“Have at it, boys” was supposed to be the rallying cry for NASCAR fans who were convinced that their beloved motorsport had lost every last ounce of personality possible. The slogan was meant to encourage a little bit of drama in the name of viewership and the ability to relate to an individual driver by the fan. It’s a fact that NASCAR’s popularity has a lot to do with a 1979 fistfight after the checkered flag dropped on the Daytona 500, but what about other ways of venting out the anger? Think back to the run-ins between Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski about ten years ago. Both drivers managed to catch the other and send them flying into the fence backwards, Edwards at Talledega in 2009 and Keselowski at Atlanta in 2010. Or you can look to British Touring Car racing and the kinds of tricks that Matt Neal and Jason Plato pulled (among others, of course) in the name of taking the checkered flag.

If you think that kind of racing doesn’t go down in Supercar racing in Australia, do we have something you need to see. In the best of circumstances, Supercar racing is intense and highly competitive. At the worst, though, it’s a fast-paced demolition derby crossed with a police chase and is fueled by passion, anger, the will to win…call it whatever you want to. But when you eliminate your competition by spinning them into a wall, that easily deserves a “dirty play” nomination.
