Official NASCAR thread???

Understood Don as that didn't seem to be the Don that I know. I know that I type up a lot of things, moreso lately that I later regret putting anywhere online. I've pissed off a lot of people lately by being brutally honest with my 2 cents in voicing my opinion on matters.

No, it wasn't the brightest of moves on his behalf but he's probably seen it done by many Cup racers. Those guys usually don't pull that stunt until after the safety crew arrives, the cars already slowed and in a single file.

There are people looking into everything. Just because is wasn't a NASCAR sanctioned race you can bet that they are looking at it also along with every other auto racing sanctioning body. The fines will increase along with anything else in the book that they can throw at them. It's already in the NASCAR rulebook but they'll modify it even more now.

Like I mentioned earlier the media is wasted no time whipping this up into frenzy, hot off the AP wire 45 minutes ago-

Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero, who announced on Tuesday that the investigation is continuing, has said that his initial findings have turned up nothing that would indicate criminal intent in the crash at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park.

But legal experts agree that does not mean Stewart is in the clear.

The NASCAR star could be charged with second-degree manslaughter under New York law if prosecutors believe he "recklessly caused the death of another person," with negligent homicide another possibility, according to criminal law professor Corey Rayburn Yung of the Kansas University School of Law. "The question over whether someone was reckless is a factual one, and one a prosecutor might let a jury decide," said Yung, who also posts at the Concurring Opinion blog.

Keep in mind also that the family can serve him with a civil lawsuit for wrongful death. I'm sure they've got lawyers knocking on their doors. Tony's guesstimated worth; $70 Mill.

Kyle Busch is racing tomorrow night at out local oval track and Matt Kenseth will be there crewing for his son. The media has already been told not to ask any questions in regard to what happened Saturday night.

Ron, you made a really good point. I know that any of my cameras from cell phone to my DSLR can't pick up anything good in dim light.

Hey Truex. What did you and Kyle Bush talk about.

 

[Ron Olson]

Hey Truex. What did you and Kyle Bush talk about.

Martin was probably setting up a fishing date with him. Kyle gets to hold the anchor.

 

[Ray Sametz]

How bout that kid Cole Custer, 16 years old wins at Truck race.

 

[El Zorro]

I saw that. I guess the younger they are the hungrier they are. One to watch in the future!

 

[seaducerpete]

Read on face book that kevin ward was under the influance of pot when he was hit thank god they are not filing charges against Tony

 

[Andy Greene]

JR. Certainly is making this much harder than it needs to be to stay alive- looking like a MUST win or top 3 at Talladega to stay alive at this point.

On a lighter note , Martin is having one heck of a night so far. Go MTJ

 

[Andy Greene]

After that conversation between Chad and Jimmy the writing is on the wall about next year- WOW ..............

 

[Ron Olson]

Man, I thought that after Saturday night at Charlotte this thread would have been busy!

Tune in Sunday kids for more fun and excitement at `dega like the race really needed any more.

Bad Brad rattled too many cages Saturday night. We got the old Smoke back!

 

[Ray Sametz]

It's laughable, they fight like a bunch of girls.

Throw a punch for god sake, not sweat rags.

Watched the Texas race on TiVo this morning. Keslousy vs Gordon with Harvick in the mix. Must see TV. Shades of Cale & Bobby & Donny! The new chase format is going to fill the stands, and maybe the ER. Oh yeah some good driving too.
