What Erb Jr's penalty cost him

[bullring]

Are drivers babies? Do they have to be held by the hand?

Some drivers are babies. But was referring to an official keeping an eye on the winning car so nobody touches it.

Guys get caught with illegal car and get moved from inside to outside of front row. Guy doesn't get caught cheating and gets put to rear of entire feature field. Makes sense.

Imagine thinking as an adult that you need your hand held to do basic tasks.

Just a suggestion.

Ok, so what did Erb and his fellow competitors say ? I find it hard to believe Dennis didn't realize he had to go to the scales. But, I wasn't there. Rules are made to be pushed to the limit and for the person reading those rules to be looking at what the rule doesn't cover.

Dennis did go to the scales. Driver comments were in a DoD article.

He did go to the scales. He went to where tech was monday night (when he was on the podium) They waved him by, he went across the scales and went to the frontstretch for victory lane ceremonies. They moved tech for tuesday & wednesday to a different area than they used monday and Dennis did not know. He looked for tech after pictures and did not see anyone teching cars, he even drove to the WOO trailer looking for someone and found nobody. What all the drivers and crew said anonymously in the article was basically that it was odd that the officials let him even drive to his hauler without stopping him and pointing him in the right direction.
Yes, he should have known where tech was, but this is a mistake that the sanctioning body doesn't usually let the drivers make, there is usually an official with the car the whole time until it goes through tech.

If it was literally anybody else in the pits who made the same mistake, this board’s attitude would be 100% different.

[Rocket]

Correct me if I'm wrong but 2nd and 3rd place cars didn't have an issue finding tech. It's too bad for Dennis. Hope he has some consistent good runs to overcome it.

Sure would be cool to know who those folks where that made the comments but of course we will never know who said what. If that many folks chimed in you know there are probably quit a few others who felt the same way but just kept it to them selves or told very few people how they felt.

If they weren’t left anonymous they would be black balled by wrg for the rest of their careers.

There should be eyes on any car that needs to be teched the entire time from when checkered waves to when they are teched.

[HIGH ROLLER]

It should have been woo to get to top 3 and make sure they went to tech. Its there show and they should of had 3 officials on this. This is more on woo than it is erb jr.

When did this happen?

[nc mudcat]

This is on the driver, not the officials, IF they gave direction in the driver's meeting.

[mcarter815]

If this was his weekly track, I could see pinning it on him, but it's not.

There are 2 sides to every story and usually the answer is some where in the middle. Unless you where there and know what the entire issue was first hand it's all here say. The issue from what I have seen on various outlets was with tire tech.
