But all anybody wants to do is come on here and bash USAC for everything they do. When last nights situation had no chance to be resolved. All competitors know that they do not through red flags for fuel. And I BET that they continue to not through red flags for fuel. The tanks are big enough so if you are worried through more fuel in.

If USAC, the sanctioning body that RUNS THE SHOW, would have stepped up and taken care of the tow truck situation earlier in the night, fuel would have never been an issue. Yes, people should probly prepare and run 33 gallon tanks, but they would have been fine if this race was run under normal circumstances. USAC is the sanctioning body, it is their responsibility to run the show in a safe, timely, and fair manner, and it wasnt done, plain and simple. I like Levi, and would have done the exact thing he did in that situation, but I guarentee Tommy Estes would have black flagged him the moment he passed the pace car, flat tire or not, and he wouldnt have let him roll around for 4 or 5 laps out in front of the pace car hoping for a fuel stop.
On a lighter note, on the way home last night, I could have swear I saw Kevin Miller at the 24 hr. Kinkos making copies of job applications...
haha funny everyone, calm down
