In my opinion, for trying to clip an official, not enough. Since it's a family operation, the team should be suspended for the rest of the year.

I checked the records. The guy only made one feature this year and finished 13th. He's not a points contender so taking him out of a few races probably means nothing to him. Let him cool his jets for the rest of the year and let him come back next year on probation.

I believe most companies would bar you from their property for life if you threatened their management. How is this any different?

It's their series, they can do what they want.

Two years ago, when I was coming to IN on a regular basis, I thought John had a lot of promise. At this point, I'd say he needs to do a serious self-assessment and try to get back on the right path, focus on his driving and leave the grade school theatrics behind.
