Tempers, Suspensions and Losing Driving Championships

I'm sure a lot of folks remember Kevin Harvick being suspended from driving a Cup race after antics during a Truck Series event.

How many of you remember when Jack Ingram's temper at a weekly event got him suspended by NASCAR for two races of the 1986 Busch Series, resulting in the Championship being won by Larry Pearson.

Several years ago our RR member Jay Coker posted the video below on YouTube. I had completely forgotten this.

Thanks for the mention Dave

I remember hearing about this when it happened, but I never, to my knowledge, saw a video until this clip. I can't remember what it was that irked The Ironman so much but it must have really been a dilly.

The race this footage originated from was aired on USA Network. TBS covered the Cup race that weekend at Rockingham, but they used USA to air the Grand National race. My best guess is that it was a segment prepared from the old Motorweek Illustrated program that Dave Despain used to host on TBS on the weekends back in the 80s, thus why Bob Varsha is reporting.

Thanks, Dennis.
