Believe it or just under four hours, the S-series need yesterday to 76 rounds in Montreal to attend. An indictment.
NASCAR and its strategy with the Cautions is such a thing. On some routes (Fontana, Michigan, Pocono), one wishes the interruptions caused longingly at some races, they seem almost to be redundant, and meant solely for additional commercials to be. Yesterday was such a race in which one might have wished that NASCAR would not throw for any little shit a break. The race in Montreal was an extremely thick chunks, which had at the end even the wrong winner.
No fewer than 11 Caution was there yesterday, one of which was thrown in due to rain. There were only three interruptions in the last 10 laps. And a large part of Caution was quite simply completely unnecessary. Time standing around a car on the side, sometimes a little gravel lay in a curve. All the things that prompted the NASCAR leaders to make the whole distance under yellow. Yellow flags in a curve, because there is one? None - hardly anyone was parked, hardly had shot two times, it was yellow. The longest green phase lasted 13 rounds. A joke, in fact a worse.
That may be because NASCAR has no idea of circuit racing, but even the usually friendly ESPN commentators were surprised at the frequent interruptions and the team leaders twisted just the eyes. This was not a race, which was kind of an orgy Cuation. Is the person responsible is not clear that it must crack each restart, when forty cars turn into a tight corner?
So nice it was to convert the car to "rain" at the end, it was pointless and unnecessary. At this point, the race lasted only three hours and was hard to beat for toughness. After all, the audience appeared to suffer tested was pleased with the decision to go to the final laps on rain tires.
Marcus Ambrose was the greatest sufferer. In the last chicane on the last lap made a small mistake, a little far out rtuschte and Carl Edwards was through. He had indeed delivered a good race, but his action at GWC restart was very hard. (Sorry, nothing to be found at You Tube.). Edwards had to restart the hard set against the Canadian junior driver Andrew Ranger by where in turn two with two wheels on the grass and went to colleagues gently pushed to one side. Can you make in the BTCC was also down yesterday Sun Nice it was not.
And then came this:
After the whole 'meanness because of Caution was then a somewhat unsatisfactory ending, because Ambrose's victory was indeed quite gekönnt. Edwards was in the final laps the car a little better, but under normal circumstances he would not be passed to Ambrose. But like so be it - at Watkins Glen had scoured the Australian Kyle Busch, in Montreal, it was just Edwards, who drove him into a mistake. Then compensates for this, in racing.
But I want to forget the race as quickly as possible. And tell the NASCAR: you worried for circuit racing commissioners, who have a clue.

completely agree with you Don. it was just a cramp ... if I look at all next year again with the nationwide in montreal I doing to do net. 4 hours but I did not buck.
I had already said that Saturday would be better on road nascar lifted Coursen with local yellow. schopn but as you said. mingled with a bit like gravel and everything done under yellow ..... sometimes painful to watch how the NASCAR pulls into the ridiculous.
Jop, and I 100% Agree. Caution because the gravel was even for Nascar ratios just ridiculous. In addition, it should have been Nascar clear that not all wet track about 35 cars were hit at that time still in the race to the breaking point ....
full-course yellow due to gravel. more must be said not glaubich.
I took the race in the green phase very interesting. If you have a crash can / should there be just a caution. But with such a long distance like a game in Montreal with the pace car would have been enough. NASCAR should really rethink the point in the rules.
