They don't push Scott Speed around like they do Logano? You know why?
In 2008, in an ARCA race, another championship contender (Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.) wrecked Scott Speed in a battle for position and for the championship. Scott Speed wrecked him the very next chance he had. He blatantly put Stenhouse in the wall and said so. He said he was not going to let guys push him around, that he was making a statement and that he wasn't gonna let Stenhouse win the championship after that.
The difference between Scotty and Carl is, Scott did it on a short track (Toledo), and Scott Speed was penalized (though I think ARCA penalized him more for his "it's just ARCA" comments that his actual actions).
NASCAR's taken the policy that they wanna be more like ARCA, so Joey should have nothing to be afraid of.
