Statement of Action Against Participant

The following action has been taken against Steve Torrence regarding an incident that occurred during the Auto Club NHRA Finals at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona on November 17, 2019 regarding an altercation with a fellow competitor. Torrence publicly apologized for his conduct at the season-end awards ceremony on November 18, 2019. Torrence has been fined twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) and must complete anger management sessions. The fine will be dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of the Safety Safari. The action is appealable.

$25,000 to a Millionaire is like a normal Joe being fined a couple of pennies.

Anger management? What a joke.

Gee, I hope that NHRA televises the anger management sessions!

This just in, 25 grand fine and anger management classes for the young man from NHRA

Maybe the NHRA are giving the anger management classes so they can get some more of our money back!

He will probably buy his way out of the anger mgmt. classes or pay someone to attend for him. Something like the College scandal now ongoing.
He will learn nothing from all this and do it again in the not to distant future.
At 70 years old I have seen this more than once and people like Steve never change.
I am surprised he did not do something like this earlier after watching some of his interviews.

Torrence penalty is the best thing to happen to sportsman racing.
Do not like a competitor, shake his hand, smack him in the face. Penalized 5 percent of the winners payout (divisional would be $62.50 or so)and go on to the next round. Oh and attend anger management classes. I am guessing there are going to be a lot of racers in these classes. Livefeed going to need a top end camera for all the races
