Most everyone I talked to wondered the same thing. A couple hours later (when leaving Village inn on the way home) I asked one more guy, and he was quick to point out that he was in the tower for it, and came to their defense. According to him the 2 car of T-Mez was just about stopped, so they threw a quick yellow. But then 2 started moving again, so the yellow was basically a mistake. They penalized the 2 car by sending him to the rear anyway, since he was what caused the yellow.

Sure looked like one of those nascar cautions to me:2:

There was a car that got into the turn 2 wall. It happen in front of us and I thought the car was going to flip but he managed to gather it up and keep going. If I was the flag man I would have thrown the flag also just because it really looked like this car was going to be stopping on the track.

Q.

Thanks I thought is was because Whitt almost passed Swindell

...we were wondering if it wasn't a Sam.., er a NAS.., er a caution for that "debris" guy....
Interesting, wasn't it?

it is my understanding that race control calls where being done by tommie estes,if this is true then the conspiracy theory of a nascar yellow for debris is out of the question.
tommie in all my dealings has never been anything but straight up and forward,he is a former racer and would not think of such a thing let alone do it.
