I know we're just a tad bit tardy with this subject but we've been out of the 4m loop since the Daytona 500. This subject is, for the most part a dead horse, but a few wrinkles that have surfaced in the past only to rear it's ugly head yet again.
The amount of money pissed away and the heightened possibility of injury and death due to NASCAR's silly and highly unsafe gimmick of extending races past the advertised distance is astounding. We all know the reason for the GWC policy being enacted was to appease a crowd full of intoxicated hillbillies who threw unopened cans of beer at the 24 car and onto the racetrack in reaction to Jeff Gordon beating Earnhardt Jr. at Talledaga due to a race finishing under yellow.
The GWC policy should be done away with immediately given the wrecks that ensued in the Busch Clash and the horrible wreck that was precipitated by the GWC policy in the 500 at Daytona. Throw the yellow, let the race end at it's advertised distance and let the chips fall where they may instead of putting the lives of both drivers and spectators in grave danger, all because of a bunch of drunken hillbillies might not be happy with the outcome!! NASCAR, and racing in general, got lucky yet again with Mr. Newman receiving non-life threatening injuries. Next time might not be so lucky, especially if a car ends up in a position where spectators are put in grave danger or killed due to something as stupid as the demand for races to end like a bunch of drunken hillbillies want them to!!
Who else believes this stupid policy that exponentially increases the possibility of injury and/or death should stop before racing takes another step towards total extinction. If one of the democrat candidates for president is somehow elected (and don't kid yourself into thinking that can't happen) it is a cinch a total ban would be on the table in reaction to an avoidable death of a driver/drivers or multiple deaths or serious injuries to spectators!!
