NASCAR Driver Tony Stewart Runs Over a Guy

Just when I was about to have a modicum of sympathy for that fat asshole, he purposefully drives his car into something/someone else....again.

He's now proved to me one-hundred percent that he can't keep his temper in check, even after crying on TV after squashing that kid. I am still fully convinced he gassed his sprint car too.

So, Kesolowski flies up to him after the race trying to hit someone else (Kenseth) and bumps him accidentally. The same guy bumped 2 other people before that after the race, another 2 after Stewart, almost hit a pit crew and sent a transmission flying through the pits.

Pretty much hit everything BUT the pace car after the race.


Yup, Stewart's the bad guy here.



Funny how he knew he was in trouble though and tried to back away from Stewart.
 
Keslowski is a piece of crap too and deserved the ass kicking that Kenseth gave him. But even if Stewart was in the right, he should have enough common sense and self control to NOT strike something with his car, having recently beat a potential manslaughter rap for you know, striking something with his car.

NASCAR: The WWE of motorsports. :rofl
 
hotheaded jocks are going to do what hotheaded jocks are coded to do.

there is no changing this. you can only protect their actions through justifying them in the name of 'sport' and smearing their victims names with drug allegations.
 
No different from everyday road rage...

So what makes it OK to smash your car into the guy behind you ? The "I'll show you" attitude, with no respect for the series or others, it could have been a accident, brake failure or anything.

to me it shows that his causing the death of Ward and the lack of consequences that resulted - he truly feels he had zero fault in it

this sport won't change until someone is held liable for their actions.

The sport won't change until they stop making money with the status quo.

The sport won't change unless they get a new script writer.

I don't know where you're commuting, but around here the everyday road rage is cutting off and flipping the bird, not eyes rolling in the back of the head and derby rage smashing.

Nah. It's the end of the race, emotions are at a crescendo and everything that's happened over the last 4 hours is culminating at the end. Tony's had a TON of pressure in the last few months...after Kezowlski pounded into him (and Tony's buddy), Tony did what any other Nascar driver would do...and don't forget, these guys dump each other into the wall many times, just to get by. The ol' bump-n-run is as old as the automobile is and happens in any sport. Running into a guy at 20 mph is nothing in the grand scheme of auto racing...hence the reason he did it.

Now running into guys at pace (200+ depending on the track) IS a serious thing...and yet, no one here is talking about that. I actually don't expect much calm after some of these races...at the end of a controversial race, your emotions are simply out of control. It's easy to say "control your emotions", but it's a far harder act to do just that. Fight/ flight is running full bore on overtime...so yeah, it's pretty normal to see various acts of insanity at the end.

As you know Matt, "that's racing". And it's why people are addicted to doing it. If you're not wound up at the end, you're missing the whole experience, IMO.

If no one owned their own cars, it'd be just like Nascar....

truncated just because -

Agreed - I just don't see the penalties (negative reinforcement) being applied to help mitigate the risks or don't see them being effective at it, and that was the gist of my comment.

In the AFM, if 2-3 racers got into fisticuffs, would penalties be received? Would intentional contact on the track, in the hot pits, in the pits be enough to draw a penalty?

What would the severity of the penalty be in regards to the infraction? Is it sufficient to reinforce the concept that the behavior is not appropriate?
