Heard Ricky Craven on Mike and Mike this morning calling for NASCAR to make getting out of the car against the rules...

except in cases of emergency, etc.

But levy huge fines and suspensions on any driver getting out of the car for anything other than a necessity.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but kid should have stayed in the fucking car.

I was figuring this morning that this would be the result. If you are getting out because of fire or to immediately leave the track, OK, but otherwise - zork Aug 11, 07:26 3
- I have seen NASCAR drivers throw their helmet at a car passing by. - groiny Aug 11, 07:33 2
  - NASCAR loves every story written, except ones like the one that started this conversation. - Spawn Aug 11, 07:35
  - (Tony Stewart did this, actually.) -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 11, 07:35
This wasn't a NASCAR sanctioned race or track. Wouldn't have made any difference. -- nm - spamlet Aug 11, 07:26 7
- He was calling for it in all racing. I said NASCAR. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 07:31
- I expect the rule would trickle down to lower levels -- nm - zork Aug 11, 07:28 5
  - This is like beer softball leagues and MLB. NASCAR has no control or influence on local dirt tracks. - spamlet Aug 11, 07:29 4
    - if that were true, Stewart would not have even been there. - groiny Aug 11, 07:29 3
      - NASCAR would *love* if Stewart stopped doing these races last year after he got hurt. - spamlet Aug 11, 07:30 2
        
        yes, but how much do you think him being there increased attendance at that race? - groiny Aug 11, 07:32 1
        
        As I said last year when he got hurt, it's like Jeter showing up at your beer league and asking to play SS. - spamlet Aug 11, 07:47

nitpick, iirc - znufrii Aug 11, 07:25 2
- right, but NASCAR is what everyone sees on TV and highlights. - groiny Aug 11, 07:26
- Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 07:26
I agree on all points. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:25
