Re: 2014 Open Wheel Racing - if it's white smoke, it's not a good sign & that's no bu
So you are saying football players don't drive cars? My point is about a sporting star that is in a car accident where someone dies. Or are you assuming that race car drivers have to always look out to not hurt other drivers- like leading with your head in a tackle. I don't know if you've noticed, but football players injure each other at a MUCH MUCH MUCH higher rate than race car drivers to.
Mental state, indeed.
No, it's the same thing- this car accident happened well outside of NASCAR's jurisdiction. Just because it was a racing incident does not mean it's NASCAR's job to suspend a driver based on a single home video any more than if TMZ caught a baseball player who hit a pedestrian and killed them and MLB can't do anything right away.
You are saying that NASCAR should take a knee jerk reaction without much evidence. I don't think they should. Should they look into it, and see if something should be done? Most certainly. But react on limited information? No.
let me put this in a different way- lets assume when Dan Wheldon crashed, the race actually went on. Should the drivers who were involved sit for the rest of that race just because they were involved and were not mentally stable? That's what you are suggesting we do. And we will base that suspension on one view without actually looking into what actually happened.
