He was pulled over on suspicion of dwi in that incident but was only charged with reckless driving. Famous people got away with stuff, especially back then.
I don't see that making him a bad person, makes him want to win and he had lost the last championship to Visser so why not get rid of him if you can. Only increases Gibbs chance of winning. There is no sportsmanship award in cup series.
Well for some strange reason that I entirely don't understand, NBC doesn't put NASCAR on peacock, but they do have Indy, imsa, even supercross on peacock. Can somebody please explain to me the reasoning behind this?
I live just outside of NYC (literally 3 miles east of the Queens line) no interest in NASCAR here and never has been. We did have TNN on cable in the 80s so it was televised, but never was anything about it in newspapers or on local sports news.
