The fans complained about the last 3 races there was too many long green flag runs and not as exciting as a wreckfest, well don't think NASCAR isn't listening to their fans even when they complain about too many cautions for debris and wrecks. So now there aren't enough cautions or wrecks and they bitch about that too.
Be careful what you ask for, NASCAR might be listening and give it to ya.
Just throw the cautions when they're warranted, and not when you think the fans are getting bored.
How many times has the TV caught Edwards throwing a water bottle out of his car to cause a caution, make him sit a week out and see if he continues to throw out his water bottle.
I'm no fan of contrived cautions such as a few years ago Jr was about to go a lap down and he flat out spun his car and it was so obvious NASCAR asked him if he intentionally spun out, I have to give him credit because he answered the question truthfully and admitted he did in fact spin out to keep from going a lap down. He was dealt with and penalized for his action, trouble is you can't penalize the people that own the series for messing with the race for throwing unneeded cautions that sometimes affect the outcome of the race.
Don't think for a minute with the economy in the toilet and many long time NASCAR sponsors either scaling back or dropping out completely NASCAR isn't trying to keep there fan base as large as possible. After all small tracks and small sanctioning bodies in every form of motorsports are dropping at an alarming rate, NASCAR wants to make sure they aren't a casualty too.
That last caution probably cost Tony Stewart a win and he was very vocal about them throwing a caution for a plastic water bottle...........You can please some of the people some of the time, however not all the people all of the time, truer words were never spoken..............
