GOING IT ALONE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR
Current NASCAR
Just another observation of where the sport has gone. Like many of the commentaries I've been hearing of late from all those involved in NASCAR. Neither one of these gentlemen mentioned the fans. Yes, Kyle mentioned his peers...I got the feeling he was talking about fellow drivers. Pay attention and note how many times the fans are considered these days. You almost never hear Brian France mention them and so many others have forgotten the impact the fans have on this sport.
FROM THE PAST and on to THE FUTURE
Current NASCAR
I certainly respect all opinions. And I love the fact that fans stand beside their driver in tough times. I also recognize the driving talents of KB. But have to ask...JM, If this incident had seriously injured Ron Hornaday...or worse taken his life, would you still feel the same way? It could have happened had we not lost Dale Earnhardt in a similar impact, which of course led to safer equipment to help prevent injury in those circumstances. To me on-track rubbin, beatin, and bangin...especially on a short track..is a totally different thing than turning a guy into the wall under caution at the speed they were traveling. That showed a definite lack of respect for safety and life and cannot be tolerated. As stated in other posts, he has done other border-line acts in the past that endangered other people.
Yes, racing is dangerous. But using a car as a weapon has never been acceptable. I still say...as barbaric (I've been told) as it sounds...the sport has been cleaned up so much that these guys don't have to worry about getting their butt's kicked. If KB knew he would have to suffer the wrath of a Tiny Lund...or Jimmy Spencer...he would act differently behind the wheel. My guess is Ron Hornaday could change his attitude with a few minutes of "physical therapy".
TONIGHT ON RACIN' THROUGH HISTORY
Administrative
The Legend has so far pissed of the state of California and the whole country of Canada. I suppose we can chalk off Nevada after tonight...isn't where the shrubs are from? Bring it on...you curmudgeon commentator.

The biggest difference between Carl and Brad's deal and this one is... this was done under caution. "The excuse...or reason "it was a racin deal" cannot apply. There is not room for potential judgmental error on NASCAR's part. Black and white here.
