Auto Racing - September 2007

This article http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/09/30/kansas.post.race.ap.ap/index.html says " the field was frozen and passing is not allowed under caution". I understand them passing Biffle. But Jimmie Johnson clearly passed Clint Bowyer under caution. He gained speed and was clearly going faster than the rest of the pack. Here is the video http://www.nascar.com/video/cup/2007/09/30/cup.kan.final.nascar/frameset.exclude.html?MostPopular of him making the pass.

Should this be or is this a penalty?

Biffle ran out of fuel and was not able to maintain caution speed.... he was passed & therefore was no longer able to be scored in 1st. SORRY.... just like on any other caution, if a driver pulls off to pit lane & is passed, he loses his spot in line. This isn't the scoring at the TIME caution was called. Biffle was first at the TIME caution came out.... but under the YELLOW, he lost his spot when he could no longer maintain track speed.

If you disagree, then explain what happens then in the middle of the race and Stewart was the leader and they did NOT red flag the race like they did? What if they'd continued to run caution laps & Stewart had run out of fuel & was passed by the other drivers?

Does anyone have any other records to show what NASCAR has done in the past or is this the first time this has EVER happened?

The rules are whatever NASCAR wants whenever they want, with whatever driver they like or dislike... & they make the rules fit whatever NASCAR wants!!!

His interviews saying "Biffle didn't win" are embarrasing.

Apparently, Kenseth is the only driver who got the "Act Like a Champion" memo this decade.

be raced, I don't care if it takes 2 days, if it rains they finish the race the next day, Or make sure all the chase races have lights, or something, This is the championship!!!!!, Today's race at Kansas was really really bogus!! Greg Biffle would have ran out of gas, (he did run out of gas) Jimmie Johnson had the car to beat! (would have probably pased Bowyer) , both Clint Bowyer and Jimmie Johnson are going for the championship. Don't you think Nascar really needs do some changes, because today's race was just ridulous!

If golden boy (JG) had been in 1st after the rain delay they would have called it over after 30 minutes, don't you think?

After 26 races this season, Jeff Gordon had a 675 point lead on Clint Bowyer under "regular season" scoring. With the Chase format, you take a driver that has basically just survived this season and had no shot to catch the leader had this been in the days of Petty or Earnhardt, and you put him within 40 points. Now, since he has a great couple of races, something he was not able to do for 2/3 of the season, and he is within 9 points of the Championship? Would fans from 20 years ago been okay with saying Bowyer was the Championship Driver back in the days of old? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. At least if Stewart, Johnson, or Denny Hamlin won you could argue that they were right there all season long chasing the leader.... but Bowyer? I think I would say this is proof the Chase doesn't work if you are trying to find a system that is fair and really a season of 36 races. Any comments?

What was this clowns excuse for running under Kyle?...Hendricks sure made a bad choice getting rid of Kyle for Jr.

This is to all the Jr. bashers who "think" he wrecked Busch on purpose. The way the COT is designed the front end of the car is so low that it cant be helped when a driver,any driver gets behind another car and runs up under the high COTs tail.
I have tons of tissue if you need it and maybe a good stiff drink for you!!!!!!

The incident between him and Junior early in the race, Kyle claimed he gave Junior a lane at the top, if you watch the replays, you can clearly see that he moved up to block.. and left NO lane as he claims....
Jr. had been running the top groove all race long.....

Alot of the drivers were complaining that the conditions were not suitable for them to race and they wanted to stop it. Well, unfortunately that didn't happen and everyone knows what happened next. Do you feel that they should've stopped the race due to safety concerns with the drivers?

It's very obvious that Fernando was very damaged by that decision, he was definitely trapped in that position(between "4" cars). I actually wonder how is that possible, why didn't Hamilton have to go "first"??? He had a bigger advantage, he was able to make a bigger gap and with that fact why did they decide to sent Fernando to go first through pit stop??? Is this another sabotage by Ron Davis and McLaren's team??
