Demolition derby at RIR

The Richmond track (my hometown) has seen some crazy things.

Like, last year, when Jeremy Mayfield needed to win to make the Chase. Sure as the sun rises in the east, Mayfield won.

What happened there today beat that:

RICHMOND, Va. - A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far as to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.

Note to Mike Helton: Please never do this. Enough people come to your races already.
