I agree 100%,but you do not punish the whole team and take their championship from them that the whole team won.

There is literally no defense for what Steve Torrence did. It was inexcusable and he needs to be punished for it. There would be no argument from anybody if he was a sportsman racer. You can't make acceptable to sock somebody just because of who you are.

Seeing ST was awarded the TF Championship last night says to me there is not going to be any hard disciplinary action.With all the comments on various sites NHRA wants to down play this as much as possible for the sake of losing sponsors,fans etc.It's always about the money!.I'm sure they had a long talk with both involved.I see the next step being they hold a press conference with ST and Ferre present.ST opologizes for his"heat of the moment reaction" Ferre accepts, they bump fists end of story.Then the only action NHRA "MAY" take is a fine.Hope I'm wrong but we all know who were dealing with...gsa612

They should put on gloves and have a charity match in the ring.

Steve Torrance is a disgrace and not a true champion. A champion shows class in good times and in bad, under pressure, after a loss and after a win. His folks should be embarrassed.

As for NHRA they have posted it everywhere for media attention and the almighty $$.

Torrence is a jackass for sure.

That makes me think it was scripted and planed

No double standards at NHRA. I believe it was Greg Anderson who got a big fine for flipping up his visor before leaving the racing surface a few years back and then we have this guy who only got a finger wag..
