First they take Winston out, now this. Don't know what Sauter said but it couldn't be any worse than some of the stuff they said after a race 10-15 years ago

Not even THAT long ago!

I worked in the pits at our local race track for about 10 years. The driver's family was in the pits as well as the crews. Language was always flying around! Sure didn't seem to hurt anyone.

We are treated as a bunch of babies anymore.

Looking at what the France family has done to NASCAR in the past 3-4 years to make NASCAR more 'acceptable' to those outside of the South, I wholeheartedly agree with you

Yes....but you don't throw a microphone in there and broadcast to millions of people.

When I'm with my buddies, I am crude and use language that would make a sailor blush, but if front of women, children, and strangers nothing worse that a "shoot" will pass my lips.

It's called manners.

Found this off a link from Sauter's page

NASCAR officials have made it clear they will no longer stand for drivers using strong language in radio communications during the races in postrace interviews on radio and television.

LOL, I'd really like to hear that conversation....That son of a biscuit eater took the air off my gosh darn spoiler...
