THe networks are there to "bleep" anything else that needs it.

Have to agree w/ quest on this. How do you delay the interview from those that are there?

Sorry that happened to you. My wife has never had that problem at a race. Even at the local track in the stands with my kids while I was in the pits. She's been to Martinsville and Charlotte. What track were you at?

As far as Tony being fined, I think it's stupid. It's Nascar execs who have never been in a race car and do not under stand how emotional racing is. As far as Tony they had to fine him because they had fined JR (last year I think). As far as Kyle he was in his own car and own the teams private radio (although they were broadcasting it), Of course they fined Shane Hmiel for flipping off Dale Jarrett a few years ago while Jarret was walking toward him during a caution. Although Shane stoned was 5 times the driver Dale Jarret has ever thought he was.

So Stewart was fined and docked points for saying BS.

Kyle Petty on the other hand dropped the F bomb on live TV during the road course race at Infineon. What happened to him? As far as I know, nothing.

Typical NASCAR hypocrisy IMHO.

This "Polical Correctness" baloney gets a little out of hand at times! So a cuss word slips out from time to time. Is it really doing all that much harm? We all do it un-itentionally from time to time!

Nascar is PG-13, live with it.
That`s what you get when you Target a very young audience (with an activity they`re too young to participate in) when the sport was intended for young/middle aged men.

No hypocrisy....this time. Besides not being able to say Bulls**t is Bulls**t.
