This stuff will happen in Any form of competition. Nobody is making them race just like nobody is making me be a police officer. I know the risks of my job and they should know the risk of entering a "Race"! Let them be grown ups and take responsibity for their actions in becoming a professional "Racer" and Not try to hold their hands when a simple racing incident happens because a human makes a mistake or era in judgement. Now if said racer has a history of many "aggressive" or "irresponsible" actions in a repeated nature, then yes they need to take a look at some form of repremand. This is just racing!

Yes Reed did blatantly attempt to run Stewart off the track in Vegas a couple years ago, and no one seemed to care. He also caused the Atlanta crash this year that enabled him to finish in front of Stewart. There are only a small handful of people that really have the credibility to criticize either one of these talented men's riding ability. All the top level racers need to ride on the edge.

But when a rider is riding as out-of-control as Stewart is... consistently as Stewart is... then yes. Something should be done. I don’t think one incident is enough to penalize someone.

Great homemade video.Shows it all in quite detail. It also looks like Rossi got his started with one last bump on his own.

Always has been. Always will be. You don't see Reed and Stoner crying for restitution - so why should we? They recognize the vagaries of the sport, accept them and move on. So should we. That’s racing.

See here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYNe6VzhNo0&feature=player_embedded I think Rossi pulled a bit of a bonehead move, something someone with his talent would never do when on a better bike.

He does things on a bike no one else has thought of - or can do. I don't think anyone else could have stayed with his bike all those times he was out of control in the whoops in Arlington. And that's the crux of the matter - he's riding out of control. He's going to end up cutting someone's career short. I was a big Stewart fan when he arrived on the scene.
