      Maybe he took a dump before his heat.

        I’d be upset too if I was him. They were out on the track for the 5th heat then the rain came. For some reason they put the 6th heat out next and then the 5th heat went out after that. Those 2 pounds that he was light were from fuel burnt off while they were waiting to get back on the track for his heat. Some common sense should have been applied here. I know almost everyone else that weighed in this weekend were good, but he definitely got the raw end of the deal tonight.

          The problem was we all crashed the red flag came out only the cars able to continue should of raced not allow another heat to run then allow our heat back out. We were the current heat it was pure cluster mess because then cars that had pulled off before the previous caution were allowed to come out never seen that in all the years I have raced ..several drivers even changed tires that were not marked for competition should have all been DQ

            They ran heat 5 after heat 6 to give the drivers in heat 5 a chance to fix their cars after the rain caused the big wreck in 1 and 2 ..which was nice...

              Really? Wow! That's messed up! Sounds like Donald duck is running the show at Eldora these days. Doubt Earle would have ever done something like that.

                  So he left his car running the whole time? Highly unlikely. Why he continues to play the weight game is beyond me. Even the others driving his cars were way heavier.

                    What are Eldora rules for pitting under red? Bloomquist did that too.

                      I looked up the rules. If you pit under red, you restart on the tail. He got away with a rule infraction before scaling light!

                        They were aloud too. They made an announcement about it

                          That's why he was the only one? Eventually, later, they let them come in.

                            He didn't go in until the flag man signaled for them to go in

                              They all got to fix their car. They all got there spot back. No big deal. The track made the right call!

                                I guess everyone else was asleep at the wheel for 10 minutes. Thanks for clearing it up. He wasted his time doing donuts so the crew could determine he needed to come in.
