“NASCAR membership is a privilege. With that privilege comes certain benefits, responsibilities and obligations. Correct and proper conduct, both on and off the race track, is part of a Member’s responsibilities. A Member’s actions can reflect upon the sport as a whole and on other NASCAR Members. Ideally, NASCAR Members are role models for the many fans who follow this sport, regardless of the type of license a Member may hold, or the specific Series in which a Member may participate. Therefore, NASCAR views a Member’s conduct, both on and off the race track, which might constitute a behavioral rules violations under this Rule Book with great importance.”

a Member action(s) that could result in a mild response such as a meeting, warning, probation:
-- Heat-of-the-moment actions or reactions, either on or off the race track;
-- Member-to-Member confrontation(s) without physical violence (e.g. shoving match, shouting match, or general “venting”).

.b Member actions that could result in a $10,000-$50,000 fine and/or probation:
-- Disparaging the sport and/or NASCAR’s leadership;
-- Verbal abuse of a NASCAR Official, media members, fans, etc.;
-- Intentionally damaging another vehicle under yellow or red flag conditions or on pit road with no one around.

.c Member actions that could result in a loss of 25-50 Championship driver and Team Owner points and/or $50,000-$100,000 fine and/or one Race suspension, indefinite suspension, or termination:
-- Physical confrontation with a NASCAR Official, media members, fans, etc.;
-- Member-to-Member confrontation(s) with physical violence and other violent manifestations such as significant threat(s) and/or abuse and/or endangerment;
-- Attempting to manipulate the outcome of the Race or championship;
-- Intentionally wrecking another vehicle, whether or not that vehicle is removed from Competition as a result.

.d Member actions that could result in a loss of 50-100 Championship driver and Team Owner points and/or $150,000-$200,000 fine and/or two Race suspension, indefinite suspension, or termination:
-- Targeting another driver who is in a highly vulnerable position, such as already stopped with window net lowered; or whose vehicle has already had one or more of its safety systems affected by crash damage, such as an exposed fuel cell, damaged roll cage, and so on.
-- Premeditatedly removing another Competitor from championship contention in a dangerous manner when not racing for position based on the available evidence and specific circumstances of the incident.
-- Without limiting the scope, examples could include a Competitor “waiting” for another Competitor and then taking action; taking a trajectory with the vehicle not normally taken such as from pit exit directly up into a vehicle in the racing groove; clearly forcing another Competitor into the wall in an abrupt and unambiguous manner; and so on.

.e Member actions that could result in a fine and/or indefinite suspension or termination:
-- Public statement and/or communication that criticizes, ridicules, or otherwise disparages another person based upon that person’s race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, age, or handicapping condition.
-- Being charged with or convicted of significant criminal violations (e.g. Domestic Violence, Trafficking, Assault), or having had determinations rendered by criminal or civil authorities that in NASCAR’s judgment necessitate action. NASCAR will not pre-judge guilt or innocence in the criminal or civil legal system, or the guilt or innocence of the Member, but rather review each matter in its own context and circumstances and with regards to its potential effects upon the sport.

.f Factors that NASCAR may consider when reviewing a matter might include:
-- When and where the incident(s) occurred;
-- The perceivable or potential ramifications to others and/or to the sport;
-- Available empirical data;
-- Member’s past history;
-- Possible effects to fans, safety workers, crew members;
-- Any extenuating circumstances;
-- Was the explanation(s) plausible given the circumstances;
-- Was there an indication of genuine remorse or attempts to work things out with the other party(s) in a civil manner; and so on.

I can't believe that loving happened. What the gently caress is this caution clock bullshit anyway?

On the bright side some amazing saves going on.

Is SRA still on the track? If so he might be able to get a decent finish out of this, holy poo poo.

just read it. countdown until it's implemented in cup!

I think the caution clock is ridiculously stupid but I don't think it will create the problems that it did tonight at other tracks. I wonder if they will think about suspending the use of the clock on plate tracks? It really doesn't make much sense. There is constant action in a tight pack, no real reason for a "debris" caution to spice things up and catch up the field.

leica posted:

Yeah if anything forget that rule at Daytona and Talladega, it's redundant and why they couldn't figure that out is beyond me but you know, nascar.

I wonder if SRA can even make a race of this, his truck doesn't seem to look that bad, but I haven't had a real good look at it yet. It may be screwed aerodynamically.
