Sad to see another quality car bite the mud (no dust yesterday)

I think the 17 car should have been black flagged. A car rolls in front of and he stops then as the red is obviously coming out he floors it through the infield and almost hits a track safety worker.

wow that was a pretty nasty roll there.

Although we want all drivers to stop immediately when a nasty situation occurs....he did what was necessary...

First off, he got out of the way for emergency crews to have enough room to work.

Secondly, he gave himself a clear path for the green...last thing we want to see is his car stuck somewhere that he will have to literally back up to get a clear path.

Typically, we will move cars around to allow them a clear start...but he did not do anything to warrant removing him from the race......from my standpoint...he did move a little far though...

It bothers me more that he went through the infield.

after re-watching, I now see what you are talking about here. I would have to agree, it was a REALLY stupid move and he could have hit that fire fighter there. Obviously he just saw a car roll over, the red flag is going to be out, he was stopped...then took off around the crash.

everyone is always pushing the "slow down and get your car stopped as soon as possible when the red comes out"...here the red is obviously going to fly, weather the driver has seen it or not, and he decides to actually start moving again.

Although I don't think he should have been removed...moving under red should have knocked him down a lap in my opinion. from what I saw in the video, that track worker got lucky.

I think somebody just looked at the video clips. I drove around the dead #5 a whole lot of times. It didn't get towed till after the race.
And Dave types faster than me.

I didn't think it was! I was really racking my brain there trying to remember if it was removed and now I am relieved that I didn't remember because it didn't happen, I am not going crazy!
