Because I don't have a favorite driver on the cross-country trail in any dirt division, I'll tell you what he said, not verbatim, but this is what he said: "McMahan should have stopped and let Sammy slide in front of him, it was all McMahan's fault for not letting Sammy have the slide job, where there was no slide job. Sammy hit him side to side, not even a wheel was in front of McMahan. Swindell would not apologize for either incident which he himself caused. Especially the McMahan incident which any person on earth watching, even the most hell-bent biased Sammy fan would have to say was an embarrassing interview to watch. The announcers also said it was his fault, but failed to "really" let him have it like they would hve if Sammy had been your run-of-the-mill driver, but the anouncers want to be able to continue their relationship with Swindell, do not want him dissing them, ignorning them for interviews, etc. You get the picture--two accidents, both his fault, though the 2nd one was at least a little debatable according to Sammy fans, but Sammy knew he was out there, where else would he have been.

Here is the biased part of my opinion. Sammy has been doing this crap for a lifetime. He is #1 in his mind, always has been always will be, thus his car number. If you read brother Jeff's monthly article in Sprint Car and Midget magazine, half of each story is either about what Jeff accomplished or what Sammy accomplished and is accomplishing. Sammy is a pain the azz, period. I don't know of another driver in Napscar or Indy cars, other than maybe Damica that thinks everybody else is at fault.

As far as announcers not condeming star athletes, happens all the time in the NBA, NFL, NHL, and especially Nascar. The announcers don't dare criticize the stars, they want to be pals with them.
