Overly dramatic much?

Talladega exposes dark side of racing | www.thatsracin.com:

Jim Utter from That's Racin' seems infatuated with this whole "team orders" thing from the past weekend's Talladega race. Although it's been denied, it appears Ford drivers were told to work only with other Ford drivers, as they're in a tight points battle.

What is so shocking about this?

The tandem racing at Talladega is a ridiculous result of the rules in place. The fact that drivers need to work in pairs -- not just in packs, but pairs -- creates a fertile situation for this.

And frankly, it's about time the make of the car mattered. The Ford vs. Chevy debate used to mean something, but with the cars all looking the same, it's come to mean very little.

So I think it's nice to see drivers showing loyalty to the badge on the car.
