I really miss the days when NASCAR's drivers and leadership were actual hard-scrappin' Americans and not pansy corporate suits. But when you have to protect the TV and sponsorship deals I guess this is the product you get.

(a) I don't disagree. BUT.... We don't even know what he said/posted/did, do we? Is it possible that NASCAR's punishment is more PC than proper? I would hope the latter is true (i.e., that Wallace did something meriting an indefinite suspension), but I doubt it.(a) When will people realize EVERYTHING you do is analysis, scuntized, and submitted for Public review .

(b) Sure. But the
doesn't come into play if the Sporting Figure is of the approved PC type o' the day. Then that Sporting Figure can get a whole industry to jump through a hoop for him/her/xer.I will gladly admit to being wrong if we do find out what happened and that the suspension was proper. But at this point I'm calling BS because that's how NASCAR rolls these days.

I've had a pretty good run with NASCAR. I've been in Victory Lane with a few teams across the three series. I have had the pleasure of 25 years of really good access to races and personalities over that time. I severed ties with the sport a few months ago. Mike Wallace is a stand up guy that I have met and worked with. What he said or did has been hushed and removed and then he gets parked by NASCAR with no transparency. I don't love the new NASCAR that spends more time on penalty box issues and social nonsense. We used to build the fastest car and take glory in the win. I have no idea what these clowns stand for now. I don't imagine Mike will participate in the "road to redemption". Waiting for the Tony Stewart racing series to rise up next year.

EXACTLY.
Don't know if Mike W. can afford it (I assume he can), but I would love for him to publicly and loudly tell NASCAR:
