BTW did you guys discuss the Lucky Dog rule suddenly being reinstated at Sonoma without warning!!
This is what I found on Jayski...
CHANGES? to my surprise....the Lucky Dog / Lap Back rule was used at the road course at Infineon Raceway. In 2004, the rule was NOT used at the road course, however, I guess that changed and was not announced [for some reason]. No where did I see this mentioned before hand that is was changing, even Fox said there would be none, then started reporting it. Was told by some of the TV/Radio broadcasters, they were not told, it just 'happened'. I have the 'official' list and it is now posted.(6-27-2005)
Who got a lap back on each caution at Infineon Raceway: The Lucky Dog Pack: (and their finish)
this is unofficial and what I jotted down during the race
Caution 8: no lucky dog when 10 laps or less are left
Caution 7: #49-Schrader, 35th
Caution 6: #7-Gordon, 16th
Caution 5: #24-Gordon, 33rd
Caution 4: none, no idea why
Caution 3: none, #7-Gordon was supposed to be, but he pitted with lap leaders and lost it
Caution 2: #8-Earnhardt Jr., still 14 laps down, 42nd
Caution 1: #25-Vickers, 34th.(6-26-2005)
Unannounced, non-debateable, clueless at times, just plain stupid at others.
Yep; we discussed it. Schrader was supposed to get it caution #4.
