I had heard about this from a former team tech a couple of months ago. So who was it he allegedly decked or decked him and why?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's cousin heard from this guy who knows this girl that saw Ferris pass out at 31 flavours last night... I mean saw the confrontation where PR person decked Skaife after Skaife 'accidentally' bumped them whle they were carrying a tray of drinks in a crowded bar in Austin.
So I guess it's pretty serious. That's a second-hand account from someone who says they were there. I won't name the PR person or even where they work because while I trust the person that told me, I haven't corroborated it. But if you know the paddock, it won't be hard to work out just who, and which team, Skaife has antipathy towards. |

To get technical because its fun, the alleged other party is said not to be an employee of any team or manufacturer... so any potential antipathy in this regard should likely have been directed elsewhere in order to achieve any effect at all... 1st hand, 2nd hand... Shoulder charged, bumped... Alleged, hypothesised... Gotta job, dont gotta job... Potato, potarto... Presuming any of this actually happened |

And a long term contractor (one who became so by replacing a good friend of M.Skaife) wearing the team uniform v PAYG employee is a very fine distinction. Or maybe because they just don't like each other. |

Of course in 'Austin' instance, refer to 'the friend of my enemy...' |

Given the nonsense that went on with the BJR crewman and later with Mr Dutton, Mr Skaife may have found himself lucky not to have been picked up. Still a strange incident... |

Embarrassing stuff for MS and V8 Supercars, especially when he is representing our sport overseas. Thanks for the work you have put into it, but see you later.

Haha I was thinking the same thing. How unusual for V8SC to try and control what journalists are writing

I know that some enjoy a good V8SC bash and in this case it might just be true but based on that article, blaming V8SC for disouraging journos is nothing more than an assumption. |

The article doesnt confirm that its V8SC no however the next line where it says that Cole Hitchcock originally denied the story is probably a guide.
Additionally, V8SC previous form of penalizing journalists who dont print articles to their approval probably gives weight to the theory as well. |
