I have to disagree.

If you remember, in the closing laps, Kevin Harvick had a super fast car. He ran down 5 or 6 cars before he got underneath Junior to make the pass. If Junior would have bumped Harvick and turned him sideways, it would have left the door open for Kyle to pass them. Junior's car was not fast enough to pass Harvick. You can't find speed. I believe Junior made the right decision and raced clean.

It's also worth noting, Junior didn't have a problem being aggressive with Kyle Busch. He used his bumper twice on Kyle to loosen him and make a pass in the closing laps. At that point, Junior had a faster car.

Jimmie Johnson found himself in the same situation in Fontana last week. Kyle Busch dominated the race. But in the end, Harvick had the fastest car. Actually, Johnson was leading, when Harvick bumped him loose, and passed him on the lead. Johnson also made the right call -- instead of wrecking Harvick, he raced him clean.

In case you missed the race on Saturday, Johnny Sauter bumped Kyle Busch, passed him on the last one or two laps of the race. Instead of wrecking Sauter, I'm (finally) happy to report, Busch raced him clean and came in second.

Drivers really want to win the championship. Drivers realize it's about points, staying focused and having patience. Just ask JimiJo... lol
