Hunter Patton’s license has been suspended until January 1, 2023 and until completion of anger management sessions, after an unacceptable on-track actions at South Georgia Motorsports Park, an NHRA member track. The action is appealable.

How many big money or heck any bracket race even require a license? There is zero tech and plenty of people with no license or even pants racing. This will only effect him going to Divisional and National events for a year. You haters all happy now?

Ain't no way NHRA will do anything. It might have occured at a NHRA track but it was not at a NHRA sanctioned event and no NHRA personnel were onsite to witness it.
It was 100% on the promoter of this event to do something and he didnt so its done

In the past, NHRA had suspended a driver, and he attempted to compete at one of our events at Virginia Motorsports Park. If he had been allowed to race, the track's sanctioning would have been in jeopardy.

In the Hunter Patton case, we didn't initially make a statement to suspend him because he doesn't race with us in the first place. That being said, I support NHRA's suspension, and will enforce it at Loose Rocker events. Additionally, anyone pulling this stunt at one of our events will be suspended indefinitely. This type of action has absolutely ZERO place in our sport, and will not be tolerated.

I am by no means condoning what he did here but all you internet Nazi's and goody two shoe posters better watch what you wish for. You really want NHRA to stick their nose in this and start messing with local/big money bracket races?

I sure hope all you people have all your stuff up to date, licenses. pants, jackets, gloves, etc. Chassis certifications. And oh yeah, all you guys going quicker than 4.49 better have your -15 suit and neck restraint on or some internet nazi is going to publically hang you and get the track in trouble with NHRA if they don't enforce the rules.

We all agree what he did was wrong and the track should have handled it differently but they didn't. Do you really want big brother sticking their noses in here?
