KANSAS CITY, Kan. - NASCAR may be considering penalizing drivers who fail to
meet media obligations following race events, said Jim Hunter, NASCAR's vice
president for corporate communications.
Hunter said Sunday the sanctioning body will review the policies of other
professional sports regarding media responsibilities of participants.

His comments came after driver Bill Elliott refused to attend a post-race
news conference Sunday. Elliott finished second in Sunday's Banquet 400 at
Kansas Speedway.

Jamie McMurray, the rookie of the race, also failed to attend the post-race
news conferences.

Typically, the top-three finishers in each race, along with the
highest-finishing rookie, are required to attend post-race media news
conferences.

I guess comments after the race just aren't enough.

N$ is going to push the issue and we will have drivers who don't want to be
there letting the press know that they don't want to be there.

"No comment" "Next stupid question" "Whatever!" "You have a chive stuck
between your teeth"

Will N$ make it a rule that they have to be cordial as well?

It all reminds me of a movie. Think it was called
"Wag the Dog or Wagging the Dog". Dustin Hoffman plays a Hollywood
producer, and he produces a war to help a politician's approval points
..
Kinda like NASCAR's publicity machine.
