Surprised Robby wasn't suspended and fined? He could face jail & a fine. Not a good move by RG.

I hate to see this happen, but Robby needs to be much more careful in his interactions. No matter that he is a wuss and a weasel, Conway is not worth this in any way shape or form! Look at all the attention the 'poor baby' is getting. And he is going to keep on bashing Robby til he gets his measly ROTY money. I say give it to him and get him out of your life for good! Focus on racing and winning, not on losers like Conway!

Robby, lay off the Speed Energy drinks at the track, you don't need to be any more hyped up than your normal self :-).

Did Edwards get anything for choking Harvick in the garage?

The Edwards-Harvick and the Edwards-Kenseth (interview scuffle) incidents are the most comparable examples.

Granted these two events stemmed from racing incidents, they did not take place immediately or shortly after the incident happened.

They happened well after cooler heads should have prevailed and were done where the participants were well aware and in control of their actions...

What did Spencer say?
