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".

NASCAR Fines Kyle Busch; Places Him On Probation For Remainder Of Year:

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.

Did you notice his crew chief...or spotter...yelling at him to get off him as he was turning him.
A Wonderful Day at Occoneechee / Orange Speedway Celebration Saturday
General
Dave,
Thanks for posting about your experience at occoneechee. The HSG is an awesome bunch who have...and continue to do an awesome job with that event. It has been one of my favorites since going there the first time about 4 years ago.
Getting home from my trip late Friday night and nursing a sore throat has kept me away from this year's event. I truly miss being there. It is always great to read about other's experiences.
Thanks very much for supporting our friends, the Historic Speedway Group at Occoneechee. I can't wait to see the pictures and hear the interviews from there.
