how is it that half the cars have crap hangin off them from the wreck and they get to pit and work on their cars and drive around and come back in and do some more work with crap hangin off, but nascar makes steve sit there for 2 laps becuase his spoiler was loose??...it wasn't fallin off like others had stuff fallin off or hangin there....can some one explain this?.....I think he was ripped here...

b/c if that spoiler comes off, not only is that car dangerous on the track, that's a huge hunk of metal someone could run over.

It's kinda like when Gordo gets to go below the yellow line with no penalty. but when Park does it he gets black flagged.

Gordon is a 4-time champion. Park is not. You get special privilages being a champion.

Or it's because Nascar forgot for a second that Park was a DEI car.Once it dawns on them,he may be given 4 laps back! :lol:

well if i spoiler is loose that means that the spoiler will lay back and give him an advantage, thats why i think they made him fix it

well, the top half of the 8 wore off and those decals weigh so much that it made a huge difference

The race was under caution, it would not have given him an advantage then. There was also a good point of other pieces hanging off and cars continuing to stay ahead of the pace car.

In my opinion, he should have been able to stay ahead of the pace car and come in and out of the pits until it was fixed, unless the race went green.

When this happened during the race, I was wondering why they forced him to fix it before he left.
