How about all the sportsman tech infractions (read: paying customers) that garnered hefty fines and 1 year vacations?

If NHRA is going to promote this they need to get him some fight lesson or maybe one of his fellow Texans could teach him. Erica is from Texas my she could teach him how to fight she would have done a better job.

Some of you guys just don’t get it. This PRO ? physically assaulted another racer .....in front of an NHRA employee / official .....

Didn’t realize S. Torrence was such a wonderful man. Sounds as though SUGAR wouldnt melt in his mouth....
I can’t help but wonder what your reaction would be if S. Torrence physically assaulted your son ? Or better yet, your wife or daughter. .....

He should have never been allowed to advance to the 2nd rd.DQ'd on the spot,lost all points for that race,and told to leave the premises. Then be fined and suspended at the beginning of next year for whatever amount and time was decided.The sad part here by allowing him to advance he became TF Champion...gsa612

This article makes it sound like NHRA is trying to figure what to do. Like everyone here points out, if it were a sportsman doing this they would be fined and suspended.

Apparently it's $1500 for doing a sportsman racer spinning his tires in the pits, no charge for a pro racer punching someone on national television. Just to clarify...

Well, it certainly looks like a precedence is going to be set.
