I don't think the crew should be fined or get in any trouble. The radio was made for the crew and drivers not for the fans. It is to talk about the car and let out frustration. In no way should it be anyone but the networks fault.

Someone made a comment about Jr's fine 2 years ago, about it being live. FYI, you can broadcast a live interview, or anything else intended to be live, ie. the SUPER BOWL the last 2 years, with a small delay to give people time to bleep out undesirables and not lose the whole "live" nomenclature. Fox/NBC, whoever, can play a race "live", with a few second delay, and no one will be any the wiser. It will, however, give the network enough time to pull out whatever they don't want to hit the air. Personally, I think the networks should get fined not anyone associated with NASCAR when a driver or crew member swears and it makes it on the air. It's their job to stop that before it gets out, not the crews job to censor their emotions in the heat of the moment.

Hey rose916 and Pocono, welcome to the forum, glad you found us! We have alot of fun here. As far as the fining of swearing - they should let it alone! It's the consequences of listening to a private conversation. I hear all these people complaining about a swear word - but what about all the shows that are just down right violent, or the ones that make little punk bullies - heros, and I'm just speaking of CARTOONS! Or all the "sex" on shows? That's alright, but all hell breaks loose if somebody swears.

I agree but NASCAR doesn't see it that way. Our local paper had an article this AM about swaering and how it has increased over the past twenty years and how it is more accepted. Either way I agree that the network should be held accountable for its content and they have the ability to monitor it and if they mess up (*%^#@) then they should pay a fine.

The BIG difference in Jr's slip and this one is that the crew chief was talking to his driver without knowledge that he was being aired, Jr' had a microphone stuck in his face.

[rose916]

^^^^^^^^^this is true

radio is for driver team owner communication--not for the public

that should not have been aired 20 seconds after the wreck...so not smart
your bound to get some emitions doing that

It seems that it is all about emotions. Jr gets the wrath of NASCAR for a bad word but Stewart gets nothing from his attempt to injure another driver at Daytona. And always thought that justice was supposed to be applied equally to all ???? Wrong again.

I have to chime in on this one...

Has anyone ever heard the expression "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"?

Our Country's morals are back-a55ward, if you ask me.

Yates: At least you've got it right. How can people get upset about a WORD and not get upset about violence? I'd rather have my kid cursed-at than beat-up.

And, along those lines, (You may disagree here, Yates) I'd rather they see a Tit than watch someone kill someone else (which occurs in just about every movie these days). The former being a gift from God, the latter being the devil's work.

Let's stop acting like kindergarteners: snickering over boobs and dirty words, and start trying to reduce our worldly-unsurpassed violent crime record. Or else, I'll kill you.

Well FOX didn't know that Bono was going to say **** so I mean they really shouldn't get in trouble for that
