Man arrested after he heard others ‘talking trash’ on NASCAR
If you watched more than one of Sunday’s Formula 1, IndyCar and NASCAR races, we understand the need to compare the races you watched. Especially on the heels of a thrilling Indianapolis 500 that had 37 lead changes.
And if you watched the races in the company of others, you possibly had a discussion about your comparisons. Did you disagree with the person you were comparing races with? Did you disagree with other people who were comparing the races or the series that participate in them? If it was the latter, we hope you didn’t have the reaction that this Indiana man did.
David Wilson, 57, was arrested Sunday on charges of domestic battery and strangulation after he heard his fiancee and another talking about IndyCar and NASCAR. We’ll let RTV-6 in Indianapolis take it from here:
Wilson’s fiancée told police they had been drinking all day. She said Wilson became angered when he heard her and another person talking about IndyCar being better than NASCAR.
Wilson told police he was in the kitchen making dinner when he heard his fiancée and another person “talking trash about NASCAR.” He said he yelled into the room at both of them, but denied a physical altercation taking place.
He was also reportedly mad that he didn’t have any help doing chores around the house.
We’re not going to attempt to settle the debate about the two series. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and any feelings you have against the other series. But we’re also going to say with some certainty that the 500 was the most entertaining race of the day. If you disagree with us, let us know via email, Twitter or in the comments below. We’re open to a discussion. But not a fight.
