While I don't approve of the language or antics that went on at LPS tonight (I wasn't there, just watched it on Flo) I understand the emotion involved. Racing is about the only sport where less than a minute after a high stakes, emotionally charged, highly dangerous event occurs, someone sticks a microphone in the athlete's face for a comment. As the portable/wireless technology has evolved, a driver is nearly interviewed crawling out of his wrecked race car. Their adrenaline is running a thousand miles an hour, they are emotional and usually they are VERY upset, at the situation, another driver, the car, the crew, whomever or whatever! I don't necessarily agree with what comes out of their mouths sometimes, but the raw emotion is what you are going get that soon after an incident.
