A quick note regarding the Texas review

I forgot, in my haste and amidst other happenings, completley about the Gilliland/Montoya wreck at Texas. A reminder: Basically David Gilliland was a lap dow, Juan Pablo Montoya was running tenth. Montoya was having trouble passing the #38 Fusion, a lap car, and bumped and nudged him a bit - in my opinion there is nothing wrong with moving a lapped car if you're on the lead lap. What I do have a major problem with is what happened following that. Coming on to the backstretch Gilliland takes a hard left into Montoya's right rear quarter panel. Now, Gilliland said he was just trying to get back behind Montoya but misjudged and hit Montoya. If he misjudged, he did it by quite a bit, two feet or so. The 42 Texaco Dodge was done for the night, after a hard and somewhat frightening impact with the outside barrier. NASCAR decided to park the 38 with no further penalties. That's the real shame here, is yes, NASCAR needs to let their competitors have flair and emotion, but when something is that blatant and dangerous, there should have at very least been a stiff fine, if not a point deduction. I am not really a fan of Juan Pablo Montoya, he's taken out my drivers numerous times, and I don't mind seeing him have a bad day. However, I don't want to see anyone get hurt, or worse, and what Gilliland did was flat out stupid. The main reason NASCAR makes rules is for safety, and I am still concerned why Gilliland was not penalized beyond what took place that night at Texas Motor Speedway.
