    chances are at the next caution that 14th place car then gets the lucky dog.

    bloomer was notorious for stopping on track bringing out the yellow and he used the lucky dog to his advantage.

    Please enlighten us and tell us when and where Bloomquist used this rule. Yes he’s stopped on the track to bring out the caution and go in to change tires and make adjustments but I’d be willing to bet he was on the lead lap when he came in.

    I will say once again, drivers are already penalized by having to start at the tail of the field after bringing a caution out and pitting. I could understand the argument if they intentionally brought the caution out, pitted and then assumed their previous position upon coming back to the track, but that’s not so.

    When 10 guys bring out separate cautions to make adjustments, it is very detrimental to the entertainment value of the race. I'd like to see no courtesy laps for any driver for any reason.

    I'm along with this new rule. Hey Shwalls, you out there? Maybe Towerview can blow in his ear.

The driver is called to move to the end of the longest line of the cars at the end of that caution period. This rule was instituted to prevent drivers from racing back to the start/finish line when a caution was called.Before the rule was installed, drivers would "race back to the caution"; however, there was a gentlemen's agreement not to race, but to slow down and not pass, to allow slower cars to get their laps back. During a September 14, 2003, Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway, Casey Mears came close to contacting the stalled car of Dale Jarrett while racing back to the line during a caution caused by Jarrett's crash. NASCAR chose to abandon the practice and stop racing immediately in the wake of the incident. The rule was created as a way of continuing the practice of yielding to the slower cars without sacrificing safety.If this is the nature of the rule, how does it pertain to dirt track racing?
    I thought it was so Aaron's got more exposure per race since they driver could not drive a not nail into a snowman????
