Can either one of you find a link that explains the in-car camera policy? I did some Googling and this (below) is the only thing I could come up with, so obviously Nascar does have some say-so. Ok - fair question. I can't. I haven't looked. I have heard it spoken of by the booth guys on race day though. As to NASCAR's say-so, I really don't know what to make of what's said in the text you provided. It may be that once a car is equipped with the gear, or is scheduled to be, that NASCAR has a voice in changing that due to changes in car weight. If I remember correctly - and I often do not... it seems to me that I recall hearing on a broadcast that the in car camera gear is pretty hefty. Something that would be considered in order to maintain the minimum weight standards. |
views that they tout on Nascar.com, I'd guess (guess, mind you) that
Nascar's involvement has to do with the number of in-car cameras in any
race, rather than anything else. And if more than 7 or 9 teams or
whatever want in-car cameras, then it's probably Nascar who decides who
has them and who doesn't. But I still recall that the teams have to
pay to have them in the cars. Maybe that was misspoken by the booth
boys, I don't know.

That is a very interesting comment from a CC that has been caught "bending" the rules *several* times in the past. the helicopters are following you... Why would CK make a comment like that unless there was something that he didn't want the TV camera to see? Oye! Been watching long? How many times have you heard of drivers getting the call to the trailer for flipping another driver off and it was caught on camera? Geezus dude - you have one serious complex. I swear, you see more crap hiding in shadows and whine about more things here than any 10 people. Give me a fucking break. 99% of the time the flipping off is caught by a camera OUTSIDE of the car. Been watching long? If you don't think that there is a possibility that the biggest cheater in Nascar, CK, is doing something illegal inside of that race car, than you are a fool. Ever heard of Traction Control? Why do you think Nascar mandated that the ignition boxes, coils, and all the associated wires be mounted on top of the dash in plain sight? If JJ was doing something illegal inside the car, why in the hell would they have allowed a camera in the car in the first place?? I "think" Nascar has something to do with what cars have cameras in them. |
turned the in car camera away there were statements posted on Joe Gibbs
racing that they would no longer allow cameras in Gibbs cars because they
did not think that it was necessary to have the emotions of the drivers on
display in the heat of the moment (no, that is not a quote but I remeber
that was the way it came across to me when I read it). But I noticed that
for a few weeks now Denny Hamlin has been on race day scanner and Tony has
had teh camera back in his car as well. Maybe there was some sort of
penalty involved for Tonay after Daytona or maybe NASCAR does have some say
so but after seeing that statement on Gibbs I don't think that they are
mandated by NASCAR.
