As long we are using 'tweets' as supporting evidence I am not holding much weight in the argument.

Just to be clear - for Coyne it has happened twice. Its actually happened 3 times since Phoenix for them. Its cost him a lot of money - no one is arguing against that notion.

What the concern is here - that apparently its different crashing cars and spending money at Phoenix and Indy compared to Texas I don't understand this as it creates the same whole in the budget. Write a tub off at Texas and its negligence, stupidity and unnecessary but write one off at Phoenix and its just one of those racing things

Its the same outcome for the teams like DCR and AA.

It appears that there is a separate agenda against Texas which crash damage is being used to push such an agenda
