Thats fine you have to race the spot you are given, didnt seem to be a problem when Jon came from the back Friday in his heat. The simple facts are although Fitz has taken his game to another level this year and is the most improved driver in my eyes, Jon has won 21 races this year and $15000 in 2 nights work. Sorry Fitz has got some driving to do to sniff the rarified air that Stanbrough and the Fox boys are breathing.

The thing is, a rule is a rule. As Jim stated, somebody other than a track vehicle pushed BFITZ off the track. Whether Blake had anything to do with that or not, isn't an issue. Rules are rules, he has brakes on his car and could have very well locked them up so the driver who pushed him off couldnt have done so. Either way, he was fun to watch come through the field.[/QUOTE]
It's very possible that Blake had no idea who was pushing him.I don't know that to be the case,I'm just saying it's possible.

So he changed the tire under red? Is that a violation? Just curious, as I would rather watch him than sit him.
You talk about a question of rules, I have one: Why was Brady Short allowed to start side by side with Hughes in his heat race. There was a yellow and the anouncer said he was supposed to start 7th behind T-Mez. I heard that drivers said that he was told numerous times over the race reciever to go back and refused. MSCS threw the green anyways. I understand drivers fighting for spots that they think they gained. What I don't understand is why MSCS did nothing but allow him his transfer spot. I been around racing a long time and standard rules usually say you go back 2 spots for every one you gain when you jump a start. By refusing to go back he jumped the start and should have been put back 4 spots.
If you look in your mirror and see a line of cars behind you, be kind and pull over.

I dont believe it is a violation to work under red the violation came when for some reason Robert Ballou proceeded to go out on the track with a 4wheeler and push Fitz back to the work area. When he got their MSCS disqualified him Fitz got out of the car at that point and thought his night was done. Well since it was not his crew member who pushed him MSCS elected to let him back in the race and it took so long because they had to wait for him to strap back in. So the question is what was Robert Ballou thinking?
How come MSCS rules get questioned just as much as USAC rules and make less sense than USAC rules (No work area) but people always hype MSCS as the "racers series"?
