing development, there is no issue with the racing between Keselowski and Gordon which led to the No. 24 car losing a tire and spinning out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was hard racing, and this is a contact sport,\u201d Pemberton said of Keselowski\u2019s charge up the middle to get around Gordon.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou look at what drivers are trying to do. We had a couple shots at a green-white-checkered finish, and everybody was going for it. Nobody was leaving anything behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course the issue for NASCAR is what happened after the race and when drivers got out of the cars.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to take our time. We\u2019ve got a lot of film to review and things like that. The important thing is to make the right decision at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pemberton made it clear that NASCAR was not happen with the post race brawl.<\/p>\n
“You shouldn\u2019t punch somebody,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody gets together, and when you\u2019re holding onto each other and grabbing and this, that and the other, that\u2019s one thing. When punches are landed, that\u2019s a different scenario…”<\/p>\n
The final race of the Eliminator Round will take place on Sunday at Phoenix International Raceway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
