    Bogus Cautions

    If you stop on the track to draw a caution then immediately drive to the pits you should be parked or at least put a lap down.

    Half the race tonight was idiots stopping so they could run in and change a tire or check something on the car.

    One guy stayed on the track for 100 laps and finished the race with an almost brand new looking car with the original tires, and he deserved every bit of the money and recognition he won tonight.

        Had it altered the outcome, yes JD should have definitely been penalized. But the two best cars finished 1st and 2nd and it was one hell of a race. 100k on the line everyone out there was going to try everything they can to win. Not saying that it was right.

          I mean that kind of stuff has been going on for a long time now.

            Can't argue with that, a rule definitely needs to be implemented. I personally don't believe teams should be allowed to come in and change tires. Body work? Yes. But until there is a rule about it, we are stuck with it. Luckily tonight JD used up his tires and Erb still got the W.

              Kinda like when Bloomer has a bad night and goes into testing mode. I think there should be a rule about only one trip to the hot pit, after that... park it.

                  So you agree with me, but I'm crying....

                  I see logic is not your bailiwick.

                  And of course Erb won. That was my whole point. He didn't need any tricks to do it.

                  Maybe leave the conversation to the adults next time.

                    Logic? I guess. Really I am just tired of seeing pessimistic complainers after a good race. Every race has its flaw, if you don't know that by now hold ALT + F4 and try again some other time. You just earned so many cool guy points for being an "adult" on a forum. One day I might be lucky to be like you.

                      I was really disappointed with the cautions. Reading the race report on DoD I *think* the only caution for a car stopping on the track was for JD. All of the other cautions were for debris or wrecks. It seemed to me that there were more cautions for guys stopping on the track than just JD, but I could be wrong since I had to rely on the announcers for my info. Regardless of how many times there was a caution for someone stopping on the track, one is one too many.

                        It is out of control and something needs to be done. It's not just the big races it every single night even locally.

                          If the cautions aren't for him, then it shouldn't matter. But if he's intentionally stopping, then going to tweak the car, yes.
                          Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                            I agree, but they are put to the tail, so that kinda is a penalty.

                            Oh, and quit your whining Norm. Yes, I'm jk.

                              Apparently I'm not the only one "whining" about it lol, but like he said one day he might be lucky to be like me. Although I doubt it.

                              I think even the drivers were confused about Landers on that last one. Even Richards said he didn't know what that was about.
