3) I think the incident with Carl today is like when Donnie and Cale threw punches at each other. It might of been a bad thing, but more fans tuned in. Kind of like a soap opera. Dangerous, but that is the nature of the sport.

4) And from some of the videos, sprint car have been doin' a lot of bang/rubbing lately and every racers holds a grudge and waits for the day to pay back. Brad just got payed back. I think both want to calm it down now.

Larry "O" and God Bless all Indianopenwheel fans.

To do something like that is completely stupid. If you have a grudge that is fine but payback someone on track at speed is completely unacceptable, stupid, and should get a lifetime ban. Not only could the driver be hurt or killed but also the fans and if that were to happen in NASCAR on live tv with so many eyeballs watching it would be the end of autoracing in this country. This ain't 1955 anymore. LeMans, Indianapolis and the many many local deaths damn near ended motorsports on a global scale and that was well before the level of interest was ever this high.

Stupidity like this stuff today must be dealt with fast, harsh, and made an example of to ALL racers that this on track grudge paybacks needs to stop.
