Where is the footage?

Just watched victory lane. Where is the footage of Robby hitting the 12 under caution. The only thing they showed was rg and stremme coming into the pits.If thats where they say Robby hit him then I must be blind because all I saw were two guys entering the pits. Robby was close to his bumber but that was it, if he hit him I didn't see it. So where is the footage. After the 12 spun him for the 2nd time I am positive that a camera was following the 7. So show me the video and I will believe he should have gotten parked for 5 laps. Jimmy Spencer said he thinks Stremme should have been paked for the rest of the race.

Sequence of events is this
1 Robby got tripped up a bit out of 1 by Stremme
2 Robby spun out of 2 (for what reason don't matter, Robby is now peaved as all hell) then Stremme comes rolling along and "could have but did not stop" and rammed Robbys quarter panel.
3 Seeing it was the 12 "again doing damage" Robby has his fuse lit and lets the 12 death threat fly.
4 Robby does get the message across and does some serious bump drafting, then rolls along side the 12s' outside and slows a bit as if to shoot the bird lets say.
5 Gets by and before he could fully clear him , Stremme makes a right hand turn and dumps Robby.
6 fottage of pit road shows Robby follow Stremme towards his pit a just very lightly rub the 12 in his outside rear, not causing much yet still an action on pit road which NASCAR has been cracking down on. (the deliberate stuff)
So there you have it, TV coverage may have been not live on the pit road stuff I don't recall as the situation in the room was heating up but perhaps that move may have been the 5 lap thing. In any event, the race was fun to watch and its being replayed Wednesday at noon on speed perhaps i'll throw it on a disk.

I have to ask... How is it considered bump-drafting if the car behind hits them in the corner? Is it considered bump-drafting if they hit someone in the middle of the corner at Bristol or Martinsville? He didn't bump-draft Stremme at all. He hit Stremme multiple times coming off the corner then proceded to pass him after the corner. I would have liked to see the camera above RG's car and Stremme's car to see how sideways he was after those hits.

Sorry bump-drafting to me is like saying ROVAL and TTCOT.... You can get the draft on the straightaways, but it is all about momentum in the corner.

Bump drafting as in sarcastic remark. Hitin' him in the ass and pressing him a bit .........if it was an attempt at wrecking him he would have moved his tail for him one way or the other......needless to say if you watch races as a weekly hobby you would know that the ASS PRESS is a form of racing language, thus the commentary goes
"some bump drafting" sarcasticly not literaly. That being said hope to see some site members in line at the trailer I take it it will be at the Glen.
