Had him cleared by how much? A foot? You gotta give the other guy a little more room than that or you can expect to get turned. Wagner did a similar slider on Walter in last years dream race, taking him out and walter was none too pleased. Just because you "clear" the car doesn't mean it was a clean pass. Now go back and look at Macri's slider on Marks for the lead. He cleared him by a couple car lengths, not a couple inches. Macri didn't spin him on purpose, he had the momentum coming off the top of turn 4 and tried to steer it back under Wagner who had lost some momentum sliding up the track. More of a racing deal than anything. Wagner goes back out and crashes again, how fitting. I remember Jeff Shepard saying once how Rahmer slid him dirty at Williams Grove and he stayed on the gas crashing them both. Rahmer never slid him like that again. You race the other guy how they race you.

I think I'm like most others on here and think most of your takes or "facts" are ridiculous.  But I've gotta give you credit, no matter how dumb your opinion is, you stick by what you think to the very end.  I don't see anyway how that would be considered a fight.  I guess I don't think sticking your head in someones car constitutes a fight, otherwise I've probably seen a fight at every sprint car race I've gone to, especially under a red flag, it looks like every crew chief is fighting with their driver.  From what I saw on the video there was no punch or punches thrown, I can't see what his hand is doing (just like you can't either) but if I had to guess he had a hold of his firesuit.  Again doesn't constitute a fight in my opinion.  Once multiple punches are thrown, that's a fight in my opinion.  If this kind of stuff upsets you maybe you should just skip watching any sporting events?

This is the smartest thing I've read on here in a while.  But you are completely right about drivers not respecting each other anymore and honestly I enjoy racing at any level a whole lot less because of that.  I don't think there needs to be a fight everytime there's a disagreement on the track but I do think when drivers make stupid moves, they need to be held accountable somewhat.  In a perfect world, lock the 2 drivers in a trailer and they can both discuss whatever incident happened like adults and everyone could move on.  Instead we all know what happens, One driver gets pissed off at another driver and wants to discuss it and immediately the crews get between them which just pisses everyone off more.

Wagner posted on Twitter that he wouldn't tolerate "bullying" In regards to the incident with Macri. What a drama queen. He put his hands on another driver who was strapped in. Wagner is about as self righteous as they come. Save us the bullying speech on social media and wait until the guy is standing in front of you to be a tough guy. 

You don't have a dog in the fight but yet you are whining and crying on here and started an entire thread basically demanding one of the drivers be suspended. Which most likely he won't so you will be crying and throwing another keyboard fit because someone didn't do what you wanted done. It was a racing deal and you can throw one of your classic 5 year old crybaby fits that you are prone too no one really gives a crap anymore. Everyone probably had forgotten all about it the next day but then losers like you have to get all offended and stir everything up over a non issue. A driver ran over and yelled at another driver and if he hit him it probably did not have enough force to even trigger the nerves in the bodies to register any pain. The only thing that the incident seemed to hurt is your feelings.

Thanks, I don't think a fight needs to happen everytime either and honestly I think if you take the whole crew element out a lot of the fighting and intentional wrecking would eventually work itself out. You will probably have a lot of shouting and profanity which may hurt some people on here who have delicate feelings, but you would not have half the crap that happens once the drivers know that they will have to answer for their actions after the fact. If the drivers knew that they could get popped afterwards in the pits for doing a stupid move on the track they may race with some respect as opposed to making all of the stupid moves on the track. 

You have to understand one thing. You and I are sprint car fans. BStrawser is not. His hobby is simply jousting with people on the internet. He doesn't go to the races. You can tell by what he posts that he really doesn't seem to know a lot about racing.  He doesn't care about races. Like a lot of teenagers, he's just looking for somebody to argue with because that's his hobby. It helps his self-esteem. You can bet he's on a lot of unrelated forums and such simply because of the ego boost of getting the attention. For the most part, he's just background noise. 

That is a pretty accurate description of him. The only good that he provides is that all of us usually feel a lot better about ourselves after we read his idiotic posts. The only good news for him is that there is nothing wrong with him that reincarnation can't cure.

Agreed. Same ole clown trolling for attention. Its obvious he/she isn't a race fan. Gee, next thing will be that we can't handle the truth, same old broken recorrd. I don't think winged/strawser deserves two weeks vacation from this site, more like two months or two years. Me thinks most posters on here would approve.

Sure. Whatever. You've probably got picture of B-mods on your bedroom wall.

Cool story bro. Tell you what, when you build your own track or start your own series or promote your own event instead of babble, then you can suspend whoever you want for whatever it is for however long you wish. But until then you are nothing a nobody, you hold zero power and your opinion or whatever your version of "fact" is carries absolutely no weight.

Cleared him but got spun out because he got tagged on the cross over... Can't argue with that stupidity. Fits right in with Logan's bullying "logic".

A slider forcing someone to slow down is not dirty

You need to go to some sprint cars races so your posts would at least seem plausible to some people. If you pass another car without crashing either of you, that's called racing. If you ever go to a sprint car race you'll understand.

May not be dirty but doesn't mean the other guy has to use the brake pedal just because he has one either. The risk you take making a move like that. Considering how early in the race it was it was a poor decision from the get go.

If you short slide someone and end up losing the encounter whining and acting like a little girl in a spat with another 12 year old over lip gloss sure doesn't make you look very manly. I've always liked watching Wagner race at Port but the image he presented on Sunday sure wasn't a positive one.
