You nailed it there, Steve!!! I get so fed up with the dang reporters who just have to stick a mic and camera in a driver's face 10 minutes after some big altercation on the track!!!! If the driver even hint that somebody took him out then that's all you're going to hear about for the next week!!! Getting the winner's reaction when he gets out of the car in victory lane is one thing, but interviewing a driver when he's so mad he could spit nails and breath fire does nothing but give the unknowing casual race observer the impression that all racers are imbeciles!!!! If you want to have a new rule, make it a dang rule that every driver be granted a one hour cool down period before some lame brain reporter and camera crew get in his face!!!

For the majority of the media, Dan's death was nothing more then the story of the day---most of them won't remember his name by Friday....or earlier if Kyle Busch gets another speeding ticket!!!! Freedom of the press is a wonderful thing, just too bad that it isn't limited by common sense. \

But then, common sense just isn't that common anymore, is it?????
