    Every driver against Bobby. And I’ll take the over/under on Bobby.

    My next pick would be Turbo

      I wouldn't want to mess with Kyle Bronson. That "Killer" nickname would scare me if I was a driver and he was coming after me. 😯

        The NASCAR "fight" was a bit of a joke. Do these guys actually, really, truly want to go hands on and fight? No, I doubt it. Most NASCAR drivers are little runts nowadays. They are surrounded by teams and their pit crews are made up of athletes, ex college football players and that sort. So yeah, talk a good game of smack while walled off with all that human tissue standing around and I doubt we would ever see an actual "fight". The last guys I can think of in NASCAR who would probably put up a real good fight - Ryan Newman and Jimmy Spencer. Even Earnhardt Sr was surrounded by his goons so I wouldn't put him in there.

        Hocevar isn't really a runt tho, he's very tall and skinny as a rail. So Hocevar has really good reach compared to probably every other driver in the NASCAR garage area. When Blaney confronted him, he sure landed one with that good reach. Then Blaney got held for the next one so, they really didn't go at it all that much. But I'll say this. In a way, NASCAR needed this. They need some emotion brought back to the event. I'll bet it brings some eyes back to the TV going forward. On track paybacks are really hard now because NASCAR has all that telemetry on the cars. They can tell if you're in the throttle, on the brake, or even what the steering input is. So dumping someone on track intentionally will probably get you parked like when Kenseth intentionally dumped Logano a few years ago.

        Wanna do something really fun and interesting? Put them in a ring, or an octagon (MMA style) and do it for charity. Lots of people like to talk fight, but really not too many have been in a good one.
        Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

          The younger generation wasn't taught to do much more than mouth off with their "gang" behind them or whine on Social Media (Where did that name come from?). It was nice to see Ryan Blaney be willing to stand up for the bad manners he believed Hocevar was guilty of.
