It really isn’t much different than Big Bill France’s “Actions detrimental to the sport” rule is it?

Club races have prize money?

What I learned from this article:

Racers have always cheated since day one.

Without knowing much about either, I will take Carpenter over Karem.....the kid seems like a whiner and age/experience usually kicks whiny teenager ass.

But it doesn’t matter who ends up with the black eye and broken nose, just need a good old fashioned made for TV brawl and 30 second soundbite.

Why is it “the last thing any motorsports division needs”? It puts fans in the stands and generates interest. IndyCar needs both really badly right now. It’s just a few fisticuffs, not a nuclear bomb.

You say “Fortunately, it didn’t come to blows”

The way I read it, Snell 2015 applies to auto racing helmets only, not motorcycle.

NASCAR on NBC is far superior to FOX for one reason alone....NO WALTRIPS.


NBCSN's coverage of the Milwaukee IndyCar race suffered from the over use of track level cameras and that idiot Paul Tracy blabbering on like a Waltrip.

This is a picture of a horse and a horse's ass

Bill France described track safety as a “moving target” in NASCAR’s post-race statement on all the work that’s happening after the Coke Zero 400.

Downforce only works when the car is going in the right direction. That’s not the problem here.

It is good to know that someone was thinking. Like I said, they had good intentions but they did violate a major rule that NASCAR implemented over the winter and did delay the safety crew from doing their job.

The track was hot, safety crews were responding. There is no question about that. The crewmen that ran out violated NASCAR policy instituted over the winter and harshly enforced in lower divisions already this year.

As I have stated in other posts, IF there was a fire and someone with proper attire could reach the car…

The track is considered hot until NASCAR race control declares it not so....usually after all racecars and support vehicles have left the surface. Safety crew was rolling as fast as they could but got delayed by all the pit crew guys who should have stayed behind the wall.

Austin may be grateful, but he most likely…

I agree with you 100%, the danger and possibility of danger is a major draw, always has been always will be.

If the cockpit is on fire and the on board fire suppression system failed, then yes, by all means first man there with a firesuit needs to evaluate the situation and pull him out IF in danger. (not all race car fires are an immediate danger)

True, but one Frenchman has been in a coma since the 2014 Japan race and at least one driver eventually did pass away from injuries she suffered during a testing accident.

Other than a concussion or two, what is the worst injury sustained by a NASCAR driver during a race or a test since the Big E smashed his open face…

No restrictor plate and far LESS aero downforce (and mechanical grip AKA tire width) would be the correct answer. Make the cars TOUGHER to drive through the corners and it will slow them down + spread them out.

I will disagree with the kudos you give to the crewmen who rushed to the car. They had no business being there, even if trained (obviously not by their reaction) they do not possess the equipment and are not part of the safety crew protocol. They were nothing more than in the way of the real safety crew if something…

You do realize that NASCAR has a far better safety record in the last 15 years than F1, Indycars, sportscars, endurance racing, motorcycle racing and even monster trucks?
