If NASCAR drivers are going to retaliate against their fellow competitors, they might get more than three weeks probation because of it.

They could find themselves in trouble with the law.

Drivers should be aware that if they intentionally wreck another driver and someone is injured, they could face criminal penalties, according to Winston-Salem, N.C., attorney John Morrow, whose firm has represented Richard Childress Racing.

Whether the charges would stick and whether those injured could successfully bring civil claims against the driver is a matter of debate, according to lawyers and educators who follow sports law.

Ok, Ill meet you and your ACLU lawyers in court! lol
What Carl did was really dumb, he knows it, he'll pay for it. Should his penalty hurt him financially and be suspended, absolutely! He screwed up and no matter how angry he was at Brad for what ever reason, we all saw what he did on the track, it was blatant, and extremely dangerous to the fans safety as well. Carl was the lucky one, his temper didn't kill anyone this time. Carl should have gone to Brads garage and socked him on camera after the race if he was that pissed off. Good race cars could race again, fans would be safe from debri, and hella good TV ratings
