Danny Eslick suspended, plead out
« on: March 22, 2016, 07:17:56 PM »
I don't know if you guys heard about this but it sucks. He's our guy and he's fast and crosses the finish line first, but AMA sb  suspended him for Daytona on this BS so he sat this year's Daytona out.  I guess he punced a cop or something.

He plead no contest because he got drunk and punched out a cop.  He didn't make excuses or try to weasel his way around it.  It sounds like he's owning his behavior.

I wasn't suggesting that punching a cop isn't respectable at all, just that there is usually some consequence involved and correct, he's moving forward by handling it like that.  He's really fun to party with when there aren't any cops around.

Eslick is a great racer.  Lots of talent across several disciplines.

Someone can be a great racer and also a douche bag when drunk.
