A lot of this bullshit is why I've lost some interest in NASCAR in the last few years. Partly because Jr. hasn't had much success, but mainly because of all these stupid rules changes, stupid fines and suspensions, and whiny-ass bitch drivers who need to let their driving speak for themselves or duke it out on the track like Donny Allison and Cale Yarborough in 1979 in the infield. It used to be that "rubbin' was racin'". That most certainly doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Outside of a few drivers (Mark Martin for sure not whiny) all the drivers bitch about how someone was being stupid and not careful and that led to them being punted into the wall, etc. and ultimately out of the race. How about just chalking it up to a driver racing competitively? Granted there are some instances where the driver doing the damage was being just plain stupid, but it's still because the driver was trying to take a chance to make something positive happen for himself and his team. Some of these guys need to learn how to be the hammer and not the nail. This sport is all about being competitive and doing what you need to do to come out on top. Sometimes trying to come out on top means you come out on the bottom, because the chance you took yielded the wrong results.
The lucky dog should be done away with.

Take Pocono, 2.5 mile track; If you are down 1 lap and fixin' to go down 2 laps and the caution comes out, If you are the first car 1 lap down- you get almost 5 miles back.

then you pit mostly by yourself after the lead lap cars pit. You can fix your car if there's something wrong. You can fill up with gas and be better than the other lead lap cars in that way. Hell, if its late in the race you can refill several times druing a long caution and maybe some of the folks in front of you can't make it to the end on fuel.
