Wreck of the week: Crafton's black-flag move on Hornaday

Word on the street is that if you want good old-fashioned racing action, you need to move a couple notches down from Sprint Cup and check out the truck series. Here's a good reason why -- check this little wreck involving Matt Crafton, Ron Hornaday Jr. and a few other folks. Crafton and Hornaday are battling for the lead, not just in this particular race but in the overall points standings. Hornaday's got the lead, but lo and behold, look what Crafton does:  

Check out the 33 crew's reaction! That is flat-out awesome there, and they should have let both crews go at it. That's some fine racing there, and when you've got the first- and second-place guys hating each other, you've got a recipe for a delicious rivalry stew. Compare that to Sprint Cup, where Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson are more likely to share a plate of buffalo wings than come to blows. Bravo, truck series!
