From the usac link:

As I stated before, I am still a Stewart fan in spite of this incident and feel no action should be taken against Tracy (or Levi) as they had no hand in the incident. The people who posted about this being a PR positive for USAC are probably right. I saw the thing on TV this morning while I was looking for a weather report.
