Will Race Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 What is the I37 track policy on Altercations/Fighting in the Pit area? My opinion is that this is all for fun and some take it way to serious. There are times when we all get heated about whatever it might be but it should never become physical. Just curious what the track policy is for those who step over the line. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm sure that a simple call to the track managment could answer your question. But as long as this thread remains very general and contains no bashes, no accusations, no specific situations, etc. we can live with this one... Thanks.

Just curious what the track policy is for those who step over the line. Thanks I think this same question is on a lot of peoples minds. It seems every race there is an altercation in the pits. I know it is hard to believe but a lot of us drive for fun and having a bunch of fighting going on in the pits next to you is not fun and disrespectful. I know there are some that think NASCAR scouts are going to frequent 37 and pick them out to be on a NASCAR team but I seriously doubt it. Come on guys lighten up before someone gets hurt by accident ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REB YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, THE NEXT TIME I SEE YOU I WILL THROW DOWN AND BEAT YOUR ....OH, WAIT I AM 5 5 AND 150, I WILL BY YOU A DRINK. On a serious note, they need to have rules and enforce them, not just 37 but all tracks. I saw a guy get in a fight at another track a while back. The imca rule book has rules about fighting. Nothing was done to the guy, my guess is he was a local and they did not want to upset one of their favorites. This is wrong in my opinion, had this been an out of towner or a less favorite driver he would have been kicked out. I don't have all the specifics so alot of this is JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones41 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I dont know what the track policy is, but if anyone steps over the line they need to be cuffed asap. The security has been doing an awesome job getting there before anything to serious happens. If you make any kind of threat to another driver even if your just part of the crew the track officials should know and they should dq them or get them the hell out of there. This is a family sport so lets keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RACER5 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 dq them well it will depend on who it is getting in trouble if like they said its there buddy they wont they will let that person go and then go to there shop later and talk to them or other things.i say if there is a problem let the people talk i dont care if the cops around or what if it gets out of hand then do something but just PEOPLEtalking and dq them is not the way to do it cuz like me dq me i dont run for points and i dont run for money so losing both of those arent big to me. but having people talk $hit is. i mean if someone is just saying something to someone and other want to talk stuff then it gets out of hand thats a problem.

Jones41 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Just applying if someone is saying there ready fight after an incident then do something, but if two racers are trying to come to an agreement then thats understandable and the way it should be.

RACER5 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 just to be clear it wasnt ment for one person my comment. i agree with greg all rules go for all racers, and ya if they are getting it cleared up and being calm well as calm as two racers after a race can then its not a problem but if it gets heated or pasted that then if the cops are there they should step in and seperate the parties involved.

top_shelf_12 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 First off I don't think a NASCAR team would like a driver that wants to fight every time something goes wrong. Secondly, most of the racers I've known and seen in the pits have family and kids around them in the pits after the races so think the adults need to remember that and respect that. Of course things get heated and with the amount of money all racers invest into this hobby things will get out of control at times. Fighting is one of those things that are fun to watch but not fun to be in and when you remember what's around you and what's really important fighting at a racetrack really isn't worth it. Most tracks I've been too have followed a two week ban and loss of all points and money for that night as a general rule for those involved in fights. Of course harsher penalties can and have been imposed based on the severity of the incident and the frequency of the participants in the altercation(s). Here's an idea that goes along with the fighting concept, what kind of rules are in place for a driver that deliberately runs into another car to send that same message. Luckily, that's the most extent I've seen this year but I'm not sure from the stands if punches were thrown in Edna last time we went up there but their management called the two parties into an office and discussed it privately. Guess stuff like that just depends on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
