   No, that's not what I meant.  I would want any diver off the track at
east
for the rest of the race if not forever.  If you actually watched a race,
you'd know that's just racing, NOT hitting people in the back corner panel
trying to knock them out.  Don't give me that BS about some people can handle
it better than others, what about when DW hit Davey Allison in the left
orner
panel and flipped him?  Would you say let him stay out there even though he's
been driving over agressivly?

  I never blamed Dale for wrecking Ernie.  Even if he had, I wouldn't blame
him because of all the Dale lovers who think Dale can do no wrong.  Every
driver makes mistakes.  How about the time Dale flipped Rusty?  Would you say
that was Dale's fault or Rusty's fault for trying to race clean??
