NASCAR's definition of "aggressive" driving
Aug 23, 2007 | 1:01AM | report this

What the hell do people mean when they throw out the word "aggressive"?

It seems that when ever a driver in NASCAR feels th need to ram someone out of the way he is called "aggressive". One driver who has been talked about lately is Juan Pablo Montoya who talked about respect in NASCAR on the new ABC show in primetime. He defines aggressive as a driver using his car as a weapon other wise the guy is just racing you hard. Well it seems that Juan Pablo has been way too aggressive because other drivers in NASCAR have been complaining about his driving style and have responded to his driving by showing him how drivers retaliate in this series. Maybe Juan got to used to having people throw themselves at his feet, but he has to understand that to get respect you must earn it. Being the best driver in F1 and IRL isn't going to do much for a guy wanting to get his feet wet in NASCAR. I have nothing against the guy, but if he's going to race people hard he has to learn to get it in return. NASCAR is considered the best series in motorsports where the best drivers come to prove themselves, but the greats did it with class and dominance (not by pissing the best in the sport off). He is no longer the best in the field of 43 cars and he has to understand that there are 42 other drivers that are as talented as he is. The point is that he has to learn to give and take. When he doesn't have the best car he has to let those who do pass. Making enemy's is not going to win him 7 titles, but a bunch of DNF's courtesy of Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart. If he is as talented as people think then he should let his talent do the talking and not add fuel to the fire by mouthing off to reporters once the race is over. Hey even Dale Earnhardt knew when to turn off the intimidator side of himself.

Tell me what you think about aggressive driving or Juan Pablo Montoya.
