This is so trivial and pointless as to be laughable. However it made Jayski and therefore may spark some ridiculous debate and finger pointing.
I recall some years back, maybe the mid 80's, that Richard Petty was involved in some public highway brouhaha. Seems he was driving himself home from somewhere (Charlotte I think) and one of his fellow travelers did not clear the left lane for him. After some period Richard employed the bump and run to get himself up a spot. (now how many times have you wanted to do that). Nothing much ever came of it and it was barely talked about.
Hope this remains the same.
Ormond Beach police have started an internal investigation into the Feb. 9 traffic stop of NASCAR bad boy Tony Stewart. Police are investigating whether two officers involved in Stewart's early morning traffic stop let him off too easily because of his superstar status, Ormond Beach police spokesman Sgt. Mark Walker said. Stewart, the defending Winston Cup champion, was pulled over in a yellow Ferrari just before 1 a.m. Feb. 9 after Patrol Officer Anthony Zimmerer saw the car fly past him on the Granada Bridge, Walker said. Zimmerer said another passing vehicle prevented his radar from accurately clocking Stewart's speed, Walker said. Stewart was stopped by patrol officer Michael Bakaysa. Then he got a warning, rather than a ticket, from Zimmerer. Stewart's spokesman, Mike Arning, said Monday he could not confirm or deny reports that Stewart discussed the traffic stop on a local radio show Feb. 12
