And how useless are the rest of them in the middle of the pack. 4 caution periods in 15 laps. Ambrose had it in the bag if it wasn't for all the restarts.

Got to say I love Carl Edwards for all the recent races he has been right up at the front with Marcos and such a nice guy .
I love that whole TV presentation .

Carl doing one of his err celebratory back flips...

Is it just me or the NASCAR Race Director very Pace-Car Happy?

One car spins, gets back on track and they have a yellow?

Huh?

Also, why didn't Edwards get pinged for causing that final yellow? Down here, he'd have copped a stop/go for that.

If you look on Jayski they sometimes post about unnecessary Yellows.

Here, Schenken usually waits to see if the car starts moving, if it does, gets back on track, pulls to the side, trundles back to the pits, we have yellow flags out but not a full-course yellow, the car makes it to the pits. It dies and the racing had been going on as per normal.

If a car sneezes over there it seems that truck is out doing laps? Bizarre!

You are right about to quick to send safety car out--they are used to ovals and no time to make decision.
Carl's tap was nothing in Nascar terms!

Ok, that makes sense. Maybe they need a road race director for those rounds? Anyway, thanks for the info.

As a non-regular watcher, it left me rather... perturbed.

X2

As an aussie I'm disappointed with Marcos not winning.

As an NASCAR/RACE fan I'm rapt to see Carl win on a road course.
