Fan Stabbed: A man is accused of stabbing a fellow NASCAR fan Sunday at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Henry County [GA] Magistrate Robert Godwin set a $15,000 bond for Guy Landrum, 42, after hearing police testimony that Landrum stabbed a man after stumbling through his campsite. Deputy Mike Haralson told Godwin that Landrum was drunk Saturday night when he knocked over a trash can, kicked around trash and had an argument with another man at a campsite. Landrum came back Sunday, Haralson said, and renewed the argument, then pulled out a knife and stabbed the man on the left side of his torso. The man was treated and released at a local hospital. Landrum is scheduled to appear again before the court April 7. Henry County Sheriff's Maj. Keith McBrayer said this was the most serious of about 15 arrests at Sunday's Golden Corral 500, which drew more than 100,000 fans.(AJC/AP)(3-17-2004)

Probably a disgruntled Jeff Gordon fan

 

Sounds like something a Gordon fan would do

 

15 Arrests at one race... wow... those are some rowdy boys... I wonder what the average arrest rate is for the circuit...? LOL!!

I'd say that quite a few arrests are made in the course of a season. But you wouldn't think it would be for anything that serious.

 

I agree... but 15 in ONE RACE...? I wonder if all races are like that... Ahh, well, it's what you get when you're drinking... LOL!!

Went to a couple of NASCAR races when I lived in N.C.. At times they reminded me of a rock concert, a political rally, an anti-whatever protest, and New Year's in Times Square.
Pretty wild and rowdy crowd especially towards the end of the race. Saw maybe 1/2 dozen "arrests", mostly for public intoxication. Nothing really serious though...[sm=smiley5.gif]

 

Never been to a Nascar race however a Devils-Rangers game is just as dangerous. And for the record. I hate the Rangers !!!

 

Enjoy watching the NHL games and have to admit, they are exciting and interesting as any other sport.....too bad they depend on ice. How 'bout roller skates, instead?
