Looks like NASCAR will have to try to defend this again this week after Hamlin expresses his thoughts that NASCAR threw out the late race caution to bunch the field. And..... Michael Waltrips tweets on the subject as well.

"I am a huge fan of a late caution. In basketball they just call it what it is. A TV time out. In football its the break in change of possessions. In baseball its either a walk to the mound or the end of an inning. Its sports. NASCAR needs to have those too."

"If you don't agree you probably don't feel sorry for that pitcher who got robbed of a perfect game because MLB is stuck living in the past."

"The last caution today was well thought out by NASCAR. Everyone had pitted and no one was adversely effected by the caution. The 100,000 plus fans that drove to MIS to be entertained I'm sure appreciated the late race reset."

"Crews had to make the right calls on pit road and drivers had to get up on the wheel to close the deal. What's wrong with that? Thank you for buying a ticket and gas and a hotel and etc.."

"I'd bet that if you were offended by my opinion in addition to not feeling sorry for that pitcher you probably haven't bought a ticket to a race lately. As the kids say these days....'Jus saying'. The world is a changing."

Nothing like taking a dominate car and putting him, the rest of the drivers and teams in a bad spot. Way to go NASCAR
 
next Nascar will institute a competition yellow with 15 laps to go in every race
 
Waltrip is comparing apples to donuts. Those TV timouts in other sports are pretty much built-in. An automatic stoppage in play for any number of reasons, and they can just easily extend the downtime with "tv time out." They don't stop in the middle of a play to call a TV time out.

And how does disagreeing with Mikey have anything to do with the missed perfect game last week? NOTHING!

Mikey, just go away.:mad:
