Does NASCAR need more fights?
There are few things the Craftsman Truck Series can do to upstage the Sprint Cup Series and steal the spotlight from NASCAR's top series. But a good fight will do it. The truck series had an all-out brawl Saturday when the crews and drivers from Germain Racing and Red Horse Racing squared off on pit road at New Hampshire. There were punches thrown, names called, fingers pointed and even a little spit spat. It escalated into a major scrum that NASCAR officials struggled to break up. If you saw the race or have seen the video, it was great drama, far more exciting than the action on the track. When these things happen, it's hard for anybody to condone it. NASCAR certainly can't, and the media and fans that admit to enjoying it are typically criticized by the moral majority. Still, the fact that everyone is talking about it and that thousands of people have watched the video (more than 26,000 people have watched two separate videos of the incident on YouTube) tells you that such skirmishes attract attention and generate excitement. Like it or not, NASCAR could use a few more fights.

I dont have a problem with in your face yelling, but when punches fly, I dont think is a appropiate for any sport.

Take a cue from hockey, the fights are fun to watch, but I wouldn't want to see one every race.

I don't care if the punches fly because there will always be enough people around to make sure it doesn't turn into a bloody beat down.

I agree this sport needs more emotions... Dull racing + heated argument + possible brawl = excitement. Just try to get there before punches fly UNLESS K.Busch is on the recieving end.

I agree, NASCAR has become way too civilized. Let the driver's show some emotion!! A few good punches directed in Kyle's way would make my day!!!

I heard Kyle was working out at the fitness center with FLOAT. Not sure what they were working on but it must be good. They claim Kyle is looking like Tony Stewart. LOL

A kid at the grocery store asked me why don't they make white M&M's?
I Explained that they'd enslave the dark brown M&M's
steal all the red M&M's land
hunt the blue M&M's to extinction
accuse the yellow M&M's of obstructing trade
start a panic that the little green M&M's were invading the Earth
and complain that the damn light brown M&M's were taking all their jobs.
shave the Busch

My coffee is not done yet, but heck ya, a little emotion would be very welcome. Maybe a couple of nobody's like Mayfield and Nemechek could be put in one of those dumb rings with a fence around it go beat each other up.
On second thought I think I'll have that cup of coffee.

NASCAR doesn't need more fights. But they don't need fewer fights either. An occassional fight keeps things interesting.

This Week in Nascar had Todd Bodine in. He said he started to get out of the truck and then decided he didn't want to get punched so he strapped his helmet back on and strapped himself back into the seat!! The big wuss....<lol>. Get out and get dirty a little! Heck..you got stuffed into the fence!!!!!
