Well Tom, lets look at other athletes and their problems that have a greater impact on fans and the media as well as young on lookers.
Michael Vick: In Fed Prison, will play football once he gets out, not banned by the NFL......
Ricky Williams: Look at all of the drug charges and suspensions, yet, he is back in the NFL playing.....
Ray Lewis: Accused of killing a man in Atl., beat the case in court, no suspension from the NFL......
Pac Man Jones: Convicted of Attempted Murder, Did time, allowed to play in NFL, nobody picked him up, so now he is a wrestler.....
I could go on and on for days, we have not eve tipped the iceberg on Baseball, Basketball and even hockey.....
We had a player in Atlanta, Drunk, Driving his Ferrari, wrapped it around the telephone pole, killed the passenger (his best friend) did time while recovering, now plays in the NHL, but not in Atlanta......
Nick has not even been convicted of anything yet, Nick has not even committed to running a the season this year.......
So why all of the fuss over a maybe or a could be???????
If there are drivers out there as good as Nick, they need to attend a qualifier, or attempt to buy a provisional.
Nick went to his first event using a FD provisional and finished 4th, he earned his liscence in 2007, finished in the top 16 in points so his license is awarded for 2008.......
What Nick does outside of an event we have no control over. I am sorry that he injured his best friend in the crash, I feel for Johns family and hate for that to happen to anyone, much less someone we all knew.
When a judge rules against Nick, if that is the case, that is when the Drifting Organizations have to step in and make their decisions.
