PHOENIX
So this Brad Keselowski-Denny Hamlin thing has gotten more than a little out of hand.
After Keselowski spun out Hamlin in Saturday's Nationwide race, Hamlin vowed he'd take revenge next weekend at Homestead.
Keselowski, a Cup tour rookie now full-time for Roger Penske, has had a number of encounters with Hamlin in Saturday races, beginning over a year ago. This season they had another run-in at Dover.
So Sunday, before the Phoenix 500, NASCAR officials brought Keselowski into their hauler for a talking to about his aggressive driving.
Hamlin hasn't been shy about complaining about Keselowski. But this time he went further: "He spun us. I can sit here and bash him for the next 20 seconds or so and give you all a bunch of sound bites and everything, but I'm just happy I signed up for next week's Nationwide race.
"There are a lot of guys that owe him. There are a lot of guys that have a lot of chips they're going to cash in…and I'm just going to be the first at the pay window.
"I'll take care of him; it's no biggie. He'll learn the hard way.
"I run these (Nationwide) races for fun, and he's in it trying to get second in the points. I'm just going to do my job, and if the opportunity arises I'm going to handle the situation the way I should -- and the way anybody else would."

Settle it like men
Stop all the pissy comments to reporters. Stop wrecking cars that someone else has to fix (and pay for). Find a quiet little spot away from the cameras. Don't come out until someone has a black eye or a bloody lip, then go have a couple beers together and get over it.
