[quote="RaceFanStan"]Hey Tony, we aren't stupid, some of us like the debris cautions, so shut-up & drive !
If you think the fans don't know what is going on, then you are the stupid one !

Even DW... who also is on NA$CAR's payroll... questions NA$CAR's stealthy debis flags !!!

I liked DW's reaction on that one debris caution that was in turn 3.
"well thats just rubber build-up"
mike joy: "there is something shiny"
"nope just tape"
I hate debris cautions, it ruins a good race every time and you normally notice they always happen right before pit stops.Brian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

anytime you have cars racing side-by-side jockeying to gain position you have intense racing ...
you also have a big bag of possibilities, who will get loose ? who will make contact ?
will they make it back to the line without crashing ? who will gain & who will lose spots ?
Sadly there is no driver out there to make the unknown factor of excitement the restarts create ...
so until a devil-may-care kind of driver appears you will have the "debri flags".2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

They just replayed Tony's radio broadcast on ESPN. The ESPN commentators agreed with Tony... the debis flags are... out of control.
Some NA$CAR Stooge tried to explain it away... saying...
NA$CAR only throws the flag when debis is on the track... and it's...
"Strictly for Safety" !!!
The ESPN guys... almost fell out of their chairs, laughing !!!
Everyone's waiting for NA$CAR's response... Tony's broadcast was aired yesterday, Tuesday night. So far... no official comments from NA$CAR.

Well... both NA$CAR and the FIA in Formula 1 have been known to play the... "safety Card", when-ever it suits their purposes.
Especially when there is no foundation to their position.
Stan, if the debis yellow flag is NOT for safety purposes, then, I guess NA$CAR has to fess up... it's strictly for Television.
Hell... that's what everyone seems to think now, anyway.
The problem now is... that the yellow debis flag is impacting the final results of the race. Thereby reducing it from a sporting event... to... drum roll..
WWF style... Sports Entertainment.
Almost all Finn's since Paavo Nurmi who are fast in their sport have been called "Flying", particularly the 1960's rally drivers, but I was actually thinking of "Flying Finnish" - the timing line at...
