Scott, I know what your saying and what you mean, HOWEVER, Wasn't it a Allison yarboro fight that launched Napcar into 24/7 TV?

Because Valvoline came in a white can and TMC truckings trucks were as black and pretty as the car.

Your blind. Watch the video again. When Kuhn dropped his head, Cottle threw a couple upper cuts and connected... Not impressed? Lol. Whatever. Who could have been impressed when you have 30 people pulling you back from a guy that deserved to get his head ripped off...... One on one and you woulda seen impressed.

If Kevin Swindell evers commits to a full-time sprint/midget schedule I think he will be one tough customer.

Shane Cottle should have been removed from facility. He should not be welcome at any racing facility for 2014. This is not good for the sport. I really disrespect the Chili Bowl officials. I seen at least a half a dozen of them just let him run by, knowing where he was headed.

It's part of racing. People have a lot of emotions going with it being such a big race so that's expected sometimes. That's the way issues were handled for years and now you think he should be banned because he is standing up for himself. It happens all the time in any sport you watch. Should you ban every one of them?

Once a driver gets his azz kicked in front of a bunch of his peers he normally thinks twice about making a stupid move on the race track again. Effective method of teaching in my old school book. Cry baby's .

I will give a kudos for MAV-TV from beginning to end. They didn't show the Cottle-Kuhn dustup. No biggie. I figure I will hear about it one way or another.

MAV-TV didn't show the fight but Fox-Sports showed showed someone ranting like a raving lunatic last night after the football game. Which network gets more of my respect?

Are you serious ? Glad Shane did not get in any trouble for this just wished he could have nailed him with a couple more shots. Some drivers show no respect anymore because nobody can do anything to them . Need to be like the 60-70s where stuff like this was settled quickly and lesson learned. Glad that BK did not make the feature after what he did.
