I really wish the Lucas Oil series would...

It’s really become a bad problem with both series.

That crowd on the backstretch did let Richards have it when he come back around after bringing out the yellow, put a smile on my face seeing it.

Can you imaging how much these candy asses would cry out if you actually made that rule that penalized them a couple laps for doing this stupid chit they bitched and moaned enough so they can have straight up starts all night and this would be something dramatic for them to handle being penalized for this. Glad I have pretty much stopped going to any races I have train tracks north and south of my house can see the same thing around here for free and saves time and miles also. While on this rant the cars look like chit with the right front of the noses way up in the air so they do not bottom out and they have the right front tire sticking so far out looks like a monkey phuck setup and the left rear so high in the air is crazy also remember when the cars where like normal looking and you did not need 5 or 6 birdcages on the rear ends and since they turn over so easily now they do not like to drive on man up race tracks they all want them smoother than a babies ass.

I was standing right where Richards came out on to the track, to be honest it was dangerous the way he went about it. There were several photographers standing in 2 where he came flying out on to the track. He got out in just enough to beat the field. He made a a couple of those guys skidaddle, good thing they were paying attention.

Around here one spin and you go to the back... two spins and you're out. If you got "help" going around you'll get your spot back if it's obvious.

Back in the day, if you stopped and did not have a flat tire, then you were done. They need to re-institute that rule or make it that you automatically go a lap down. Either of those would stop the nonsense.

I want to know how did Nick Hoffman get put to the tail for brushing the wall coming off 4 ..he slowed but never stopped. ..Yes they threw a yellow but he did not stop. The way it has worked in the past if you don't stop you don't go to the tail........BUT....
Bobbie Pierce stopped at the bottom of 4 for a official to look his car over during a yellow and he went back to his original spot.....The rule is (and you heard it several times wed. thurs. fri)......if you stop on the track you go to the back...

Start penalizing cars who stop/slow on the track without a flat tire or mechanical problem. Last night at the North/South there were 2 really bad examples of this. The first time was when EPJ had his flat tire while leading. He didn't make it back to the track until the field was taking the green, so he was about a half lap down coming to the green. He then stops on the front stretch to drawn a yellow nullifying a really good start by KRob and Hudson as well I believe (it ended up biting him though because he hit Mars on the next restart and pretty well ended his night.)

The second one was Josh Richards. Same deal, didn't make it out in a timely matter, slows right in front of the leaders to draw a caution. The crowd was not happy. It kills the momentum of the race and any good start someone may have had.

I completely understand needing time for a flat, but when you are just trying to get the field bunched for a restart you should go a lap down or lose 5 points or something. I dont know the perfect answer, but the on purpose, no issue cautions are extremely annoying.

End of rant.

Pearson admitted to stopping on purpose in an interview. Mentioned it like it was nothing. Anyone who stops/slows on track without a flat or mechanical needs to go down a lap, period. That stops all this crap.

[tsand]

and when did the officials become mechanics . they should not be allowed to touch a car. no pulling fenders, stop all that bulls..... of 3 or 4 cars stopping under every caution to have an offical to pull on fenders or nose pieces.

Heckenast did it multiple times during the Summer Nationals.

If they change the rule it won’t change a thing because then it becomes a judgement call for the officials. Lucas will favor the Lucas boys and WOO the same. You will see the same amount of cautions but a different reason. The battery cable was loose, popped out of gear and couldn’t get it back in and so on. If they would go to open tire rule it would stop all the stopping bs. The fact is that in most instances a 20 on the lr just isn’t hard enough for 100 Lap races imo. These guys feel the tire going and just stop. Let them run what they think the conditions call for. Plus, I guarantee the racing would be better because of comers and goers. The days of the suspense with the numbers grinder off or taped over are gone. Open tire rules fixes this problem

[play4kps]

Your right, It gets old watching them stop and get their car worked on, on the track and they get their spot back. Sadly the Lucas oil series is getting to look like a cancer to the sport. And what about the way Scott drove thru the infield pit road under caution. That was one of the most dangerous things I have ever seen. They should have parked him for the night after that. Hes really lucky he didnt kill someone.

I believe the rule is only for when you bring out the caution flag for whatever reason and not when you stop after the caution flag has already came out

[Highside Hustler25]

I really wish the Lucas Oil series would...

enforce mandatory drug testing

[dirt crow]

I miss earl baltes. He didn’t play that game. Anybody remember the World when Wendell Wallace stopped on the track on bottom of frontstretch in front of flagstand? They threw the green and ran 2 laps. Wendell just creeped in. Nothing against Wallace but that was awesome. ....All tracks and series should have every earl rule. He was the standard.
