I was expecting to read some comments about JPM's speeding penalty. Has anybody heard any comments?
Montoya thought it was BS, and so do I. they said he was going 60.11 mph in the speed trap (max. 60MPH).
Nascar lost him the race so they can have there poster boy win again
The speed limit is supposedly 55 with 5 mph grace. Had NASCAR showed the tapes?Quote:

anyway it was nice to see Harvick get a 6th place finsh i joined his fan club last week maybe i give him some luck :p
they never showed it on tv, not sure other places you wolud find that? :mark:Quote:

maybe its time to go back to manual mode or limiter switches in the car
Well the timing lines at Indianapolis are 150 feet apart. A car traveling 60 miles per hour (88 feet per minute) should cross two lines no less than every 1.7045 seconds. So watch his pit stop with a stop watch and find out his real time for yourself.
Nascar really should release the pit-road timing to the teams in real-time. I can't think of any way that it would hurt the show, and it seems like everybody would prefer it. Hearing controversy about pit-road penalties every 3 weeks gets old.
JPM was walking the dog on the whole field, he deserved that win. It gets old watching JJ win... he is solidly on his way to championship #4.
he said the light on tacomider was green all the way so he was NOT speeding, nascar just ruined his race
It's called "selective enforcement" of the rules. I can guarantee you that many other drivers yesterday hit the speed Juan did on pit road and were not penalized. I don't know why they decided to go after him in this case, but it's a shame when a race comes down to an official deciding to selectively enforce the rules.
Can you imagine if it was Jr. out front leading the Brickyard, dominating the race, comes in under green and loses the race due to a speeding penalty on pit road? Hard to imagine, because that would never happen.
