What happened with SRA and the clock?

A bunch of trucks decided to try and beat the clock by pitting under green. Somebody ran into the 18, who ran into SRA and they wrecked.

So the Competition Clock did exactly as it was supposed to and our SRA was caught in its aftermath. gently caress the Clock.

Spelunker Glad-handler finished 21st, to save you the trouble of looking it up. The truck that was flipping through the air finished ahead of him. Sad face.

Clock made the race worse for me. Bring back the "debris" caution triggered by rating dips.

I find amazing that NASCAR basically lifted the "Don't talk poorly about us" rule IndyCar added a year ago, though I guess it shouldn't be a surprise seeing as I think it was France who gave them the "unsolicited phone call" suggesting it.

I thought it was going to be one of those massive party tents where everything was inside, yet it looks like a bunch of garage stalls with different categories of merch inside? I haven't seen it in action yet myself.

What the hell is this caution clock poo poo? Did NASCAR finally accept that we've been on to their "debris" caution game for ages and decide they might as well just make it official?

Dunno if you can really blame it for Spencer's wreck, since odds are someone would have managed to crash trying to pit under green in any case, but it's still a dumb gimmick.

Is every stall just Dale Jr. merch? Except the Lowe's sponsored Jimmie Johnson spot on the end.

I probably wouldn't have paid any attention even if I hadn't spent the off-season moving overseas. Hell, I rarely even follow any of the Cup offseason drama.

Those are around, on the infield and elsewhere. This is the big main one on the frontstretch, has different sections for all the popular drivers. Literally a third of it is Junior

I was in one of the discussions when they were first thinking about the caution clock and their rationale was literally "we already throw debris cautions when things get boring but that's shady so let's just codify the poo poo into the rule book"

Consistently inconsistent. Push for 2 seconds on lap 30, penalty. Push for 30 seconds on the last lap, who cares!

How Brian France looks in my mind's eye every time I hear him talk:

https://twitter.com/nascardaytona/status/701438116024942592

e- Apparently, Danica's been shafted hard by GoDaddy, who hasn't followed through on the "personal services contract" she was promised:

quote:

"I think it was like a half-rear end break-up," Patrick said. "It's disappointing. … They called and said they are not going to sponsor the car anymore but they want to stay with me and they want to keep going and there is a lot of value in that relationship. But there is no personal deal [signed yet] so I'm beginning to think that they were just lying about that too, and they just wanted to soften the blow and that they really don't want to do a personal deal. That's what it seems like.

"It's a little frustrating. It's a little disappointing. I guess it would be easier for me to understand if they were just moving on then it would be to accept they strung me along and then strung me along on a personal side sponsorship, too."
