According to Said, Biffle tried to throw a few “baby punches”
The typical NASCAR fight is a handbag affair
It’s a reference to a fight between two women who do nothing more than pummel canada goose outlet nyc each other with their purses.
Long gone are the days when a driver would canada goose outlet uk grab a wrench and go find the guy who did him wrong.
Gone are the days when Wendell Scott carried a pistol with him during Canada Goose sale a race to warn off a white driver who didn’t think a black driver belonged in NASCAR.
Those were the days before TV covered every race live, before every fan walking around the garage had a cellphone camera, before drivers had tricked out canada goose outlet parka motorhomes to hid out in until tempers had cooled.
These days an old fashioned garage brawl would be on YouTube canada goose outlet uk sale cheap canada goose before the confetti Canada Goose Parka is swept up in Victory Lane.
Monday’s “fight” between Boris Said and Greg Biffle is typical.
Biffle had a beef with Boris and confronted him in the garage area after the race. According to Said, Biffle tried to throw a few “baby punches” through the car window.
Said climbed out of his car and Biffle retreated behind canada goose outlet online https://www.drachen-spiele.de uk a phalanx of crew members, which was probably a wise decision. Biffle would give up about 50 pounds and several inches in any fight with Said.
There are some drivers who have to be anchored down canada goose outlet canada Canada Goose online in a stiff wind, canada goose clearance sale but canada goose outlet reviews Said isn’t one of them.
So there was a lot of jaw canada goose outlet black friday action but not much else. To paraphrase Shakespeare, canada goose coats on sale canada goose jacket outlet it was a truckload of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Right after the race, Said was asking somebody to send him Biffle’s home address so he could hand deliver a “whooping” and vowing he’d find Biffle eventually. By Tuesday, everyone presumably had watched the replay for the 34th time and realized they looked like horses’ rear ends and Biffle and Said talked on the phone.
Many a NASCAR “brawl” canada goose canadian goose jacket outlet in usa has ended the next day on canada goose outlet toronto factory the telephone. A few linger on.
Kyle Busch isn’t likely to share a six pack of Bud with Kevin Harvick any canada goose uk outlet time soon. And Jimmie Johnson and Kurt Busch won’t be swapping advice on the best way to make the car turn in a tricky corner.
But nobody ever gets hurt unless you count pride Canada Goose Jackets and dignity.
There’s too much at stake in the way of sponsorships and careers for anyone to actually put an honest to God, whoopin’ on anyone else.
And NASCAR likely would draw a line. “Boys Have At It” doesn’t mean “Boys Whoop Each Other.”
NASCAR President Mike Helton said there would be no penalties for Said and Biffle.
Seriously, what’s there cheap canada goose to penalize? A few “baby punches” from Biffle? Bravado from Boris? Please.
But a good handbags fight makes for good TV. And it gives the NASCAR haters on talk radio a chance to play banjo music while yucking it up with redneck jokes.
