You seem to know a lot about NASCAR for someone who was so adamant about not watching NASCAR.
or it means he watches ESPN or another sorts channel that does highlights.


Also, since that's the only interesting thing that can happen in a NASCAR race, you know its going to be aired

First, he doesn't watch any NASCAR so he can come off as unbiased...

Now, he's seen so many of these incidents that he's an expert on the ability of drivers being able to avoid the driver-turned-frogger on the track.

No you haven't, and even if you have, was there ever a time where you seen one drive jumping in front of and pointing his finger at an oncoming car?


It happened yesterday in the Nationwide race. Guy got out of his car and confronted another driver on the track under caution.

I'd love for someone to tell me how someone can intentionally run over someone by using their right-rear tire.

That is fantastic driving.

We should take all of people here saying it was intentional and take them out to that abandoned airstrip that the Mythbusters use. We will set up a dummy in the middle of the road and have them intentionally run over the dummy but they must hit them with their right-rear tire first because that is the easiest way to run over someone, right?

Sprint cars don't have starters. They have to be pushed off to start. It was a caution. They have 2 speed transmissions. They are in high gear under caution. The only time they stop is under a red flag. 95% of you don't know shite about what you're talking about

Eta: not you stout

Have you guys seen the video that was leaked, he totally did it on purpose.



Just saw the video. There's only one conclusion that could possibly be made. That was a murder on the track.

It'll be interesting how our justice system handles this case. Everything Stewart ever got from racing is about to be handed over to attorneys and the government.

Here is a video with some incidents. I didn't watch the whole thing, but the first two minutes show drivers getting out of their car on the track and confronting another driver. LINK

Surely these are all over Youtube.

When I see wrecks, unless the car is about to blow up, the drivers usually stay in their car and wait on things to be cleared and the crew to come help them out of the vehicle but that's just me I guess. Maybe I am watching the wrong races.

I apparently need to watch the ones sponsored by the WWE.

You do know that Talledaga Nights was just a movie ?



It doesn't happen every race, but often enough that what that driver did wasn't really out of the norm.

Hell, couple of years ago, Tony got out of his car and waited for the driver that wrecked him to drive by and he threw his helmet at the car.

Ward Burton has done it to Dale Junior.

Kurt Busch has walked down toward the cars after getting wrecked ranting and raving pointing towards his arse.

Most times, it occurs at short tracks like Bristol.

The thing I find the best is people in here who dont watch NASCAR, look down on it, just turn left, are experts on what sprint cars can do.
they can stop on a dime
Be controlled wheel by wheel in case you need to teach someone a lesson.
realize while dirt tracks are slick drivers wear special shoes like Spiderman so no way that guy slipped under the tire
have seen people jumping out of thr way from other cars weekly on sports center and stopping other cars by standing ij front of them

Murder implies intent to kill.

Confronting a driver under caution in a NASCAR sanctioned event is a far different animal than doing it during the cool down laps of a sprint car event.

Neither is advisable, but the latter is fat more perilous due to the type of machines they're running.

Not really sure how you can come to any conclusion from that. They said he had a go pro on his car. That video should show truth. All speculation now.

And the guy is 10 yards from the racing groove. Cars aren't having to dodge him.
