On the podium! But.... embarassed, ashamed, compromized, painful podiums

This is an argentinian race (TC2000), year 2001 where Traverso won the race after a dirty? move against Silva who was leading the race.

Traverso was a little awkard on podium. Silva was angry and Ponce de Leon who finished second didn't know what to do.

I did not have non-F1, let alone bikes podiums in mind but oh well, why not,

A very awkward winner I remember (because from then on I disliked him intensely0 was one occasion when Dale Earnhart Sr. won a race on a shoert track. in the next to last (or even the last?) lap he bumped into the leader ahead of him, Ernie Irvan, if my memory is correct. He lost control, spun off and Earnheart winning the race. The public booing and Earnheart sheepishly stating that he had no intention to put him out of the way but only shake the cage a little....

Checked it at Google and it was most likely Bristol '99 with Terry Labonte.

Yes, the 'rattle-his-cage' finish was Labonte at Bristol. Labonte has been told the story that he (known as a very even-tempered person) was going to reverse into Earnhardt on the cool-down lap as retaliation, but blew out the gear in his transmission when he floored it. Another NASCAR that comes to mind is Montoya on a road course after spinning his Ganassi teammate Scott Pruett in the Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity series.
