Hate Father, Hate Son

If you (Tony Kanaan, in 7-Eleven overall) can't beat him (Sam Hornish Jr., in red Marlboro overall), beat up his dad (the white-hair guy in the middle of the skirmish).

Okay, to be fair to Kanaan, he didn't beat up the two Hornish-es. It was Hornish Sr. who came out of nowhere and gave Kanaan a good shove during a heated argument between the two drivers, after the race at Watkins Glen.

So answer me, what kind of guy needs his father to protect him during an argument?
