2008 ARCA @ Toledo - Speed and Stenhouse wreck hard

Point leader Scott Speed was put into the turn three wall by second-place point man Ricky Stenhouse and damaged the right side of his car. With the championship lost, Speed decided to make sure the guy who ruined his title hopes wasn't going to take home the trophy either. The result is a hard crash in turn one.

Speed had every reason to be upset at Stenhouse's overly aggressive move Stenhouse later said he got down onto tracks rumble strips, which got him loose and sent him into Speed

Whatever, Ricky

But Speed deserves criticism for how he dealt with it Speed lost his cool and threw away his shot at a championship Speed returned to the track in 31st position but all he needed to do was place in the top 17 to clinch the title Speed blew it, especially considering how the race turned into a crash-fest.

Holy SHIT people here are retarded. It's fucking obvious that stenhouse wrecked speed but speed was still wrong to wreck stenhouse. THE ENDS DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS. They are both fucking idiots

[osubuckeyes14]

yeah you're probably right

[Javadamutt]

Simple, you do not go out to crash your car reguardless if the other guy did it first. Speed was unprofessional and a good driver never looses his cool. He done that numours times with torro rosso teaam boss. Hes just a prat IMO

You should of seen him in F1. Highlight of his career was making way for Vettel

scott speed sucks. He thinks he's all that.

[osubuckeyes14]

everyone is getting mad at scott speed here for no reason. stenhouse destroyed his championship hopes ON PURPOSE, so stenhouse would have won the championship. scott speed did the right thing here. if you get wrecked by a guy just so the other guy can win the championship, you aren't going to let that guy win it.

can you actually word that so it makes sense. no one cares if you were at the race that doesn't make you the all knowing being, Speed was leading the points and Stenthouse drove him to the wall in turn 3, if you ask me, they should've DQ'd Stenthouse right there. Speed made an excellent remark when he said ' he blatantly put me in the wall, he's not gonna win a championship like that '

ok this is how i view it, i was at the race, the autograph session i met stenhouse he was saying nothing about anything he knew he had to do something. i was at the flagmans stand when everything was going on it was wrong to do something like that to anybody scot was in the autograph session " yo man i got my hat sideways man i love yall man i am acting like a wang yo" i think that they should have dQ him before the race

Stenhouse is the only idiot here, obviously Scott wasn't thinking straight after Stenhouse wrecked him. Yes he was wrong but Stenhouse was more in the wrong because he blatently wrecked scott for no reason, Scott had a reason.

Works on an ARCA team ehh? I thought you said you were a saftey official? Hmmm I smell bullshit.

i was at that race sitting at the end grandstand in turn 1. i had a perfect view of speed wrecking stenhouse. to me that seems unsportsmanlike, and i think that they should have fined scott speed.
