I just saw on the Outlaws site that they have a large headline with Schuhart and Sweet

when you get down to reading the article this is all that was said about Sweet

PENALTY ISSUED: Following an incident on Sept. 5 at Silver Dollar Speedway, Brad Sweet has been fined and placed on probation until Dec. 31, 2014 for violating World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series rule 11.0-L.

 Saw highlites from the race where he actually gets out of the car and swings at Paul a couple of times. Paul does not look the least bit affected by this calm and collected .

  Is there any video of what transpired first what did Paul Do or didn't do TO ENRAGE Mr.  Sweet

Why is this so hush hush , is this favoritism  because the Outlaws can't afford and lose another driver which would mean 3 drivers gone for KK. 

I am only speculating not giving you answers of why?

My only question is, What did Paul do or not do to have gotten Sweet so angry. And what sort of fines and discipline with Sweet/KKR 

face.

As a spectator and Sprint car Fan. We saw how anger can get the best of a Driver, We witnessed that the night of the Nationals where

someones life was taken. DRIVERS PLEASE LIFE IS FAR TO Prescious!!

i had the ppv and the video went away just as accident happened but to me it like a Mcmahon pulled a slide job and ran into Sweet, I dont think it was intentional but Sweet was full of emotion because its his home area and wanted to good is what i think happend.

Have you seen a WOO offical give a penalty or a black  flag for rough driving. Brad is a true gentleman and a good friend to Paul, but a man needs to stand his ground.  He should have kicked the ass of Madsen. 

Nobody on the tour is gonna kick Kerry's ass and likely few in the country.....

Isn't Kerry the one that made Jason Myers pee his firesuit a few years back during the Nationals and forget to go to the scales? I don't think there are too many that would mess with that guy.

Madsen is about as intimadating as a baby that just soiled it's nappy.  Most drivers don't there whole 2 car crew to back them up when confronting another driver. 

Why do you say that? Is he a black belt or something?

I watched the dirtvision feed as well as theCushion.com coverage. The video from theCushion.com shows really well that Paul used up Brad as they took a restart. Paul literally cannon balled up the track right into Brad giving him no courtesy whatsover. Then the camera cuts to a different bit of action for a second while there was even more contact resulting in Brad flipping in between turns 1 and 2. Look I like both these drivers but in this deal it was all Paul at fault and Brad had every right to be pissed off. I think Outlaws penalizing Brad is a bit ridiculous considering the team that suffered the most in that deal was Brad's. I've heard Paul has been overly aggressive at times this year but I can for certain say he demonstrated that in the video.

Now most importantly, when will Gibson address my question from another thread about why Pittman was allowed on the Saturday show to jump nearly every restart without ANY penalty?? That to me was a lot more ridiculous than Brad thumping Paul in the helmet a few times for ruining his Gold Cup chances. 

Cheers!

All the Outlaws drivers know they can roll to a four or five foot

advantage at the start of race when on the front row with local drivers.

Come on Henry thats just how it works. Kinser did it to Golobic Friday

night in the heat race. You think they are going to call the king for

jumping the start?

It is funny how times have changed, I can remember Hewitt pounding the hell out of a guy strapped in his car with his helmet off.  Then when Hewitt left the track, escorted, his wife went after a teenager in the wrong place at the wrong time. People loved that because it was Hewitt.

DA

I agree, which is why I try and hold a candle to their ass to make them validate their position which they never can do.

Cheers!

Paul has been told to be more aggressive or.......... Look at the way he took Kraig out on a restart...... look how he booted the 7 when he was held up and Donny passed him so he booted the lap car. Things may get even tougher when Luck gets jail time and starts squeeling about where all theses people money is and all have to return it or..........

Grew up in the bad part of town. Had to be tough just to survive. I was told by a good friend of Kerry's that the only person he fears is Ian.

Gotcha ya. There's a youtube video of him in his car going off on James McFadden. Its pretty funny! I've always enjoyed watching him race. It's great to see the successful season he is having as you can tell he's learned not to push so hard all the time.

His Dad ran a junkyard, technically he's a junkyard dog as the song goes.  But, the nicest one on the planet, been friends for years and is one of the good guys in racing who has worked hard for every scrap he's earned.  The man has paid his dues and I can't be more happy with the success he has rightly earned.....

+1    I'm very happy for Kerry and the great season he's had. I really hope American Racing is with him next year. I'll say it now. Kerry is going to be a contender for the title next season.

I remember last year at Las Vegas when Schatz and Kerry got together after the heat race costing Donny a front end.  I was standing near Donny's hauler when the car got back to the pits.  Someone asked if Schatz was going to go after Kerry.  Someone's replied, "Schatz aint that stupid.  Aint a driver in the pits that would mess with Madsen."

Seems to me like Paul is not making any friends these past few races. From the sounds of it on a start 

Lastnight on Dirtvision he got alittle nasty with the 83 car as well. IDK if Chad has put an Ultimatum  on Paul

or a Fear of Paul Loosing his ride. But if I were Paul stop while you have friends and fans.

or according to other bloggers on here Guess Everyone is afraid of the Madman because we know he's the only driver  

who GREW UP on THE WRONG side of town. So Paul before you piss off Madsen be careful!

Thank you for all the facts and clarifications!!!

glad to see the 83 congratulated Paul . Seems like the 83 team is always willing to lend a hand whenever

there is a wreck of some sort. I see those Roth Shirts think more teams should be like that!! Especially when you are on the rroad with 

the other teams as much as you are!

why did Paul make a comment about gravel running him into the bad part of the track. I didn't see anything on the cushion, maybe you could shed some light on that me. What did he mean about that? Thanks in advance

Id argue the guy he beat the hell out of (Saldana) mighta been tougher considering he went on to win the race.
