Du Quoin Silver Crown Question

ISF · 9/8/10, 12:16 PM

Shane Hollinsworth and another car (can't remember who) weren't able to get their cars going without a push Sunday night as the cars were being fired up and getting in formation for the parade and pace laps as well as for the green flag of the Silver Crown race. Jim Childers announces over the PA system that cars failing to fire with the external starters and needed a push to get going would have to start in the back. Neither car went to the back.

I'm sure there is a viable explaination but we were with some casual fans that heard Childers announcement and they, as well as myself, wondered why they held their starting positions in light of the long standing rule as well as the announcement.

Shane's car died after the first start they did restart it with the starter. The push truck was there but he went on his own.The other one I dont know about.
