ESPN reporting ts deciding not to race today in light of incident. I got a feeling NASCAR had something to do with that decision.

Smart move, whoever made the decision.

Judging by this thread, there are plenty of people who have already convicted Stewart of murder and are ready to string him up, without knowing all the facts.

There's always a chance that someone like that would try to be the executioner on the track today.

More like pressure from Bass Pro Shops and Exxon Mobil, two of the main sponsors of Stewart's #14 car. They saw a potential public relations fiasco from Stewart racing and asked Stewart not to race for the good of the sponsorship companies involved.

Just so you know. NASCAR is a dictatorship. Whatever they say goes.

One thing is for sure. They would not have to tell me I cant race.

I would still be in shock and on my knees

ESPN isn’t racing today?

OR ESPN isn’t going to broadcast the race today?

Which is it?
