1/4 midgets are for kids to learn how to race. There is LOTS of car contact especially with the novice/lacks talent drivers!! But as the kids get older they learn car control and the contact diminishes tremendously. So that leaves either two options in the case at hand: Either Kevin Swindell has no car control because he is a novice/lacks talent or he intentionally drives in a rough manner without regard to the consequences. I have not seen many serious injuries at 1/4 midget events but I have seen way too many people die in a sprint car. So yes I do dislike a little intentional car contact.

Another brilliant statement! Slavery went on for hundreds of years but I am glad we didn't "get over it". Drivers were killed on a regular basis in the early years of racing but I am glad we didn't "get over it". Just because someone does not agree with your opinion does not entitle you to try to silence. Either overcome their opposition with logic or agree to disagree.
I will point out that I had not mentioned Kevin Swindell's name until this post. He slid us cleanly at Perris and we drove back around him for the position. That was not the case at Manzy.
So Joe you can continue to congratulate Kevin on the "nice job" he did at Manzy but I just can't drink your Kool Aid.
