Tennessee tracks vow to uphold each other's fighting suspensions

The tracks I grew up going to made it much simpler and it worked for many years.

1) Nobody, except drivers and track personnel, will be allowed on the track unless it's to save a trapped driver in a fire. If you do get on the track for any other reason your go to jail, no questions asked.

2) Regardless of outcome or circumstance, whichever driver goes to another driver's pit area is the one at fault and they are the ones suspended. This includes your crew too.

Lancaster speedway in SC used to have an county law . It was called creating a disturbance at a motorsport event. It was not a criminal charge . It was a civil law. The fine was 500 dollars. So you could fight all you wanted but it was going cost you 500$.

No room for it in the sport today. Communities all over the country are looking for reasons to shut down local short tracks, that have been surrounded by developing business, condos and housing. Typically they go after noise ordinances first, then committees will start pulling police information. Draw as little negative attention as possible now days.

I agree. Nice to see the tracks working together.
