One thing that is really important to understand is that Amy was the leader. They got together on a restart in a racing incident. Tomy spun and then waited for her to come back around. This clip picks up when Amy caught him again.
Why Trans-Am didn't give Drissi the black flag or move over flag since he was laps down we may never know. Someone in that series failed to tell him that he was laps down. However, what he did was poor sportsmanship. Nothing wrong with blocking, but taking another driver out with you, especially someone fighting for a championship, no excuse for him.
I imagine they did. At the very least, I can promise you he saw a lot of blue flags from corner stations. I used to volunteer with the corner marshal/ F & C group based near there (Lake Erie Communications), and they're on the ball. A very professional group at least when the racing started/ something happened. Otherwise... Well, you don't have to be nuts to be a corner worker, but it most certainly attracts the type. They have fun, but when it hits the fan, they are 110% on the job. I can just imagine some of the radio chat.....
I'm surprised she made it through that whole interview without Cussing out Tommy Drissi. Though I'm sure she wanted to, but you know, it's a TV interview lol
I think the only time I ever rooted for Drissi in anything was when he ran Joe Nemechek's 87 cup car in 2013, and that was entirely because it was Joe Nemechek's 87 car
All we needed was an altercation in the garage, similar to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2012 at Phoenix, and this all would've been perfect. As Boris Said once... Said... "He needs a freakin' whoopin'".
Im pretty sure he was, watched this race live and called for Drissi to have a lifetime ban. Funny thing is. Ruman and Drissi are both running TA this year, and it goes to Mid-Ohio (her home track) where this happened
That is just pathetic.. no driver should race like that. I'm surprised that the league didn't black flag Tomy or tell him to move to avoid something like this.
Drissi's move was just plain unprofessional. However Ruman should've laid back a bit so she wouldn't get involved in a wreck. Though I agree with her statement, even though people will think she was whining like Danica Patrick does every race. Also, why the heck didn't the officials black flag Drissi or tell him to get out of the way?
Danica whines while being mid-pack, Ruman "whines" because a lap down car just took her out pointlessly while leading the championship. Only exception i'll give Danica is when Kahne wrecked her it looked somewhat intentional.
He's an advertising exec, I was at the 2013? TA race at Mid-Ohio, was the inaugural Nationwide race. If I remember correctly he dumped her and Pete Halsmer in that race.
how to make a 56-year-old manchild with skull earrings have a full-blown tantrum: put a woman in a faster car on the track
Amy has every right to be pissed and she handled it a lot more professionally than most people would.

I remember that race. Glad Drissi got the boot after that idiocy. Should have been longer than a year imo
Strait out of the league because of a one year ban
Just because you was driving a rapping biopic-sponsored car doesn't mean you can act a fool as Ludacris wondrously puts it.

No, blocking is alway illegal except one time on the last lap on the charge to the finish line and one block only.
You can't block when you're lapped traffic
" We've lost Tommy Drissi"
Straight out of coffin
I'm surprised she made it through that whole interview without Cussing out Tommy Drissi. Though I'm sure she wanted to, but you know, it's a TV interview lol
Oh you can tell she wanted to cuss up a storm in that interview! But I don't blame her one bit.
She was trying not too you can tell lol.
Amy's a class act and a dang good driver. All things considered, that was pretty calm & controlled.
banned for one full year. good that guy was driving like a pissed of teenager.
Tomy Drissi dressed like people in Compton in his interview lol
Dang Drissi was an idiot... Darn lapped cars!!!!!
Glad Tomy got the ban, also glad it didn't cost Amy the championship.
That was Micheal macdowel commentating?
yea he does commentating on the trans-am races.
James Wormsley oh wow I did not know that thanks.
lol anytime
"We've lost Tomy Drissi."
Jesus, how did i not see this?
Don't know if TV got it but there was also a garage-area ramming after the race which resulted in a totalled Corvette in the garage area.
This is one of the few times I've ever screamed at my television over a race. Ahhhh memories.
So uh... top 5 Tomy Drissi crashes?! :D
Leila R. Wilson Should be top 5 times he acted a tool.
@@ryang1591 nah tools are useful he was scum.
Michael McDowell announced this? Cool
1:54 damn, preach Amy! Were it not for TV, I'm sure an expletive would find its way in
Amy Ruman said this was the third straight year Drissi had tried to take her out-what happened the two years before this? What started this feud?
Straight Outta Compton to Straight Outta The Series xddddddd
I think the only time I ever rooted for Drissi in anything was when he ran Joe Nemechek's 87 cup car in 2013, and that was entirely because it was Joe Nemechek's 87 car
Also of note, Michael McDowell. I think he's picked up a job doing commentating for CBS Sports.
Went to the movies today and saw one of his company's cardboard cutouts of "Trolls".
Chives5150 lol

