   I tell you the same thing I teel anybody else - any racer who blatently
puts another racer out should at least be suspended for a few weeks.  When
Earnhardt flipped Rusty I wish they kicked him out of racing forever.  Same
thing goes for D.W.  That was not just 'hard racing' that was 'if I can't
eat
him, I'll wreck him racing'.  If it had been a situation where even one of my
favorite drivers like my uncle, Rusty Wallace had tagged someone like Ernie
Irvan and had sent Derrike Cope flipping I would still say they should at
least get Rusty off the track for the rest of that race.  Yeah sure I can see
something happening, but what I can't see is why if you can't pass someone
ou
just wreck them.  That's what I don't get.
   You shouldn't go making accusations when you don't know the facts.  Maybe
haven't gone 190+, but I have gone a few laps around Talladega, Daytona, and
almost any other track you could name.

   I agree with you, Irvan has done quite well, but throughout the years
Jarrett has been a better racer, not to mention cleaner.  I don't cheer for
either of these two drivers, but I still think if you put only them on the
track Jarrett would be the better racer.
