Woman slaps NASCAR driver; gets banned and fined thousands

[Hotwheels]

The law had nothing to do with it.

She was banned from all NASCAR sanctioned events and fined by the sanctioning body.

I'd guess she had a crew pass as she is one of the drivers GF's and was in the pit area. Since those are issued by Nascar, they can revoke them and fines are regularly levied against teams, drivers and crew members for various incidents.

I can certainly see where muc is coming from.

They were on camera.
The right way to have handled this was to say that she's just a emotional little girl that have problems controlling herself and give her a pat on the head.

If she had kept it up after that then of course, go ahead and ream her legally.

 

[WanderingSoul]

Alright, whatever.

But where I grew up, women are emotional beings, and men are not affected by their emotional outbursts that much - or at all. I sure as hell would not have lawyers earn money over bullshit situations like that. And who the fuck knows, maybe he even deserved that slap.

I didn't see anywhere in the article that the driver is spending money on lawyers to have this happen, or asked for it to happen, or is even endorsing the punishment.

I am reading that NASCAR fined and banned her. I see nothing about the driver pushing for it, so your argument is irrelevant.

You are trying to make him sound like a pussy for pressing charges or lawyering up, when I didn't read anywhere in that article about that actually happening.

Do you have a link to where you are seeing him getting lawyers and/or pressing charges? Or even asking NASCAR to do this?

Correct.

This is no different from there being a forum rule prohibiting women.

No one called the cops. NASCAR just decided they didn't want her trashy ass on their facilities.

What's the problem with that?

You have to treat women like what they are - children.

Not sure where you are from. But in the USA men have almost no way to protect themselves. The laws prevent it. If this man even would have tried to scare her afterwards he could have been arrested. Much less slapped her back.

So the only way for men here to protect themselves is to use the giant police state and laws.

I'm German. (Certified Beta-Man country, according to RoK. ) Yeah it sucks, you are ruining your country with all that B.S. And probably my country will soon follow. Doesn't matter, I'll just emigrate to Russia and be happy.

In this case YOU are actually the white-knight.

This bitch needs to be put in her place somehow. In the old days it would be physical retaliation and a good 'ol fashion smack-down. Nowadays we've got to give women a taste of their own medicine and handle shit legally. And you're saying that nothing should be done? That women should get away with this? That's exactly what's been going on for decades now and look where it's gotten men in this country.

It's not weak or un-masculine to hold women accountable for their behavior. It's not weak to punish women as if they were a child.

It's necessary.

I sympathize with muc. In an ideal world, the driver would slap her back, the audience would applaud and say 'good riddance.' Even if she were my girlfriend, I wouldn't object to another man slapping her - you get uppity and violent like that, you deserve what's coming to you. You're not excepted from justice because I put my dick inside you.

With a solution like this, think about all the bureaucratic bullshit that has to be done. You have to have a commissioner levy the fine, you have to have someone collect it, and on and on. It also means you have no right to uphold natural law, and instead are at the behest of authorities. A slap is immediate, intimately connecting the offense with the succeeding punishment.

This woman gets fined - what are the odds that the money comes from her boyfriend? So he loses a couple Gs because his girlfriend is a crazy fuck.

Another 'women empowerment / diversity' experiment is teetering on the brink of the abyss.

TL;DR - godaddy .com will end their sponsorship of Danica Patrick's Nascar Sprint Cup campaign this year. They were the primary backers of her car and have an almost decade-long association with her through various racing series. This is also the final year of her 3 year deal with the four-car, star-studded Stewart Haas Racing team. All 3 of her team-mates are former Sprint Cup champions. The owners have a tricky decision to make as even star drivers struggle to sign up season-long sponsorships, which is critical because it costs up to $500 000 to run the car at each of the 36 races.

Danica Patrick is a 100 pound, 5 ft 2 in 'racing' driver. She well-known for 'racing' with the men in various series. Here's the bare truth - my searches show she has never been champion in any series - an incredible fact given that that is often the only way for emerging talents to progress to professional racing. Given her obvious lack of success, for a long time her claim to fame was a single win in Indycars (in a 115 race career where she finished a race in the top 3 only 7 times). More recently, she was in pole position for the Daytona 500.
In Nascar Sprint Cup she has only one pole and 6 top 10s in 91 races and her best single season points table finish is 27th.
All in all since she'll probably never win another race in any series, each of her career highlights are spread about 5 or more years apart.

YOU GO GIRL!
