When we run into coworkers’ cars, we’re ticketed for causing an accident and have to complete a conflict resolution session. When Gordon and Bowyer do it, it’s fun and entertaining. The very definition of a double-standard.

Kudos to the NASCAR on FOX team for capturing contact in slow-mo, just as if we’re watching an actual Cup Series production.
