Okay so I'm going to throw this out there because it's been bugging me here for a few days, I'm not all that bright and I'm sure I missed something, so I invite someone to tell me what it is that I missed.
Sept 6 Thunder Car race, Darryl St. Onge has the race in the bag, gets spun by a car about to go a lap down, gets sent to the back as an involved car...
Sept 13 Ministock race Sunset Speedway points leader Doug Butler is an involved car, does not get sent to the back, and I hear the flagman telling him to take his spot back.
It really seems to me that "rules are not rules" if you're the home track points leader and fan favorite...
Not trying to make problems for people leading the points or anything but it seems the application of "the rules" is spotty at best. I understand what's done is done, but I have a very bad taste in my mouth over this whole deal. Anyone see where I'm coming from here?
Kevin as Spencer stated that Rob was the one who ruled and spencer also commented that usually involved cars are sent to the back. Maybe Rob thought that Doug ended up in the grass AVOIDING stieler. jmo
avoiding or not, it should be the same across the board...Tex has a legitimate argument here. I always said I dont care if the umpires strike zone is 2 inches of 3 feet, as long as it dsnt move, seems like consistency is all that is being asked here.
Ya,I played a lot of baseball back in the day, what's it to yah?

Kevin,
The way I understand the involved car rule is it depends on if any actual contact is made, then you're classed as an involved car. If you spin to avoid a wreck and make no contact, you are not an involved car and you generally get your spot back.
