NASCAR should penalize Stewart

I think Stewart deliberatly pushing Gordon into the pit wall after the race was a terrible show of poor sportsmanship. He was mad because he and Gordon made contact in the last turn on the last lap which resulted in him spinning out. In my opinion he was the one who caused the contact in the first place and for him to push Gordon into the wall after the race is just flat wrong. NASCAR should in some way penalize him to not do so is condoning his action.

EDIT: According to NASCAR.com Stewart is facing possible fines

I think he should be suspended.

Don't watch NASCAR; but that sounds like a crappy thing to do.

About like Cheevers spinning out the Intimidator in the formula cars. Dale would have punched him out I bet if it wouldn't have been on camera. I missed the last half of the race so I didn't see it but I will try to find some footage.

For thos that didn't see it they were on the last lap Stewart and Gordon were fighting for 4th place with Stewart in front Gordon got underneith him the nose of his car was about even with the rear of Stewart's door. Stewart tried to come down and close the door and hit the nose of Gordon's car sending Stewart spinning. Gordon got 4th Stewart got 20 something then after when they were on pit road Stewart drove up behind Gordon and pushed him into the wall and spun him around.

When I play N4, I drive Gordon's car. He's my fav driver. I challange anybody to put me in the wall during a race. Most people could do it, but they always get stuck on the part where they have to catch me...
