Any idea what they did?
ReplyDeleteWHY ?
ReplyDeleteIt'd be nice to know why....
ReplyDeleteanyone any idea what this was all about?
ReplyDelete"Hey y'all can't push that car down pit road yet. They ain't got the radar set up yet to see if you speeding" said the rent-a-cop.
ReplyDeleteIs that Hollywood Armstrong?
ReplyDeleteBehavioral Penalties
ReplyDeleteReally NASCAR? You hammered Kurt Busch for NOTHING except perceived infractions and now you want to play god with every member of the teams? I'd be back fixin' cars at a gas station in a penalized minute.
What did they do ? Is this another case of invisible debris ?
ReplyDeleteApparently, they blew past a gate guard, refusing to show their hard cards.
ReplyDeleteI watched today's race and my observation is that adding ALL of these ridiculous penalties for minute infractions (that tire rolled one inch over the line) is just taking away from the racing. It is getting to the point that I may stop watching. Jeff Gordon sped in a 50 foot section of the pit road and LOST his chance to win. THAT is arbitrary interference by NASCAR. I don't even like Jeff either. Let them race stop interfering with the racing or the fans will walk away.
ReplyDeleteHow would YOU enforce pit road speed limits then, "Anonymous?" Should we only count the 50-foot sections that your favorite driver DOESN'T speed in? If Jeff and his team can accept the accuracy of the penalty, maybe you can too!
