NASCAR must have listened (a little bit) to Stewart's commentys last week. The had
camera evidence of debris during the caustions uder 40 laps to go (I missed the race
until then). Certainly was debris on the track.

Sad way to end a race, what a bore. I wonder if NASCAR shoudl red flad races under 10
laps to go when there is a wrecki or drbris so the drivers can race to a finish.

Thoughts?

They should do away with the GWC, (or OverDrive(c)) and go back to having yellow flag
finishes. It is just part of the sport.

Izzat u Marty Reid?
While the 5 lead lap cars were finishing under caution,
Marty (NBS field filler for Doc Punch) sez:
No GWC like some other series.

I agree Carey. But then again, so was points racing from race 1 to
race 36. But, we got what we got, so we can either Tivo it or watch
the higlights package...lol

I would've loved to have had a GWC this past Saturday night
myself...but when the event is only 50 laps....and you don't count
caution laps...then a green with 1 to go is a green with 1 to go. You
chew off as much ground as you can between the S/F line and T1 since
you know you'll be coming back to a Checker/Yellow finish...much like
yesterday's Cup race. (Q'd 3rd - Finished 6th - had the 4th best
car...lol)

Good for you. We were off this weekend, and it looks as though I will be mired in the
Dark Continent too long to make it back home for our next race next weekend.

Carey in Newark (no, this isn't the Dark Continent)

Izzat u Don?

It wouldn't matter. They'd still wreck on the last laps. Remember,
the GWC came about because of not wanting to finish under caution, but
Nascar made the sensible rule about "one chance only." And when you
have a restart with 2 or 3 to go, under GWC, the pack will still
wreck. If they tried more than once, they'd be there another couple
hours.

N.

No they only gave the one chance because TV didn't want to run over
that long. Had nothing to do with how many wrecks it caused. If it
did, they wouldn't do it at all.
