Creepshow

One of the guys that got shot, Marty Benge, said that there was a fight after the race with multiple people involved, then somebody pulled a gun.

Benge has been banned from the Speedway. He admits that he's not "100% innocent," which makes it sound like he was one of the people starting the fight.

Its a shame if the feds and state enforced Current gun laws to the max the effect would be immediate. Including giving or selling a felon a fire arm. But moaning about a imaginary gun show loop hole is more the politicians style

Up to ten years if the feds charge him but they rarely do. Though being he is on Federal probation they might. They rarely prosecute to the fullest extent in State court and its a shame cause that charge alone carries 12 to 26 month in state court., From what I have saw in the local paper its usually dropped in plea bargains in the rare cases it is even charged

Probably go away for awhile on this one.

The record posted shows state charges, Since he was on FEDERAL probation it means a federal case , so he prob hasn't cleaned himself up very well

May need to check and see how many of those clean years were when he was in prison. Also the comment about who gave him the gun was more like who sold him the gun. Lots of 2nd admendment folks sell guns on the side with no background checks.

It looks like his felony record is from 1998, selling schedule II drugs (something like cocaine):



His last arrest was in 2000, and it looks like he had cleaned himself up over the last 20 years! But I guess maybe he just got better at hiding it... until he went psychotic and started shooting people in a crowd

It makes me wonder why he shot the other two people. Were they innocent victims of a psycho, were they trying to bully the wrong guy, or were they from his drug-dealing past?

I bet it is funny to watch them race around the track with curb feelers touching the wall to let them know how close they are, Then they head for the pit, pit crew removes tires and leaves the driver on jacks while they hop the fence with the tires. Then you see them pour a gallon of gas out of a milk jug and shove him off the jacks.

Maybe he was just expressing his support for Bubba Wallace.

So a POS. felon that had a gun he should go away for life and who ever gave him the gun should go goto jail as well. But little to nothing will happen to him.

Nothing official yet, just confirmation that 2 people were taken to the hospital for injuries and 1 person was "detained".
