This Weekends Nasacar Disaster...

Every 10 laps they had to trow a caution just so they could change tires, it made a mockery of what should have been of the best races of the year. I think it's time to admit maybe they wern't ready to run this new car....

That was horrible, and in my opinion there was no excuse for it. It's not like they just found out about the race on Friday, they have had plenty of time to test and tweak. Bet them Firestone guys at at the NASCAR offices this morning talking about how good their rubber is hehehe.

I don't think they could have done that, they would be held liable if anyone died. They are lucky that noone got hurt even with the cautions. They were hitting 210ish going into the corners...

Then in my opinion they shouldn't have raced at all. It is highly probable that this changed the outcome of the race, which may have very well affected the outcome of the season. I say either run em or don't but don't toy with it.

If anyone was wondering I :argh:closed my eyes and clicked on... anything.. Then, I opened my eyes and discovered I landed on "New Car." I was trying to see if my blind aim was good.. :dontknow: Turns out, it sucks.

Never really thoughtof it like that, but after reading Nascar.com's interview with #19 E. Sadler, I will have to agree. He said he ran 1/2 speed all race and then with 30 to go started 2 tire stops, and ended up with a top 5...

Anyone remember the Goodyear BS in NHRA when the changed tire compound?
