Just what happened in that hotel? TNT has suspended play-by-play man Bill Weber for the network's final two races of the season. Weber also was suspended for Sunday's race in New Hampshire. The network declined to specify the reason for the initial suspension last weekend, calling the matter a "private issue." On Sunday the Charlotte Observer reported that Weber got into a "loud, public confrontation" in a Manchester, N.H., hotel on Friday night.

TNT suspended play-by-play announcer Bill Weber for Sunday's race. The Charlotte Observer reported, "According to witnesses, Weber got into a loud, public confrontation over the weekend at his hotel in Manchester, N.H. He was at the track on Friday."

While participating in the ESPN RaceCast chat from New Hampshire Motor Speedway, ESPN reporter Ed Hinton told fans, "Word around the media center is that there was some sort of issue in Bill's hotel lobby last night. Something about adamant complaint about his room." A fan in the chat asked if Weber was crying about his hotel room. Hinton replied, "Uh, i think it was a little more than that.  ADAMANTLY complaining, is what everybody's saying."
