David Hoots is stupid.
I'll go back to it again, last year at Phoenix, after the big Gordon-Bowyer brawl in the garage, somebody was leaking oil all over the track and NASCAR insists on staying green despite multiple cars piling up on the oil.
And now, they ruin an awesome photo finish by calling a caution 50 yards before the finish line?
David Hoots either needs to be fired or have a very serious talking to.

Am I missing something? I don't get it...
David, who?
And people moaned and groaned when Nascar DIDN'T throw the yellow at Daytona when Harvick and Martin were neck and neck.
They are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

Probably the Nascar official who makes the call as to when they throw the yellow.

David Hoots? NASCAR race director? Is it somebody else now?
Ok, now I know who, but what're you getting at with your post? There are no quotation marks, but am I to presume that this comment came from Mr. Hoots? And if so, why does he need to be fired or talked to?

Huh? All comments were mine. Hoots is an idiot for when he decides to or not throw cautions.

Regan Smith's pass in the tri-oval was the move of the year so far. Good luck topping that.

There were about two dozen cars still running at the start of the GWC. Almost everyone in the wreck was in the Top 10 at the time so there were still about a dozen cars that hadn't cleared the accident yet at the time of the caution. That's why.

Anyone know when the last time this happened? I thought they would mention it on the broadcast but I didn't hear anything.

In My Opinion it was a good call. Too many cars would have had to race through the wreck. Still a great finish.
I can't remember the most recent, but I do know that the race at Atlanta in November one year was shortened about 25 laps because of weather.

It's not that serious
Your attempt at reason and logic is futile with most of these people.

I guess I forgot the meaning of the yellow flag.
Good point.

I always did like the two car tandem. Literally ANYBODY who was in the field could win at a plate track in the two-car tandem days in Sprint Cup, as Trevor Bayne and David Ragan proved. Heck, even Mr. 43rd place himself, Joe Nemechek, was leading late in the July 2011 Daytona race. I like the pack racing too, but I thought the two-car tango offered an extra element of excitement as well.
