NASCAR Race Control is the BHOTW leader
 
I’m sorry I stepped away. Did we discuss how tracks should have tarps to cover the racing surface when it Rains. The tarps come out from under the walls. I think I may or may not have been in favor of this


Everyone passed on that one for the obvious reasons.

A baseball tarp that covers the entire infield is 160' x 160'. The Daytona track surface is 13,200' x 40'. When you see the field crew quickly run the tarp out at a baseball game? Daytona would need 30 or more of that operation at the ready to go simultaneously. Tarping an already wet track wouldn't accomplish anything.
 
For Byron you mean? Yea that surprised me too given how inclined NASCAR is to throw cautions for debris

Before stage cautions, NASCAR used to throw cautions when they wanted to bunch up the field, using "debris" as an excuse.

NASCAR isn't and hasn't been interested in throwing debris cautions for actual debris.
 
Cindric has a fast car. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the picture late.
