Jaski reportedly said that there was a nimrod that ran out of the infield, across the track and into the woods [maybe the line to the restrooms were too long?] supposedly the police are in pursuit of the fool.

Yeah they said it during the race as well. It was of course during one of many commercial breaks and when Mears wrecked. And just like TNT, they had no shot of it...I'm sure Jayski will give us another update when available...

I think not showing these idoits on tv is the right thing. That's what they want is attention so if you show every one that does it on tv then it'll happen more often like it does in MLB.

a little update.In the midst of the running of the Pennsylvania 500, one of the more than 100,000 fans on hand bolted from the speedway infield, raced across the track in the face of an oncoming field of stock cars, vaulted another barrier and ran into a nearby wooded area. According to an eyewitness, what looked like a man, shirtless with his pants below his knees exposing part of his derriere, "streaked" across the lower end of the Pocono frontstretch as the field was circling the track at 65 mph behind the pace car. One source said Sunday's "streak" was caught by one of the many television cameras on hand for the TNT production. The TV source said the feed was seen by people in production, but did not go over the air for public consumption. Regarding the Pocono incident on Sunday, track spokesman Bob Pleban said someone was apprehended in the woods outside the track's first turn shortly after the incident by Pocono Raceway security. He was turned over to Pocono Regional Police. A woman who identified herself as Barb, but would give no last name, answered the phone at Pocono Regional headquarters. She said she knew nothing of the incident, but that regional police handle cases on the track grounds. "I have no idea," she said. "We do have detectives at the track. You will have to wait until they issue a press release." Pleban said there is a facility and a magistrate on the speedway grounds to handle cases of lawbreaking.(see full story at the Express Times)(7-28-2003)

I'm reading several reports on some other Racing sites that when the person ran out onto the track, that person was showing off part of their doodle.
Whatever it is, this is a great sign for our sport. We see people run naked at Baseball and Basketball games, this is just a signal that NASCAR has truly made it !

Your right Happy it does happen in Baseball and Basketball games. But many people still think of Racin' as a Redneck sport. So to me some guy running across the track with his pants down to his knees isn't the "great sign" that NASCAR has made it.

Another Update.
Pocono Regional Police say [a man, see story for name], 25, from Long Pond, Pa., was arrested on four misdemeanor counts when he sprinted across the racetrack course near Turn 1. #19-Jeremy Mayfield had to swerve to avoid Paolino during a caution period. "Somebody went across down by Turn 1, hopped over the wall and was quickly apprehended," Pocono Raceway spokesman Bob Pleban said. "He's in lockup right now." After reviewing a videotape provided by TNT, which telecast the race nationally, Det. Jeff Bowman said [the man] jogged across the track, then exposed his buttocks before hopping over the outside retaining wall. NASCAR, which sanctioned Sunday's race at Pocono, would not offer comment about the incident. [The man] was charged with disorderly conduct, open lewdness, public drunkenness and simple trespassing. But Bowman said the list of charges could grow and become more serious depending on Mayfield's account of the incident. Pocono Raceway officials plan to review its security operations before hosting its next Winston Cup race during the 2004 season.

Unfortunately, those other guys only have risk getting a couple bruises and gr-ass stains...it's a whole new level of "stupidness" to go running in front of cars...even under caution they're moving pretty fast...
Maybe these guys should 'practice' on the interstates for a while (maybe Darwin can take care of them!) :lol:
