FROM THE WINCHESTER WEBSITE: During the red flag stoppage Andy Anderson exited his Jack Bland owned no.41 and appeared to make some type of repair on his racer. Officials stepped in and told Anderson he would be sent to the rear of the field for the rule infraction. Not happy with the call, Anderson showed his displeasure, before finally taking his car to the pit area.

Who did he think he was, Sterling Marlin??? lol

He had brake fluid dripping onto his feet and only checked to see if the lid was on the master cylinders.. Of course they would write it up as if he changed gears.. 2 tires and moved the j-bar on the frame mount.. Long story short he was killing them and since he doesn't race there weekly they didn't like it.. I heard from a good source he called over to an official to come look and was ignored..So he got out and looked for himself.. But that's just hear-say of course..

Last I knew you couldn't get out of your car and get back in and join the race.

You can get of the car and rejoin the field... You just can't get back IN your car....

He should have gone Ricky Bobby on them and sprint to the finish line.
