Spotter's Stand: Does 'Boys, Have at It' Include Texas Tussle?

NASCAR had itself a day of resurrection Sunday in the drama department at Texas Motor Speedway.

Kyle Busch showed his, uh, displeasure with a NASCAR official. Jimmie Johnson's crew chief Chad Knaus gave NASCAR's weekly talking heads a shot in the arm by abandoning his pit crew mid-race. Denny Hamlin became the first guy in five years not named Jimmie to be leading the Chase with two races left.

Lastly, the sport saw two of its veteran stars go toe-to-toe in a brief hockey-like moment in the Lone Star State. Yep, four-time champion Jeff Gordon took several unabashed lunges and swings at longtime series staple Jeff Burton.

Gordon didn't connect terribly well in all of his flailing, and Burton emerged unscathed -- though maybe a bit more emboldened to try Gordon in the boxing ring sometime in the future.
