Cup race at Charlotte

Maybe Bruton should axe this race instead of the fall race. This is the 2nd straight year that the Indy 500 has blown it out of the water (so far).

This makes no sense. Since when are you given time to work on your car? I get that it was an outside source but......

Exactly, this is a bad decision. Now when the #48/#18/#14/(insert your most hated driver here) blows an engine because there was a hot dog wrapper over the radiator, they'll be petitioning saying that it was an outside source and they should of had 15 minutes.
 
I just saw Andy letting the air out of Danica's tires ...What's up with that?

LOL. Fans will be at the track eating hot dogs regardless. That overhead camera doesn't even have to be there. And it affected a few cars, not just one.
 
Clint Bowyer having a good old time. Thinks they took a mid-race snack break.

Good, I like NASCAR's decision to let them work on the cars. A freak thing happened that could potentially alter the outcome of the race, and it didn't occur as a result of competition.

Fine then next time a hot dog wrapper gets caught on someone's grill I want Nascar to stop the race and let the drivers clean their grills without losing position.

Fans don't have to throw their hot dog wrappers on the ground, but some how paper crap ends up on the track every week.

Hot dog wrappers are the worst...they should be outlawed...I've eaten many a hotdog without a wrapper.
 
Probably be a good time to cheat aero wise since they dont have to go through a template.

How many hot dog wrappers have you seen that ripped the sides of cars off and broke brake lines? I think this may be just a little more serious.

Exactly man, you beat me to it.

It's one thing for a hot dog wrapper to end up on one car's grill. They have time to get it off before it damages the engine (and with all the teammates and cooperation these days, they usually do). It's quite another for a camera cable to fall to the track and immediately damage more than one car.
 
It's hard to believe they were using a nylon climber's rope for a piece of equipment suspended over the track, especially if they used the same rope at every track for that catenary. I've worked as a stagehand for national touring shows, and the requirements for hanging, or 'flown', equipment, are a lot more strict than what is going on here.

That said, NASCAR should have a contingency plan for unforeseen circumstances that could happen, like a crazed fan getting onto the track or something like this, so they don't look like they have their thumb up their keister. Letting teams work on cars that suffered damage as a result of the network's negligence is the minimum, but they can't undo what happened.
 
They're actually making Ambrose drive laps around the track to get his laps back after they're already thrown the rest of the rule book out? This is the most stupid bull**** I have ever seen in the history of NASCAR.

If they make edible underwear then they should be able to make edible hot dog wrappers. Heck, they would probably be better for us then the hot dogs.:D
 
How long can it take to get a cable off the track...are they waiting for electricians..is it still charged?

They make edible underwear? You wouldn't want to chow down on mine ;)....even with gravy.
 
Anybody remember when some guy stole the pace car many many years back? It might have been a busch race I cant rmember. Funny as hell.

Spare me, they've thrown out any notion of this being an organized traditional closed circuit race. If they're going to "reset the field", they might as well make up the field how ever they want and not waste everybody's time by making Ambrose drive laps by himself.

Name me one other race in which the whole field was red flagged except for one car.
