So how on earth can you make multiple incomplete slide jobs bouncing off of the leader and rip into the guy you almost crashed from the podium.  Multiple dick moves by McFadden.  Certainly poor representation for the team.  His team mate races clean.  How could use a lesson.  However with the lousy attitude what the guy needs is a one way ticket to Australia.  Hope he is a quick learner before Bristol.  Karma is a bitch.

Yeah cause Macedo has such a great reputation as a clean driver. Not saying James was innocent last night but Macedo has been a weapon for years.

I would not get to bent out of shape over it.  I do not know what the deal was about, but McFadden does not always drive like that.  Did something happen berween 2 cars earler in racw we do not know about?  McFadden is a good driver and I doubt if he gets fired

I think McFadden was pissed that he got chopped so hard that he stalled the engine.  After that he might have thought  he'd get some racing room and he didn't feel like he got any respect.  What you see from the grandstand does always look the same in the car.  

Macedo is a borderline dirty driver. A lot of the young guys are too aggressive when they start out but calm down over time. 

I agree with your take on Macedo and some other younger drivers. Its a shame that those drivers cost a lot of teams a butt load of money before they calm down.

Very true on Macedo.

How does Macedo cost the team money when he gives them 300k to drive.

Try reading my post again, a little comprehension goes a long way sometimes. Macedo cost a lot of teams $$$$ not just his own. Maybe you have taken my post out of context.  smh.

If you want to win in Calif you have to be aggressive or your in the back !!!!!!

I think the sensitivity needs to be turned down a little bit. Just rewatched the highlights and really did not see McFadden do anything that would be justified as a "d**k" move. He tried some sliders and could not complete the pass but no contact was made with those sliders. Was it close, yes. As far the bouncing off the leader, it appeared that Carson came down just as much to cause the contact than McFadden came up. Plus its a split second decision and if McFadden really wanted to pull a "d**k" move he could have stayed in it and spun Carson out there. As far as the comments, like we have never ever heard 1 driver bad mouthing another driver. Both are good drivers, as others have said Carson it there on the edge of being an overly agressive driver at times and he was being just as agressive as McFadden. And with how McFadden has been running and finishing I doubt he is going to be getting a one way ticket back to Austrialia. Results are what matters and he is getting results right now.

Short track racing at it finest.The WOO drivers are very good and are paid to win. Typical in the heat of the moment comment.Both in top equiptment and as good as Sweet and Sheldon are running need to take advantage of good starting spot

You should watch the post interview races. Macedo got as close as he could to apologizing for racing dirty. McFadden called him out and used the term dickhead. 

That said, both guys were smiling and talking after the podium. I think fans tend to let their emotions get the best of them more than the drivers do. 

I watched the replay a couple times and the race live. McFadden simply got out foxed on the pass. Macedo did a great job of coming down and going low coming out of the 4th turn on the white flag lap. ( By the way that looked like a Kyle Larson move) He did the right thing going to the bottom in turn 1 and 2 and taking the fast line. I think Mcfadden thought he had it won and Macedo simply out smarted him and passed him. Mcfadden ran into Macedo maybe trying to punt him out of theway becaused Macedo smoked him. Mcfadden better watch running into people like that. or he might just get it right back.  He is sure getting a big head since they gave him the keys to the 9 car. Go Macedo. 

Please tell us all where in the video he made contact with Macedo with "slide jobs bouncing off the leader"? I just watched it for a third time and didn't see anything other than hard racing.

I agree.
These internet warriors commenting like he put Carson over the wall or something. Left racing room each time (very minimum car width) and never made contact until the last lapwhich was unfortunate. 
If James didn't mention it during the post race interview, everyone would be praising them for a good hard race. But a bunch of people online getting emotional over the comments that were made has taken away the specticle that we all witnessed.
