First, congrats to J Gordon for surpassing D Earnhardts 76 win record. And at Talladega to boot.
I watched the race, saw the ending, and was astonished at the amount of trash pelting the cars and the track after the checkered flag.
NASCAR has a pitiful reputation amongst many a person and though, according to NASCAR, the trash tossers are less than 1% of the fanbase, it still represents the fanbase to many who look at the sport through their preconceived notion and will use this poor demonstration to substantiate their perspective.
To those fans who are STUPID and thoughtless enough to have this poor display of emotion be your only outlet, shame on you. Stay home and let the well meaning fans represent the sports enthusiasts. Go spend your money on a batting cage or something, and quit putting other fans and drivers & tack staff at risk.
Kudos to NASCAR for added security and I hope those they caught get hefty a** fines. NASCAR will probably have to build taller fences!!
