I hate this for Tony. I like all the other"old school" peeps dont mind seeing a guy get what he deserves but at the same time in this day and age, and especially with Tony's reputation, it isn't helping him either.
Maybe its time for him to have a "bodyguard" or someone to run interference for him in these situations.

What track and what racing organization was he racing with when this happened?

Looks like the guy took off running after he got smacked!

After watching a video this week of so called “people” dumping a bucket of ice over a policeman’s head while he was doing his job. We need more people like Smoke instead of all the Sheeple turning into a bunch of cupcakes!!

Not to take a stance on this but I think that it’s not unreasonable to compare this situation to the Ballou situation. It seems that Robert’s suspension was kinda “the straw that broke the camels back” deal. I don’t know exactly how many times he was warned about his comments on social media, but we certainly all know TONY has a bit of a history of what could be seen as stepping over the line. If enough is enough in one situation, why isn’t it the other? This is just food for thought. I love both of these guys, and I honestly believe that Smoke does far more good than bad. I guess it just makes me think about living in glass houses

It's the reason I don't attend big races anymore. Drunk beyond reason race fans spewing idiotic stuff you wouldn't say sober.

Nothing wrong with getting a buzz, Having fun, But when you become belligerent. You get what you deserve.

Seen it way too many times I just avoid it anymore.

Some people can hold their liquor, some can't
Anybody who uses "but i was drunk" as an excuse should quit :42::

Basically racing to some has become an excuse for public drunkenness. I like a beer same as the next guy, but there are too many who “pregame” in the parking lot and are snockered before the first flag flies. Not a good look.

NO ********! But since you started, how can you support somebody who takes small children away from their parents & locks them in cages? This is not about Dem vs. Republican or liberal vs. conservative. Its basic human decency
What Tony did doesn't bother me too much...
Back to racing now?
