I think theres some TMZ drama behind the scenes with these two (besides Kennys takeout attempt). But yeah no for sure, to much butthurt.

The 'finger gun' is not bad, but it's not butt hurt either.
What it did display though was disrespect and a childish self righteous attitude. It's Webb's personality that people don't like, not his riding or or race mentality, which are awesome and can only be admired. It's just a shame he comes across as not very likeable.

To be clear, I like the "finger gun/pistol". I think the slow motion replay of that was awesome. What I don't like is someone who isn't genuine. His actions on the track contradict who he is pretending to be on the podium.

In my opinion, for what it's worth, I think Cooper should own persona in the sport. There is room for a little drama in the sport and it makes things way more interesting.

Maybe I wasn’t clear on the butthurt part. Too many people here and other forms of social outlets are way to butthurt over this shit. Me? Don’t really shiv a get.

I can't speak for anyone else but it just seemed dumb cause he'd done 'nothing' in the 450 class up until that point, and considering it was 'just' a triple crown race as well.. and he's all got ya buddy to a dude that had done way more in the class at that point.. Then to claim it was just a thumbs up for a good race in the post race presser?! Lame

Just no high road in him
