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.

I am sure that all cars were overflowing with fuel when they were pushed off for the A. Everybody knows what kind of fuel mileage game THAT has become with all the cautions. Yes, everyone could say they all have 33 gallon tanks, and I'm not saying I don't agree but which they should have been used.
As for the situation not being able to be resolved, I am gonna say that in my opinion I think you are wrong here. I don't think that any fans were looking to see a penalty, everyone was just looking to have a nice, SAFE last few laps. Race/Points leader or not it was very unsafe for all people who were at the track, and no one should be allowed to try to 'limp' a car to a win, especially under the circumstances at THAT last night.
You better believe if anyone other than a USAC points contender/regular was leading the race and his RR was going down, he would have been black flagged, and not given an extra 4-5 laps to try to re-inflate his tire.
