Pemberton is a liar. There is a double standard for NASCAR's chosen ones.
Last week in Talladega, Danica pulled a hissy fit when she decided to slam Sam Hornish into the wall on the checkered flag. In the post-race interview, Hornish said that he slid up the track in front of Danica's car because he had a tire going down.
“At the end of the day, we were trying to get a good finish and I got hit in the rear and got into the 87 (Joe Nemechek). It cut the right front tire; it didn’t cut it down, but it started going flat. Coming off four, the tire went flat."
The controversy started because many expected Danica to be black flagged and called to the red trailer and punished for her actions. No penalties were handed down, many voiced their outrage that there seems to be a double standard regarding Danica and NASCAR's chosen ones.
Interesting!
