"I know it's no big deal".... let me ask you a question.... if you were paying $15million to have your name on the side of a race car, how would you feel if that driver 'just let him pass to collect five points?'
In F-1 I can see it because in that sport, team cars are all sponsored by the same company. In NASCAR they aren't and that means each team should run independentyly and allowing a team mate to pass just to collect a higher finishing spot is slapping the sponsor in the face.
I'll tell you, I lost any respect that I had for Greg Biffle and if it really was team orders, for Jack Roush too.
Remember when Robby Gordon wrecked Mike Skinner at Bristol a few years ago. Over the radio the dumbass said, "I thought we needed a caution so I got us one." What Biffle did was no better. After that race Richard Childress took Gordon aside and had a word with him. Someone needs to have that same talk with Biffle and Roush.
What they did isn't racing. Its just wrong.
