NASCAR & carrying that smartphone in the car

Why do so many people think 'noone' is a word?

What about AFTERNOONE?

You want to go there?

No offense. I've just seen dozens of people type 'no one' as 'noone'.

I was visiting the app store for my phone yesterday and did a quick search on MPH apps. There are pages after pages of apps that allow you to monitor your MPH. What would there be to stop someone from using one of these apps for pit road use? I tried one yesterday on my what home and found it to be pretty accurate.

There are a bunch of smart people out there. I wonder how hard it would be to create some sort of app that could allow a driver to control some of the programming that is involved with EFI? Just a thought. I wonder if NASCAR could be opening themselves up to something like this down the road by allowing phones in the cars?

Well this explains why Montoya ran into the jet dryer he was looking for his app and texting.

I think that he was having his iPhone Siri look up the closest barbeque joint in Phoenix and Siri took it a little to literally.

I thought he had it on his GPS and it miscalculated and said RIGHT TURN instead of LEFT????

At first , I saw no reason for Nascar to even get involved in this issue . Reading this , I see where the phone could fall under the' no computors in cars' rule . For that reason and the potential for escalation, I have no alternative but to recommend their dismissal .
