I’ve been to around 50 Sprint Car races over the years. Outlaw/Sprint Cars are ALWAYS hitting the throttle during caution. They let off, coast, then gun it, then coast, then gun it. They all do.
Nothing sinister in this practice. I have no idea what happened last night intention wise though.
Yes, they do, but not near where the caution area is. Too much going on in that area to do so.
