Suffice to say, the part-time IndyCar driver was not impressed with his antics at all. He said, “That was ridiculous. I’ve never been turned into on a straight line like that in car racing ever in life. He just flat out turned to the right and out of pure frustration.”
“It’s ridiculous, and I think he tried to take officiating into his own hands and you can’t be that heated while you’re driving a race car.”
“He let his emotions get the best of him today, but I’ve seen that with him. He walks around like he’s the big man on campus around here and everything.”
