    To look at it another way everyone is saying that Bob Pierce (old man) and the Pierce racing team should be penalized for coming out on the track. If you are saying that then shouldn't the Gundakers be penalized for coming out on the track when Gordy got flipped on Friday night. Both happened during red light situations, all be it for different reasons, but it could have escalated into something different especially due to the nature of the wreck (contact with another car). If you want to insure complete safety and you bring up the Stewart incident then only track personnel should be on the track at any time.
    Was Bobby potentially injured? Did the Gundakers start throwing punches at Gordy's head when they ran into the track? Terrible comparison.

      You spelled clowns wrong.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

When Bloomer and Freddy Smith had had a similar altercation at WVMS years ago there wasn't a 10 page thread on 4M about fines and suspensions. The only person that needs disciplined is Bob Pierce. If any other spectator had pulled what he pulled they would have been banned and arrested. The WOO official shouldn't have been on the track either, WRG should take action against him as well. Rivalries in racing are a good thing. Let it play out.
          I agree with Gear Head 100% but I do not think this is how it will go down.

            I agree with this assessment. Tyler Erb definitely earned what ever penalties come his way (deserves both a suspension and a fine). Also, Bob Pierce will probably be penalized for coming onto the track.

                Crew never belong on the track for any reason. Doesn't matter if their car is upside down or there is an alien landing.

                  WoO World Finals

WoO doesn't have any more big events coming up and most dates compete with Lucas. Or WoO is off on the big Lucas events. Only thing would be World finals but that doesn't pay chit anyway and might not even happen.
                  The finals are still are a go. No decision on fans attending yet. The pits are plenty big for social distancing.

                    Double secret probation for Erb til the end of the year. No sanctions against Bobby Pierce. Bob Pierce suspended from the pits til the end of the year. The era of people coming onto the track has to end.

                      Crew (or parents) going out on the track to confront is a definate punishable offense. That’s just plain dangerous. In this case everyone has a part in it. Hated to see the official dragged to the ground. People jumping on the official on here....we don’t know what was said or what his actions were other than clearly trying to get Bob Sr. Out of ErbS window. Maybe the official added to the problem, maybe not. they just cant stand there and let the $hitstorm build further. The crew member (dad) going onto the track and into the Erb car window was the biggest infraction.

                        Most will agree with you......many in oakwood will not see it that way.
