    JD has a great car to drive, gets bite where most others don't.

    Toward the end of the Friday race, why did Josh decide to go low and get behind lap cars? If he stays high, he wins.

          Before the last caution, Josh had a 4-second lead. He was running away with it on the bottom. It wasn't until the very end he realized JD was coming on the top. It's not like NASCAR where you have a spotter in your ear telling the driver every move to make. In our sport, it's all on the driver. And being out front is the hardest place to be, because you can't see what anyone else is doing.

              Driver error. He admitted after the race.

                I would love to see them make that illegal. If you can't have radios or mirrors, why allow you to have guys with big plastic sticks telling you where to run?
                Or at the very least outlaw the aids they use. It would be hard to say a guy can't give you hand signals, too hard to police, but you can stop them from using those big plastic sticks, and sign boards.

                  Under race conditions, half the time people standing by the fence are only a blur.

                      They do, when you see them. If you're only worried about seeing your crew guy, then you are focused on that and you prolly would.
                      It would be surprising to me to hear a driver say that they are watching their crew guy every lap or even every 5 laps.

                        It was a rare tactical error by Richards.

                          The 49 has some Rumley trickery going on in the Rear suspension again.

                              Trickery is good for the sport.
