If every team wanted to sit there and watch that monitor with the loops in the pits, they could. NASCAR isn't going to hide this stuff. The 5 mph leeway isn't silly, it is giving the drivers a fudge factor for getting their speed off the tach. THey have a 350ci limit in engines and give the engine builders a free 7.99 cubic inches. Just ask Carl Long what happens when you go past it.

The rules are the rules and NASCAR in the last decade has been very diligent about taking out gray areas on how they enforce penalties. They may in their less recent past made some decisions that were NOT fair on the surface but as of the last few years, have changed their practices and procedures AND rules and enforced them without malice and without prejudice. If you have PROOF (not just your opinion) either state it, or give it up.
You are the first person to say there is a publicly viewable monitor posting
all loop times in the pits. If this is the case then I am satisfied. I was of the opinion that the teams only get data when they exceed the speed.
If the data is there, I wonder why teams don't give drivers feedback from this monitor? Montoya exceeded 59mph on a previous stop.

In summary, my contention was that NASCAR only provided data to those who speed. No speed data for other drivers is provided. Therefore NASCAR could overlook some drivers speeding and the data would never be seen.
If there is a public monitor with all loop speeds posted, then this could not happen. Does anybody else know if this monitor is present?

If we had to have proof and not opinions to post, this would be a lonely forum.
