Do you have some special t.v. that shows something that the rest of us can not see? The only thing that is clear is that it is not clear at all. I just watched it 4 or 5 times tonight, again, it just appears. NASCAR is trying to set an example out of Robby and his single car team. They should have set the example last year when E Jr. spun to bring out a caution. You do not like Robby, I've known this since the day I logged on. But you need to see everthing and not turn a blind eye. Everyone is going to back their driver, but when it is not your driver that is in the middle of the controversy, check it all out.

Why should the other 33 drivers walk on eggshells the the special chasers? That is rediculous! That is almost like a scrpted race. Do you think that Robby even knew what the other chasers situation was at that time? He is concerned with one thing and one thing only, his current situation. Ask any drivere and they will tell you same thing. They are not concerned with where a driver is that is 8th or 28th in points. These chasers want everything to open up for them like the red sea. Give me a break. They have to earn their position in every race, the first 26 or the last 10.

exactly all he cares about was himself, not if it were okay for anyone else to have the caution just for himself.. i'm not saying that you should think of the other people, but to cause a caution on purpose is dumb

Drivers have been purposely causing cautions for years and years, this is nothing new. Junior did it, all the drivers do it, or have done it at least once. What Robby did is nothing to be shocked about, so lay off my driver! LOL, just kiddin.

Earnhardt Jr. says many drivers have caused cautions on purpose

FORT WORTH, Texas - Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Friday that the incident in which Robby Gordon allegedly caused a caution in the Oct. 29 Nextel Cup race at Atlanta wasn't that unusual, because, "it's something that's happened a lot over the years."
The popular driver is speaking from experience on the matter. Earnhardt Jr. was penalized 25 driver points and hit with a $10,000 fine after NASCAR ruled he spun intentionally to cause a caution period in the March 2004 Nextel Cup race at Bristol.

His Dale Earnhardt Inc. team also received a 25-point penalty in the owner standings.
"Well that's something that's gone on before and happened before," Earnhardt Jr. said. "I don't know if there is a driver in the garage that hasn't done that. So I don't think it's something that deserves a real steep penalty."
Still, Earnhardt Jr. said a driver intentionally causing a caution is not something NASCAR wants to condone, so the sanctioning body's penalty (50 owner and driver points, and $15,000) was appropriate.
"That's a lot of points," Earnhardt Jr. said. "The money is never really going to make a big dent. . . . But I think the points are a good way to get everybody's attention. That's something that's pretty precious to you - especially at this time in the season."

Nice of Jr to be so diplomatic, but that caution didn't affect him. And since Jrs penalty was only half of that for blatently spinning out (which could have caused much more damage than a piece of foam). Does Burton think it was a fair ruling? I haven't seen if Burton has commented.
