Why hasn't Tony Stewart been docked any points for saying "Bullshit" on National TV after he won the Brickyard race Sunday? They docked JR last year. So why not Stewart this year? I think that is "Bullshit"! JMO

I mean, how else would you expect someone to react to wrecking or getting wrecked after they have so much pressure on them as it is! Saying a cussword on t.v. is ridiculous as NASCAR tries to preach too much emphasis about kids watching it and so on. If they feel that strongly about it, then get rid of your alcohol and liquor cars and sales at the track! NASCAR is becoming a joke, more and more every year IMO!

In a recent announcement TIDESHOSS32 has been docked 25 poiints for the use of bullsh&* in a post.
However, TIDESHOSS32 was also awarded 50 BONUS points for calling Brian France a pansy.
BTW, I agree, there is no way Stewart or anyone else should be penalized points for a language violation but NASCAR set precedent a couple of years ago.

And saying BS doesn't hurt NASCAR, and if fans HONESTLY FELT THAT STRONGLY about it over saying BS, then HOW do THE FANS look past the LIQUOR and BEER is MY POINT! It might not make money for saying BS, but it SURE DOESN'T lose any of it either! It brings fans to watching interviews alot more often than not if there is heat between 2 drivers now doesn't it. So in that aspect, you could say that saying little things like BS could make NASCAR money, because PEOPLE in GENERAL watch for things like this! IT DRAWS ATTENTION MEANING RATINGS GO UP, MEANING MORE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN! And one more thing, I am not asking for changes and could care less if drivers had terets and cussed every breath or if they drunk shots of jack during interviews, saying a cussword and getting a $25,000 fine and docked 25 points is BS! Whether it is Tony, Dale or Jeremy Mayfield, lol!
Second...NASCAR doesn't like to be made into a fool on national TV by a ballsy driver with a loud mouth like Stewart. Remember when he was saying NASCAR was "rigged" on Sirius radio earlier this year? Dale Jr. was given the same penalty before, so it stands and Tony knew what was coming and loves to stir the pot. It's making him more popular every race.
Saying BS doesn't make NASCAR money, alcohol and liquor do, just like cigarettes used to, so NASCAR will never make those kinds of changing you are asking for in terms of being family friendly.
Besides, the reporter, Dave Burns is an idiot. He was asking stupid questions like, "Are you going to climb the fence?" I honestly don't blame Stewart for saying "BS" to Burns.

This was all caught on film and couldn't imagine if anything was brought to the attention to the "NEW" Frances...They would suspend all 3 for LIFE! That is the difference between now and then!
