This is one of the MSCS rules for RED FLAG CONDITIONS:
57 DRIVERS MUST STAY IN CARS - Drivers must remain in their cars while on the track. Any driver getting out of their car on the track will be disqualified from the race. During red flags, drivers must remain in their cars.
One exception would be if there is a safety issue for the driver. Another exception is that a driver should never be in their car during refueling. On track refueling is normally not allowed and would require a prior arrangement or permission from MSCS officials.
He was at the driver's meeting and as always this is stated to all of them. That was his own fault. He could've stood up and bent over the roll cage to look around the car to see if anything was visibly broken, but as soon as his feet touched the ground he was done! Maybe he'll pay attention next time! Things break, but rules are rules.
Also glad to see no one got accused of rough driving against him like the night before at J'ville on 2 separate occasions with 2 different drivers..now that was a crock!
