Been saying this for years. It's so obvious when NASCAR throws a yellow flag in order to get a few TV commercials in, or to tighten up the field to artificially create an "exciting ending". Surprisingly, many people refused to admit NASCAR was intentionally throwing caution flags. Yet time and time again, when a mysterious "debris" caution occurs, the TV cameras and the announcers can never find the actual debris. Many times the announcers don't even acknowledge what the yellow flag was thrown for.
A couple weeks ago, a mysterious caution flag was thrown, and again, no one found the "debris". Coincidentally, Mike Helton (NASCAR President) just happened to have climbed 4 stories up to the TV broadcast booth for an interview and an announcement. Even the commentators joked sarcastically, "Hey, you showed up just in time for a yellow flag!"
They didn't fool anyone.
Last Saturday nights ridiculous Richmond VA race seemed to FINALLY open people's eyes to the fact that NASCAR determines the outcome of a race more often than the drivers do.
Here's a great article that tells it like it is, and what happened at the Richmond VA race. Check out the comments posted at the end of the article too.
