Yeah, a big fine to a millionaire family that just won a half million probably won't mean much to ST, just like his "apology" doesn't hold much water, either.

NHRA posted about their “disappointment” over the incident, but apparently not so much that they stop posting promotional videos about it. Gimme a break, they’re pondering the precedent set by it when if a sportsman behaves similarly the precedent is already established, DQ’d on the spot.

Well, consider that if NHRA decides to impose a fine, they get to keep the money, that might motivate them...

The NHRA awards ceremony was today,I wonder if he received his Championship Wally.By rights it should be held pending on the findings of NHRA's "thorough review" of the incident.And after the review is complete that they still deem him worthy of being a "Champion"...gsa612

Yeah, and Adolf Hitler was just a misunderstood painter.

What ever happened to "Triple Dog Dare" ? It is approaching the Christmas Season.

So tell us Greg are you one of those Sportsman Racers that CAPCO says they support on their website?
That could tell us all a great deal.
Striking a competitor is an automatic DQ and more upcoming actions for any of us who are only lowly Sportsman Racers.
