Attack Of The Killer Tweets

Ugh!!!  Where have all the real men gone in NASCAR.  It used to be if two drivers had a beef at Bristol,  they'd settle it with some pushing and shoving, some fisticuffs, and maybe an occasional poke here and there.  At the very least, somebody would get a water bottle bounced off their skull.  Today, however, is a new day and this ain't your Daddy's NASCAR.  Today's drivers slug it out using verbal judo and their smart phones, as witnessed after the Food City 500 today:

Heck even Hamlin's spotter, Chris Lambert is getting in on cyber tomfoolery, whipping up the passions of Brad Keselowski fans, (how'd they drag him into this?).

@keselowski-I got a great idea, quit playing games on restarts. Known for it, just ask around to your peers.Even us lowly spotters know it!

Heck, even the milk and cookies poster boy, Jeff Gordon bypassed formal salutations and gave healthy shoves to Matt Kenseth and Jeff Burton, when he felt they wronged him on the track.  Can you imagine Chocolate Myers, back in the day, running up to Ricky Rudd's crew at North Wilkesboro and saying, "You guys made me really angry today, and I'm gonna send some really mean tweets about you when I get home."  Now let's go racin'!!!
