Revved Up! Readers React to Week's Biggest Racing News, Oct. 27 Edition

Bubba Wallace crashed into Kyle Larson and apologized for it. Tony Stewart is in the middle of controversy and attention. This week's mailbag includes some of the best comments from readers. If you want to add your thoughts on a particular topic, send us a note at [email protected].

Tony wants to do drag racing because it's a low-drama sport. He will be mad about something all the time once he competes there.

Tony Stewart helped make NASCAR. Jeff Gordon and Johnson helped to make the sport. Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi agree that winning the Indianapolis 500 is more historic and meaningful than being a NASCAR Cup champion.

Jed2313's comment about Stewart staying in IndyCar was spot-on. Jerry Bonkowski wonders what might have happened if Jeff Gordon stayed in sprint cars. 32d3252's analysis of Tony's future in NHRA is wrong.

Tony's remarks about NHRA remind mgbgt1 of the good old days in NASCAR. IMSA is the same way.

When Tucker started going to NASCAR races, you could go in the pits after the race to get autographs or just talk to the drivers. Now it's not as cool as it was in mid 60s through all the 70s.

The atmosphere at NHRA events is great. Drivers, Crews, Officials and paying fans enjoy the show and competition. I haven't been to a National in over a decade.

Bubba Wallace crashed three cars and almost injured a driver. He also tried to fight a man 50+ pounds lighter than him. Motionman thinks that NASCAR should be fair across the board with penalties and fines.

Tony Stewart is considering a move to NHRA. He has won three NASCAR Cup championships and co-owns one of the most successful Cup teams. Tony can easily race for another 10 to 15 years. He is the right person for the struggling NHR. Jerry Bonkowski picks him in a Funny Car. JB has been around Tony for 20 years and he's impressed with his outspokenness.

Roxie44 wonders why NASCAR is banning the Confederate flag and yet having the Dixie Vodka 400.

Bubba should watch Larson instead of wrecking & bullying him.

Kyle Larson is in every race to win. Tony Stewart won three of 10 races in 2005 and went on to become a NASCAR champion. The eventual 2022 Cup champion will have to go through Larson to get the title. Readers react to the week's biggest racing news. The article is based on the readers' comments.

Andretti bought Herta as a property rather than as an F1 driver.

Herta will be locked in to the team. If Andretti finds a way into Formula One as a team owner, he could release Herta from his contract or renegotiate a seat for Hertan.

Michael Andretti signed Herta to a five-year contract extension. Jerry Bonkowski thinks Herts will be IndyCar champion in 2023 or 2024. He will earn enough points to qualify to race in Formula 1.

Brad Pitt treated Martin Brundle like some random schlep during the grid walk.

Iwantmy1LE thinks that Pitt's behavior at the F1 event was poor.

Brad Pitt was at COTA and got dissed by Brundle. Jerry Bonkowski is not a big fan of Brad Pitt. He thinks Brunderle was smart to move on and forget about the diss.

Verstappen fought his way back from 6th place to pass Hamilton.

Verstappen has won two championships in a row and is on track to have his name mentioned with some of Formula 1's greats. Jerry Bonkowski believes Verstapen is forming his own legacy.

The Speedvision team of Derek Daly, David Hobbs and Sam Posey was the best sportscasting team in the UK. Sky's sport coverage is full of good information, but at 8:00 on a Sunday morning it's a bit much.

It would be nice to have North American announcers. The British announcer's voices get louder when they get excited. BBC coverage on SiriusXM is more understandable. Martin Brundle tried to chat up celebrities before the race. Most people didn't want to talk to him.

Johnnyjewel has a problem with Brits on Sky.

ESPN should have its own team of announcers. Some of the announcer's fake excitement rubs Jerry Bonkowski the wrong way. There will be three races in the U.S. starting next year and a half dozen in North and South America. ESPN should bring on either a full crew of its announcers or at the very least have a team for those races.
