Will "Have at it boys" hurt the small tracks?

Most everyone that follows the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in America is aware of the incident that happened at Darlington Raceway's pit road between Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch.

Someone mentioned in the time it took for Harvick to unbuckle, fight the straps, remove the wheel 2x and start heading toward Busch's car that NASCAR easily could have had officials and equipment down there to calm, referee, stop the incident.

NASCAR chose to do nothing. That is a loud message that what happened on pit road was NASCAR approved.

The next "have at it boys" could be even more shocking.

How boring the racing at small tracks will become under the shadow of this Grandest of all Demo Derbies taking place in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

What will the home-track fans think in the future when a car is sent to the back for turning the leader? Or when a fight ensues and drivers are thrown off the track? Will the fans be satisfied or will it look wimpy to them?

Even the famous incidents from the past are at risk of being replaced by Brian France's new NASCAR "show".

And remember many of these smaller tracks and series are NASCAR sanctioned. Fans are paying to see NASCAR...which now contains a lot more than racing. Somehow I don't think the face painting, historic cars, jumping rooms are going to be a big enough draw, a big enough addition to just watching a race.

Why go to the local track when the national enquirer--NASCAR Enquirer is on live TV?

And now that NASCAR has set a new precedence in racing, if the local home tracks and grassroots racing series decide to follow the NASCAR lead and allow fighting and the smashing, crashing of equipment (with only the smallest of fines/penalties) what will eventually happen to an already declining car count? Will death and injury occur on the short tracks by those trying to be stars of the BF NASCAR show?

What will all this do to these already struggling short tracks and "little" series?
