'Bad' pitstops
Of the 'crashing while in them kind'...Fernandez & Mo-Nunn's parking attendants get their hands slapped with a $2.99 fine.

Not unexpected.
Hopefully the teams will show a bit more sense now. |

Yeah, those fines seemed deserved. You just cannot allow these pit incidents to continue. Pit crews trying there best to get there cars an edge, and thats understandable, but it marred what was a very clean race.
I think the IRL and Brian Barnhart deserve some blame here though to. With only 22 cars in the race, they easily could have spread the cars when they come in the pits. I think those pits can hold 43 cars for when NASCAR is in town. So they kind of created the situation themselves. Can the IRL fine itself? |
