I was happy to see he didn't blame Keselowski, but his comment that they will "race like this until we kill somebody, then Nascar will change it" was a bit over the top.

It wasn't the governing body's fault that he didn't keep a straight path and ended up airborne. His failed attempt to block is what did him in.

It's up to the drivers to stop ramming into each other at 200mph, not Nascar. If they do step in, it would just be another attempt to slow them down, which would bunch up the pack even more.

They really need to switch to polytrack to keep these cars safe.
