A court of law only decides who told the better story and presented more compelling evidence, not who was actually guilty or innocent. Having watched the OJ trial and having been through a custody battle, I will never be convinced otherwise.

I agree. Taking away his primary source of income as a consequence (e.g. NASCAR ban) seems an effective and just punishment.....one that will not likey come in court.

I stand by my reckles comment. My opinion is that REGARDLESS of the situation all drivers have a responsibilty for someone on the course outside of a car.

Do you think that guy was running into TS's line? NO WAY. TS had to see him and went out of his way to get close, "gun it" and we see the result. If TS did nothing but hold his line the guy would not have run under his wheel.

Did TS intend to hit him, absolutley not. No one knows the intent but it looks very clear that TS did not act responsibily he acted with emotion and was RECKLESS!!!
