Come on Joe, look at all the professional sports out there, at one point or another, a fight is eminent. It doesn't have to happen, but it does. We live in a world with irrational people making irrational decisions, it's not limited to nascar. I bet it even happens in F1, instigated by a mean stare, on the grid. Lord knows they'll never see each other again on the track.
Matt,

This is the Wide World of Wrestling on wheels. There is a reason why the WWF wrestlers all belongs to the actors guild as its all staged and is entertainment, not sport.

When the drivers stop running into other cars and knocking them off of the track to get ahead, then thats a step ahead. When they race in the rain, like the other racing drivers do worldwide, thats another step ahead. When they stop driving in circles (I can teach a frigging monkey to go round and round) then thats a major step ahead.

Fight is eminent? Well, Crashcar is the only racing format in the world where this happens, so would argue with you about that statement. Other drivers around the world are man enough to be professional on and off the track but these "good old boys" have not made it to that point yet.

This is entertainment, not sport and the sooner that everyone realizes that its all rigged the better.

Sorry but Crashcar is a farce... a very profitable one for the France family, but a farce never the less.
