Default The nightmares of a champion...



There was an interview with Richard Petty today. The interviewer asked the King
"Yeah, 7 Datona Race wins in your history, what do you think of that". The
answer was serious and in a way haunting, Petty replied without hesitation
"yeah, but think of how many I lost!"...

That is the mind of a racer, that checkered flag means nothing once you go by
it. It was your "last" win, and all you think about is changing that

Anyway, somebody asked me earlier this week "what could they do to make it
safer?" in reference to the Olympic death. NASCAR and FOX showed us today what
you do when there is a problem with the track that is dangerous for the
drivers. Screw the network, screw the ratings and the advertisers, the track is
not shut down nearly 2 hours while they work on the track. Nobody likes it, but
it's what a responsible "Sanctioning" committee and network would do...
