Re: Throw Kurt Busch out of NASCAR
(While I'm a Tony Stewart fan, I'll try to keep this as unbiased as possible)
Until Kurt entered pit row, this was just a case of 2 drivers trying to race. Kurt felt Tony should have given way and wrecked him, while Tony thought he wasn't clear, so shouldn't get the spot. That's racing. Happens every race. Guys spin each other out all the time...
What Kurt did was inexcusable. If he's out on the track where it's him and Tony and wants to pull that stuff, fine. In fact, I wouldn't expect anything less. But by doing it in pit road, with pitcrews running around, he put other people in danger, and that's not right. It was plain stupid. However, I don't see him sitting out any races. Fines, driver and owner points, definitely, but NASCAR would be walking a very tight line if they had him sit.
And not to say Tony hasn't done anything stupid in his career...because he's certainly no saint. But Kurt was in the wrong by pulling a stunt like that.
