Thank you, I stand duly corrected.

But I don't think it will catch on in NASCAR like in other series. Many times after impact you end up back on the racing surface and exposed to FAR more danger than a broken wrist that might be averted or assaged somewhat depending on the position of your car on the track, so it seems to me it would behove a driver to do what he could to control the car to whatever extent possible.

Re: NASCAR thread

Montoya has a problem with running over stuff during cautions, just ask Michael Schumacher.

Re: NASCAR thread

I think after this race, Indy/F1 car drivers should NOT be allowed to race in the nascar series...

Re: NASCAR thread

Jet dryers should have a fuel cell.
Drivers should NOT remove their helmets until the car is stopped after the race.
Why?
Ask Lee Shepherd.

Re: NASCAR thread

I don't blame Montoya for this. He went into the pits cause his car didn't feel right but his crew said they didn't see anything wrong. They sent him back out and he had a mechanical failure causing this wreck.

The season is still young. Great finishes by Gordon and JJ. Congrats to Matt and Greg on strong finishes, and even Carl finished respectably considering his night.

End time to record race/commercial periods on Sunday: 1:30 PM
Start time to record race/commercial periods on Monday: 7:01 PM
End time to stop recording for red flag for jet fuel fire: 10:07 PM

Ratings
Daytona 500 TV Ratings (lots of info here):
Fox's impromptu primetime coverage of a rain-delayed Daytona 500 rained on everyone else's parade, driving almost every rival down in viewership. What's more, by averaging 14.24 million total viewers and a 4.5 demo rating,
Fox's NASCAR coverage about doubled its typical House/Alcatraz numbers and thus led the network to a rare Monday win on both counts

Re: NASCAR thread

Chad Knauss fined 100k and suspended for 6 races for cheating at Daytona.
He appealing, so he will be allowed to cheat again until a hearing.

LINK
Also, JJ was docked 26 points.
I guess that's 13 points per attempted lap.
