As a side note I wonder how much longer Rolex will put up with this before they pull their sponsorship.

48.4 of the IMSA Code! Good.

One race suspension? That's all?
And...the wrong guy resigned

that's a more stringent penalty than we've seen in a long time from IMSA, ALMS, or GA (that I can recall, for on-track problems).
IMO Kearby needs to go run a season of IMSA Lites before returning, but hey his check cleared...

Both serious incidents that took out contenders . Both avoidable and a huge potential for serious injury. Penalized only one race? This is ridiculous.. This isn't hockey. A clear risk to other drivers......

professional (or quasi-professional) racing, you pay your money you take your chances....
I can think of few other pro series where contact like that would have gotten a race ban (F1, Indy, NASCAR, etc)...it's extremely rare to park a driver for dangerous moves. probation, yes; bans, no.

Thanks for posting VR. Marshall lives nearby and is an excellent writer and huge racing enthusiast. Nice young man as well. I guess he calls them as he sees them.
Some of my local contacts are very close with people involved/formerly involved with stewardship (including names mentioned here), and the general feeling I get is that what we know about and hear about is only a partial picture.
Let's hope the situation improves rapidly and that this form of racing has a bright future.
