This is not on the Cup leveland I do not know her name but there was a 4'-9 snaggelled toothed fat galat a N.C. dirt track one night 30 years ago that needs to be on a list like this. She had to be restrained from kicking our race car as it lay disabled against the wall. She was doing more damage than the crash as she was working her way along the car toward my brother. I was glad when her friends stopper her as I was thelast one between her and brother.
Guess we are from the "really old school of racing' since we can remember the track having an automatic fine for fighting. Everyone knew it, even the fans in the stands. We have seen drivers take up money, between themselves in thepits,to pay a fine if the accused driver hit a driver they had wanted to hit themselves. Have also seen fans take up money in the stands to pay a drivers fine, if the driver deliberately wrecked another driver, disliked by the fans. One of those incidents happened at Columbia Speedway, the other being further back than that, at a track know by Nascar as an "Outlaw" track.
Do you believe there are enough drivers and fans, who dislike Busch enough, to chip in on Richard'sfine?????
The difference of now compared to "then". When I raced...and Johnny I know it was true when you raced....we all knew we when we entered the pits we were subject to "engage"...or be "engaged" in physical contact of sorts "off the track." Some on this site have called that barbaric. Barbaric as it was...if you may call it that...it was fact and has been part of the make-up of auto racing since the beginning.
At one of my regular tracks (Volunteer Speedway)...back in the day...one was subject to a $500.00 fine for fighting outside your pits. Think about the logic. Made sense to us then. So if neither Kyle or Richard were in their respective pits...by this rule they both would be fined and would be back to racing. And one or the other would know better how to govern themselves at the track. Or at least they would have a better understanding of the consequences. (ie...headlock...fine...etc).
I realize NASCAR can't let this go without doing something. I just think they should levy the fine and go racing.
What's wrong with that?
