Was that a NASCAR official that caught yet another runaway tar in JJ's pit?

[michigander]

What's with JJ's crew and the tars?
The NASCAR official had to catch it for 'em that time.

[budman_2001]

Another Drive-Thru?

[don-o]

Is that in the rulebook?

[michigander]

If the other one was that should be too.
It was half way in the other pit stall.

[michigander]

There's an actual rule book???? ;-)

[don-o]

Guess not. Whatever.....

[glock rocks]

Is that in the rulebook?

LOL... since when did that matter? It will be by the end of the race :o}

[don-o]

Sorry - I lost my mind there.

[commish]

HOw in the hell is that not a penalty? If the official does not catch the tire it rolls halfway down pit road!

[NYTexan]

Yep!

[commish]

Possible tire problem on the 24.

[Roccus]

Read in the paper yesterday that it's not available to the public. NASCAR and media only.

[don-o]
