    Eldora caution

    Did anyone else notice besides me and my friends that the lap 89 caution at dream was completely set up. Truck came from pits to end of turn 2. Then backed up to wall to make it look like they were picking up debris. Only problem is nobody ever got out of truck. Then truck just sets there for a minute and darts back to pits. Almost cost davenport the race in The end when he had a half track lead at caution. Not a huge fan of jd but anyone that had that kind of advantage deserved to win, was almost taken from him by that bogus caution.

    I commented in another thread on this, but yeah, even the turn 3/4 safety crew guys told us when we asked about it that it was a "BS" caution to make the races better.

    That was definitely a BS call and just made the sport even more like napcar than I was getting.

        I hope this isn't true, it's surely not a reputation Eldora wants to have....but look who runs the place now. I have nothing personal against Tony but if he is trying to create Napcar type drama in the world of DLM , what next? Pitting under green? Tire changes, 400 laps so I can nap and 3 refueling stops? Maybe having Nascar drivers buying up dirt tracks isn't really a good thing.

            Kinda hard to hide someone being light, I'm pretty sure a pass thru wouldn't have sit well

              I watched the broadcast. The camera focused on something white/shiny at the top of turn 2. Then the safety truck appeared into view. The truck stopped where the object was, then they went to a different camera shot.

              I can only assume that was what the caution was for. What the object was, I have no idea. Maybe it was something..... Maybe it was nothing.

                      Since we are going to beat a dead horse, did you all miss the next restart for when Satterlee crashed? That is what fuked Davenport, because he choked on that restart. He had the best car and shoulda won, but that's not always the case. Luckily Bloomer screwed up on weight and JD got the win.

                      And none compares to the going to the tail for a non existent rule last year, if ya wanna talk about favoritism and screw ups.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                          You can't have a window. He should have never started the race that way. He certainly shouldn't have been allowed to fix it during the race.

                              As I told Litey. It was on Eldoras website last year, it wasn't a rule. But enough people complained that they had to do something.
