Regardless of past history between drivers, any other driver who would have done what Short did, would have been asked to leave and not return for a period of time. There is NO WAY any other driver would have been allowed to run again that night. But Short was allow to run the B main - not transfer, AND then take a provisional for the feature. I guess he knew he could take a provisional, which is why he even ran the B main, because I have seen him leave before when he did not transfer through his heat because he did not want to take his chances on transferring from the B.
What is this saying, to the drivers??? It's ok to get upset and purposely hit another car, not once, not twice, not three times but multiple times all the way around the track and, its no big deal, we will let you run?!?!?!?..... since this was MSCS, I am not sure if this decision was theirs or the promoters of Bloomington Speedway but either way, it was not a good one for the sport. The conduct shown by Short on the track in front of everyone should never be tolerated by any association, track promoter or car owner.
What is this saying to the fans, especially the young ones???? It's ok to act like this and possibly cause intentional harm to another and it is acceptable? Drivers are a role model for the fans, young fans included and the actions of Short were not what I would want any child to think is even remotely acceptable
As has been mentioned, we have had too many true racing accidents recently, to have intentional acts like this be tolerated. RIP Josh and Lefturn.

jmho. I know the saying about opinions and I am sure there are others who agree and others who will disagree.
