Cars are not fists, racing isn’t boxing

By admin | June 29, 2007

I was reading the comments of Mr. Tim Tuttle and I have to say I agree. NASCAR must protect drivers and pit crews from other drivers that think their cars are an extension of their fists. The consequence of not doing so are too severe to imagine.

In my opinion, there is no reason why Kurt Busch was not suspended when he nearly hit Tony Stewarts jackman Jason Lee.

“There was almost hitting a guy on pit road versus actual,” Busch said. “That’s still what needs to be separated here.”

That is one of the more inane explanations I have ever heard. It’s on par with Paris Hilton’s, ‘My people didn’t tell me I couldn’t drive’ when she explained why she was driving on a suspended license. The potential is more than enough reason.

Ted Musgrave and the Craftsman Truck Series may have been used as example, but I think it’s time to stop with example and start making actions. There should be no maybes or silly excuses. Paris Hilton isn’t on the track professionals are, and they need to act like it.
