So not coming to Steve defense because it was totally wrong but, this isn’t the first time racers have gotten into each other’s faces and nothing was done about it. All the arm chair racers on FB calling that Steve’s championship should be taken away, etc. should there be some sort of fine or something yup, docking of points...never know. I mean we all know if one of us did it, we’d be suspended or fined...heck we crash our cars cause a motor blows and rather then a dam, that sucks we get a fine for “oiling the track” as you put your wadded up racecar into the trailer. So how about...

Millican vs Herbert at Maple Grove
Force vs. Pedregon at Indy
Laughlin vs Tanner Grays Crew at Houston
Whit Bazemore vs Everyone...lol

The thing is this has been happening for years and the racers from the 70’s & 80’s are sitting back laughing because they used to have flat out fist fights and rolling in the dirt altercations. Problem is nobody had FS1 or Facebook to complain about it.

I don’t think anyone could honestly say after a round loss or win against maybe someone you don’t like or plays games on the line that you haven’t showed your emotions and went to say something to that person

The big difference is he assaulted him. He should have been sent packing at that point.

another thing I got out of this was that Tony Pedregon comment "that he should have just gotten out of Steve's way" because he was running for a world title. Really? we all do that, right? He is the worst "play by play" man ever. Greg Anderson really takes the cake also, Erica just won and he couldn't wait to say something, good lord.

Agree on Pedregon of course but since I zip through the DVR pretty quick during the Pros, what did Anderson say? Keep in mind that EE had ripped him pretty much all weekend and Greg is a pretty intense guy.

Pedregon was just used to "getting out of the way" when he was driving for Force.......

Surprised when they mentioned he took a long time to stage, that nothing was said about the Official Starter being in control on the line. Curious what everyone thinks Buster would have done. If he was dawdling that much and fuel load is a safety concern why not shut him off and send Torrance on a single? The only part of the event we didn't fast forward through was that and the Force vs Hight match up.
