Honestly people like kyle or not. He has made racing alot more interesting to watch.. Kyle did not do anything different than what any other driver would not had done. No one came down on Carl edwards like this for the block he put on kesolosky,and the wreck he caused at dega

The wreck Saturday night and at Talladega have a lot of similar moves involved and similar end results. The leader blocking got punted, or moved out of the way.
Going back to the autumn race at Talladega last year, everything there was in place for the same result too, except Regan Smith didn't counter the block, and decided to race below the yellow line.
If Smith had countered, he'd have drilled Stewart in the left rear quarter panel sending him into a wreck like Busch at Daytona, and Edwards at Talladega.
I think while it's the drivers that make the moves, it's the situation presented to them that leads to the wreck.
Win or wreck? A driver within eyesight of the checkers with a chance to win doesn't contemplate anything. He goes for the win as he did for the entire race.
