Truck RACE thread --- Talladega

[Speedbowl14]

No driver suspensions. Crafton fined $25K, Sanchez fined $5K and Sanchez’s dad suspended from the track for the rest of the season for throwing punches as a non-participant (per Elton Sawyer on TMD this morning).

Sawyer said Crafton had time to cool down but still went and threw punches. And Sanchez was fined for saying “I’m going to kill you.”

And Chandler Smith fined $10k for not wearing a damn head sock during qualifying.

Not the best display of brains for the Trucks this past week.

How is hitting someone justifiable if you weren't hit first? Threatening words are just words and you don't hit someone unless you are hit first.

Oh my, my post will probably get deleted...so if someone comes at you with a gun you wait for them to shoot first? With a knife, you wait for them to stab you? Verbally threatens you, you wait for them to assault you?

Sawyer said Crafton had time to cool down but still went and threw punches.

And this is why he should be suspended. ****** joke.

Except in this context, it would appear that Sanchez had neither the means nor the intention to kill Crafton at THAT place in time, meaning there was no urgency to retaliate.

If you don't want to go to jail, then yes. Words are not a weapon.

The Trucks need an Andretti in the series, he drives like a madman when there are fenders on. SRX Champ.
