    Tony Stewart is right about NASCAR throwing yellows.


    Last week, during the race, one of the announcers made a comment like, "If we can find the debris, we'll show it to you."

    I thought that was a really odd statement to make, especially on a small track.

    I didn't think about it until I read about the fine and I remembered the caution and the comment..

    Tony's fine was for skipping the post race interviews, not for his comments. His hour long lecture, at 6am Friday and the delay to his team unloading was due to his comments. He's been invited to watch the next Busch race from the Nascar tower so they can "explain" to him how they call a race. A little brainwashing, perhaps? Ironically, I don't notice very many debris cautions called during Busch races....

    But what about the finish today!! So great to see Tony and Bobby as teammates again, even in the Busch series. Reminds me of Tony's early JRG days.

    I have to say that I agree about the cautions. What I find funny though is that I have felt this way for a long time and even funnier is the fact that last season they always seemed to favor Tony for the most part. I know there were several races last season that we watched and we would say "Oh look, Tony is in trouble or Tony is about to go a lap down. Watch them throw a caution for debris". Sure enough that is exactly what would happen. Am I the only one that thinks this has been going on for a long time and not something that has just started this season?

    I agree Robin, it was a problem last year too. It seems like this year though, it has been more late race cautions. At the beginning of the season it seemed like every race was green/white checker and there was either a debris caution late, that then caused an accident on a restart, or the debris caution put them into a green/white checker.

    Just a note to the fans at 'Dega:

    You collectively look like a bunch of idiots when you start throwing things on the track when you don't like who won. Ever think you morons might hit someone? Like another fan in the stands? Or maybe a driver?

    Grow up, idiots.
