Why is it that in the late model feature the 09 of stine drove right into the side of the 53 of Farrell taking them both out of the race and they BOTH get their spots back ? One of two things should have happened .... Both go to the rear for coming to a complete stop on the track....track rules.....or Farrell gets his spot back and stine goes to the rear for rough driving. It's bullshit calls like this that effect your car count and nothing more..... Well that and the low payout. Rules are in place just for situations like this and need to be followed.

To the 09 .... You are plenty fast to pass cleanly and shouldn't be using the tactics you are using. That shot was hard enough to be heard in the stands. You should have been thrown out , not given your spot back.

This effects pay through out the field and points.

lol, thats the way it always is, the rule states if anyone stops on the track, they go to the back. They forgot to put, you go to the back unless you are our favorite and then you get the free pass.. :rolleyes:

I think the yellow was coming out because of a car spining on other end of track. Not sure on that but the 09 was really over his head. I knew he was going to side slam him 100ft before he hit him. He is super fast but old adage of 8 wheels handling better than 4 applies.

They always use the old stand by excuse of something happening on the other end of the track. It only depends on the car number as to how the rules apply. If one person can't watch the whole field and make the correct calls then get new or more eyes on the field. These are bullshit calls.
So what your really saying is that if you see the caution it's time to rail your competitor hard in hopes that he breaks and can't continue....knowing you'll get YOUR spot back ? ! LOL
Anyone who was watching that race and watching the leaders .....most people do..... Could clearly see what happened and what was going to happen.

Karma can be an evil mistress !

Snooky!!  YOU are right. The 10 spun and was coming around the track in turn one the wrong way. How far he was going to come and which way he was going to turn I had no idea. That is why the yellow came out !!!  Plymouth-man here is a rule you forgot. { If a caution occurs and a subsequent incident takes place AFTER the flagman --that's me-- displays the yellow, competitors involved in the separate incident are NOT penalized . )    What if the 53 saw the yellow light and let off the gas and the 09 didn't see it??

There is still the issue of rough driving by the 09 even if.....and that's a big if.... There were another reason for the yellow. If it was after the yellow then my fist statement stands to be true...... Rail the car ahead of you as hard as you can under caution and get away with it . Most tracks don't tolerate idiotic behavior under green or caution, I've seen many cars black flagged under caution for pulling idiot moves. Intentional slamming should be an automatic black flag.
PS.....the black flag is the solid darkest colored one in the line of flags there racecar.......learn how to use it.
