1. Stopping ASAP as safely as possible makes our job of getting to the scene much

2. When you do stop, pay attention...stopping next to another car can make it tough
to get a safety vehicle through to the crash scene. I have already had to stop
and back up because a racer swerved at the last second, filling an opening.
3. When the red comes out, rest assured...SAFETY VEHICLES ARE MOVING...PLEASE
GIVE THEM ROOM! YOU WOULD WANT THAT IF THEY ARE COMING TO HELP YOU!
Remember, at the end of the night, everyone goes home standing up.

keith let me make a suggestion...at the next drivers meeting when the pit steward tells the drivers to go to say the front straight away under a red ,if they can safely do so ,without passing the wreck...have him instruct the drivers to park high and leave a lane for emergency equip to pass.......one car flips on the first lap,you won't get 20-21 cars lined up nose to tail nobody side by side on the straight away...but my way you could have a lower lane avalible...not one driver wishes to impeed the safety teams but remember we don't have rear view mirrors and once our cars are out of gear we're going to stop when the momentum ends
