there was a rain delay, and instead of cancelling the races, or stopping the cars, the track chose to run the cars around to help facilitate track drying. this went on for 20 minutes to a half hour. i'm not sure exactly why things happen the way they did, but i can tell you one thing, glenn watson should not have lost that race because he ran out of gas helping to dry the track. the whole feild should have been brought in under a competition yellow to refuel.

yes they should have brought them all in and gave them free fuel that the track made then use....they should have calculated it out the amount that they would have used n gave them that much free fuel because it isnt fair to the drivers that they are wasting their money just so they can dry the track when they could have easily cancelled them

i couldn't have said it better myself! that was totally wrong to expect late models to dry the track. but the guys did and there was controversy because of it. i think the next time it rains the guys should all pull off until "they" decide that it is time to go out again. after all it's their equipment and fuel out there.

If it were a competition yellow that would be fine, but it wasn't, and the 22 car came off on his own. That means that he should have gone to the back of the field. It was a poor call from the track officials to leave the cars out there that long, but the fact remains that if you leave the track for any reason, you should go to the back. Is it fair that only the 22 car went off and got his spot back???Did he also make a chassis adjustment??? He could have done anything that he wanted to in the pits, and would still have gotten his spot back. Any of these lend an advantage to him. What about the guys in the dead of summer that have to do caution lap after caution lap due to accidents that eventually have to pull off the track as their car is starting to overheat? It's all the same. The unexpected can happen to anyone at any time. Circumstances that you can't control, things beyond your control and can hurt anyone on the track. It would have been very unfortunate had he lost the race do to the poor call from the track, but even worse that the rest of the field was put in that position. After he got his spot back, had the track allowed all other cars the same option to leave the track and keep their spot that would have been better. All in all, I believe that the track made the wrong call.... just my opinion though!!!! And the drivers get caught up in the middle..... (great for the 22 though!!)

Something similar happen at the last points night at Sunset in the llm division. But it was a driver who spun out, and got his spot back, he caused a caution (a few of them did) and they all got their spots back. Every track can make bad calls, it happens it is apart of racing. Something you think is a bad call, others may thing it was a good call, because it suited their needs or whatever. Fact of the matter is it happens. But just to add in my 2 cents, I think they should have allowed all car to re-fuel.
