Good for the AMA! and I like the fine money going to buy airfence.
No doubt about the future, No regrets about the past!
Wow. Eslick can pull shit at the end of last year and get nothing, while Herrin makes a pass and bumps someone's brake (to me it looked accidental, the brake, not the coming back down) and get suspended?

I agree with Wicky for the most part. I think Herrin was weaving back and forth excessively coming into the tri-oval but I don't think his intentions were anywhere near as negative as Eslick's riding last year that went unpunished.

You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

True, Herrin was weaving excessively a bit at the end, but if you watch earlier, it seems Westby was also weaving into him a couple of times prior to Herrin coming down.
If Checa can torpedo Neurkirchner and give him a broken arm without penalty, I would think Herrin should not have either. I just think it was a racing incident... Not sure what this solves...
