It's funny, but there are quite a few drivers who have been suspended indefinitely and then returned. Maybe not immediately, but eventually. Remember the big fight that the Membrino triplets were in? They returned. And if memory serves me correctly, Jones has been suspended before from Stafford, as well as announced he was "Never comin back". Mike Quintiliano also sat out for quite a few races, and after submitting a press release that literally bastardized  SMS and the Arute family, he returned only to be crowned track champion. Bruised egos heal, drivers apologize. But honestly, what will be the most memorable moment of the SMS 2004 season? I don't think it will be any of the nice "clean racing we have enjoyed throughout the season, but more like the actions of a frustrated driver, who did what many other guys on the track only wish they had the courage to do! But Chris Jones, (New Milford's answer to AJ Foyt throwing a $2000 dollar laptop around in victory lane) had that "hootzpah", and gave the fans what they go to the races for. And to do it to Ted, even better! Call it what ever you want, the stuff fills the seats, and gives ESPN clips for those "winter filler" shows. Hey, This is "The Real World", just "vote him off the island", "evict him from the house", "Don't hate the player, hate the Game!", "Your'e Fired", "Will you accept this rose?"  Better than any reality TV show, ever.

Memory from one of those ESPN shows: (Teddy fallin' off the wall at Watkins Glen!!! How funny was that!!)
