I for one would like to know that NASA has some way of following up when a questionable driver is identified. Not that anyone has to have a personal vendetta against the guy to make sure he gets blackballed everywhere, but "that guy" could exsist in any group, and we know he/she does, and I for one am interested in weeding them out. Preferably BEFORE incidents happen that endanger lives.It wasn't I that was almost run over on grid, my cold kept me indoors most of this event. It's not a trumped up story though, he did blatantly ignore a grid worker's instructions to stop, he did burn some rubber right there in front of a grid worker who was attempting to get clarification on where to send the driver, and he did pull out of the false grid onto a hot track just barely in front of the pace car (cutting Tony off). I got to see all this as I was standing at the end of pit road organizing the bookler flaggers.
Matt, if it's you that almost got run over in grid, (I don't know who it was) I would hope you'd think the same way. And I hope you're doing something about it. If that was a trumped up story and he really didn't endanger anyone in grid, then so be it, we can let it go. I do know firsthand however that Tony sure thinks the guy was dangerous, as he was quite vocal about being cut off.
The driver has been dealt with, as Chad already mentioned, as a result of the driver's conduct on Sat & Sun his license has been revoked. Nothing other than that in regards to the punishment really needs to be discussed.
