My understanding is that these are hard rubber. So I guess its OK if
they just leave these on the track? Maybe somebody hits it and pops it
up? Or punts it? Into the stands how fast? Through the windshield of
a car?

Hard like tire rubber, not like bakelite. Potentially it could get
flung around, but then potentially a cut tire coming apart could
fling chunks of rubber around too. Either way, anything that size
that gets over the fence isn't going to be moving too fast by the
time it gets back down.

And when a tire shreds, it often generates a yellow to clean up the pieces.

And a spring rubber isn't like a piece of tire. Its more like a thick,
medium hard puck.

They are quite hard, and while it may not do tons of damage
I wouldn't want one hitting my windshield at 180...
I think I'd poo my pants...

No matter how much you push the envelope,

TNT has not been showing any "debris," but Fox shows debris every time
there's a debris caution. *I don't know what ABC/ESPN will do.

I suspect TNT was told not to. *Apparently NASCAR got badly bent
out of shape when Kyle was ragging on the fireman at Pocono last
year, and thus TNT is on their "strictly control" list.

Well, that kinda sucks. Fox really managed to show all the debris,
which I thought was so that fans would quit griping about Nascar
calling fake cautions....
