[Pemberton, however, says Childress and others who speak out against NASCAR don't have to worry about being punished.] I used to speak out against them, and now I'm (working) here, ... So I don't think that that's fair to say. |
For repeat offenders, we might park somebody. |

You've got to remember, most everybody in the garage area is friends, and those two girls in particular have a close relationship.