I'm surprised you didn't post this sooner.
"Straight Outta Compton". This had to have been scripted, this was too perfect.
Did the crash take out Peterson too? If so, he should've been angry with Drissi
Im pretty sure he was, watched this race live and called for Drissi to have a lifetime ban. Funny thing is. Ruman and Drissi are both running TA this year, and it goes to Mid-Ohio (her home track) where this happened
1:36 s/o to my boy Cam Ebben that's his stang and he's competitive this year y'all watch him take the Trans-Am championship
Yeah, no.
@@justinkrizenesky what do you mean
@@joeynascar Cam lol
Amy Ruman cut a wrestling promo in her interview.
I need a diecast version of Tomy Drissi's car.
It's 2023 and Tomy Drissi just crashed Amy Ruman again at NOLA.
Karma strikes Drissi.
That is just pathetic.. no driver should race like that. I'm surprised that the league didn't black flag Tomy or tell him to move to avoid something like this.
thats Michael McDowell doing Color commentary

Well she couldn't have held back. The Cadillac was right behind her, and Drissi could have slowed too. Drissi was doing dumb shit that whole race.
His car actually said "Straight Outta Compton"?! I thought it was just a joke
Great video Amy is pissed
Tony: I was the leader
Sportscasters: He was multiple labs down
Hope he ended up getting penalized because that was ridiculous.
Got a 1 year ban
Straight Outta Ban
I was there for that race
Me too. In the Xfinity race later, when Drissi got spun everyone in the keyhole cheered.
frisco557 I was in the esses and everyone was pissed when he did that
Brandon Hamby Nice
Trans am should of thrown a caution and parked Drissi, then promptly banned him
STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON! COMPTON! COMPTON! COMPTON! :p
This actually pissed me off. Tomy should be thrown in prison
Who is Tomy Drissi?
You may remember his Ice Age car: th-cam.com/video/bduuieE8esk/w-d-xo.htmlm16s
obviously a sexist pig who cant stand being outran by a woman
NascarNixon Thanks for reminding me of that...
He's an advertising exec, I was at the 2013? TA race at Mid-Ohio, was the inaugural Nationwide race. If I remember correctly he dumped her and Pete Halsmer in that race.
She needs to get Madea to kick his butt.
"straight Out Of Compton".... why
Drissi's second job is an advertising executive for the movie industry. He's been sponsored by well over a dozen movies over the years.
Probably Tomy Drissi not wanting Amy Ruman to win the Championship because she a girl.
It's racing lmao
Too many snowflakes in race cars these days. She should of spun him and just moved on.
She would've been penalized
sorry, don't know what lead to this but I support Tomy Drissi side 100%
Why he was a lapped down and was blocking the leader and turned into her when she went to pass him.
No
@@nachoalvarez7171 lol 5 years
@@petervonnson4714 the thing is that he was on the wrong
OK Sexist douchebag. Drissi was doing that intentionally because he hates successful women and got banned for it.
His car actually said "Straight Outta Compton"?! I thought it was just a joke
