Someone who would do this simply should not be allowed to get on a race track and endanger other drivers. With all the bad publicity racing in general and sprint car racing in particular has gotten recently, you would think that any driver would try to act more responsibly. Perhaps he should have a drug test.

If possible, his act is made worse by the fact that he deliberately crashed a very small young lady (Harli White) who was very, very badly burned a few years ago with 3rd degree burns over 50% of her body. She still carries very deep scars. Her courage and determination have been well documented, along with the fact that she won the 2013 ORCS wing and nonwing championships. I have had the opportunity to meet both her and her parents. Great folks. I am so glad that she didn't appear to be injured.
