NASCAR IS BACK AND SO ARE THE TEMPERS!(VIDEO)

NASCAR is back with their Pre-Daytona 500 Budweiser Shootout at 8pm on Fox Saturday. The buzz for the new season was kicked into high gear with the actions of Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch during practice on Friday. After Stewart got into the back of Busch, Busch came along-side Stewart and rammed him. Then as he left to enter the garage area, Busch nearly hit one of Stewart's crew members as they were coming to Tony's aid and to give some attitude to Busch. Mud Free Sports is a big fan of Tony Stewart and we like this type of racing. Why not make it interesting? This will make viewers turn into an otherwise afterthought of a race. NASCAR did speak to both drivers immediately after the incident and told them to stay clear of each other. NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter said officials have not decided whether to penalize either driver, but delivered a stern warning.

"You two guys better give each other plenty of space," Hunter said. "You clearly understand where we are with this and we're going to continue to think about it."
Hunter said any resulting penalties would be announced Monday or Tuesday
