      Congrats ECJ and team! I debated on picking him as my wc but decided on Zach Dohm, forgetting about his last visit to the pond

        Anyway, I don't think they can afford ANY more late arrivals. It may be too late to make up the points already.
        -150 out was still reachable. Had Mansfield been a points night I think it would have only been about -75

            Not sure. I know Marlar said he had 2 flats when he retired.

                  I just don't like the rule. Dock points for being late, but you're essentially taking it out on the fans that paid hard earned money to come support your series. They come to watch ALL the big dogs, no matter if it's Bloomquist, Davenport, Richards, Pierce, etc....putting any of these guys in their hauler is not giving the fans their money's worth. Then on top of that they watch a 25-30 lap main. Just not good business IMO

                    You could see a flat right rear on Davenport's car as well right before the officials called the race.

                    I hated to see them call it. There was just starting to be some movement

                      Nwl bloomer caused the rule with his stupidity, if you wanna race be on time, I don't care who you are! Not on time don't unload.

                          Of curse they cancelled. That is twice in just the past few handful of races they called a race at half way, just as Davenport had trouble. Things that make you go "HMMMMMMMM".......

                              Them canceling had NOTHING to do with JD getting a flat as they rode around under caution lap after lap because of rain... quit being a dumba$$

                                But that still doesn't make it up to the fans. I'm not taking up for him being late or saying he shouldn't be punished. But like I said dock points or fine him. When you make him or any driver load up, you just hurt your product and in the end stuck it to FANS.
