Oh - and I forgot to mention...

It would be really nice if NASCAR would get some consistency in its rules...

Johnny Benson passes below the yellow in the Daytona truck race on the last lap and the justification we get is "once the white flag waves, anything goes"?!

In case NASCAR forgot...the sole reason FOR the out-of-bounds below the yellow rule is because of the Big E wreck. The 3 car dropping some tires on the apron is part of the reason the car got loose and was the reason for the implimentation of the rule. AND Earnhardt was killed on the last lap. Stupid precedent NASCAR...stupid precedent.

And Michael Waltrip - while everyone else seem to think it was a slap on the wrist at the time - has gotten as close to the death penalty as a driver can get. Las Vegas will be race #3, and he's still 27 points in the hole. NOT guaranteed a spot like he wasn't in California where he missed the race. He'll be racing for his life every single week. Not a good position for the flagship Toyota team to be in.
