Who knows, maybe he has, but that might take away from the "Bad Boy" image that NASCAR wants him to live up to.
The difference is that Tony was physcally going after people. Espically members of the media. Rowdy has never done that.
I want passionate drivers. I want drivers that want to win. I want drivers who think that second place is the first loser. I want drivers that are willing to do a banzi move on the last lap to win the race.
I don't want PC drives who are interested in getting a picture of their drink on TV, or making sure that they mention every sponsor known to man, or are willing to tell me that there 15th place car was pretty strong all day, or say "big picture racing" or "it was a good points day". If you win every race, every race is a good points race.
Foyt has been mentioned several times on this thread. One of the last times Foyt was in vicotry land as an owner he got into a fight on national TV. That is passion.
