I am sitting in front of my keyboard with a lot to
say but too damn mad to put it into words. I know
everyone who watched the race had an opinion about
Larry McReynold's actions involving the track
worker who was trying to unhook the 31Lowe's
Chevrolet from the wrecker. Everyone in front of
my tv was wondering "Who the hell does that SOB
think he is??!!" For those who missed it, the
wrecker was bringing the 31 car in and starting to
unhook the hood which was, I believe, bungee
corded down. The worker jumps up on the car's
fender and starts doing his job. The 31 team went
nuts, Larry Mc showing his ass the most. The
worker is shoved off the car, Larry slaps him and
then damn near tries to run him down to get him
again. BAD MOVE LARRY! All I can say is he should
have taken a lesson from Sterlin Marlin whose car
was demolished after a wrecker who was pushing him
to his pit failed to stop when Sterlin was
signaling him that there was another car in front
of him stopped on pit road during the Nashville
race. Understandably, Sterlin was POed, who
wouldn't be? But he was a gentleman about it and
damn sure didn't take any swings at the wrecker
driver, although I am sure he felt like it. Yes,
tempers flare, but Larry needs to take a look at
the replay and see who caused the initial damage
and be swinging at him, not the wrecker worker who
could be the same guy Skinner needs to pull his
car to pit road in the next race. I can understand
McReynold's anger, but it should have been
directed at the driver, not a track worker. I hope
he gets more than the usual slap on the wrist for
this one. Terri Labonte made the remark that the
accident was the dumbest thing he had seen in a
long time, evidently Terri didn't see the 31 crew
chief showing his butt or he would have rearranged
the dumb and dumbest. I don't know about ya'll,
but if I were that worker and Mike Skinner's car
was wrecked, I'd think twice about rushing to get
him off the track: I, for one, would stand up and
cheer to see him try pushing that car onto pit
road, begging for help from the track workers. And
the workers watching, with grins on their faces,
thinking.... "You'll think twice before you take a
swing at one of us again MR. McREYNOLDS!" As for
that worker, he has an airtight case for assault
with more than half a million witnesses, who could
ask for more? I bet he'll have no trouble getting
passes for the rest of his life. Hey mister, I'll
be a witness... for a couple of the passes you'll
be offered not to go after McReynolds!! We all
have a right to dream don't we?!
