And how could NASCAR not have rules in there for criticism....refreshing, but surprised they dont take care of themselves, like NFL or NBA.

Maybe it just seems like there are more phantom cautions, because Fox doesn't show the debris. They say they "try to find it and show it when they can", but wouldn't the obvious answer be to follow the truck and watch the guy pick up the debris? There are cameras covering every inch of the track, so it doesn't seem too difficult.

From what I know of NASCAR (More than most New Yorkers, less than most Carolinians), JJD is right. With roughly 670 cameras in the place, and with the advent of HD. This stuff shouldn't be too hard to see.

Wow I predicted it!
