There are several different racing organizations each with their own sanctioning criteria
and rules. I suspect many will review their criteria and possibly changes will be made
in their applications.

This writer only mentions NASCAR but this was a Sprint race. NASCAR had nothing
to do with it.

That is a good point. I've been to the Daytona 500 a few times years ago, and have seen drivers get out of their cars to confront each other after an accident. I don't know what, if anything, was done as a disciplinary measure to discourage this sort of thing. I think multi-race suspensions for this kind of behavior is not out of line.

You are correct-—

I think USAC is the sanctioning body for these cars & tracks.

Very few people making all these comments against Tony have ANY idea how many of these tracks are all across America & are a big piece of entertainment for the small towns they are in.

Also- These tracks are where new drivers get their start. NO ONE steps into a NASCAR car, an Indy car, of a Formula One car out of the gate.
