Lets start at the top.
Even if he was blocking, which is entirely debateable to everyone and im sure if you ask 10 guys you'll get 10 answers, it was within the last few laps of a restrictor plate race. With your exception being noted, I'd love to know of any other guy that isn't going to make his bumper 50 feet wide with 3 or so laps to go while running in the top 5. I'm willing to bet if we ask 100 people, 97 of them are going to say "Hell yea I'm making it 50 feet wide!". So I really dont see a problem here. Now if it was lap 3, and not 3 to go, then yea, we have an issue. But inside of 10 to go, all bets are off IMHO.
Second, was it smart of him to tell everyone he didnt want landon to win and would do anything in his power to stop it? No. I thought it was stupid. I've felt that way about a lot of people here, that if i was in front of them with 5 to go I'm never letting them pass me, even if I take us both out to do it. But no way would I ever say it out loud and especially over a common channel. However, with that said, he did nothing wrong IMHO, and I know the other two admins in the booth with me at the time (Hie and pat) agree as we discussed it immediately following the race. I cant speak for hte other admins of the league, as they were not privy to our conversation, but I'm pretty sure they'll agree that while it was retarded, and probably in bad taste, it was not wrong for him to say it or act on it (see part 1). All I can say is i hope he uses some better judgement with his words next time so we dont have any issues, but thats all.
And in regards to the other 20 teammates thing, you read what I wrote wrong, and I think thats my fault. I meant as in "We dont call it blocking but you guys do", not your entire team blocks. Miswording on my part, probably could have said it better.
