Was there a terrorist attack threat or something to cause a caution 156 or so laps into the Richmond race? Right when the 48 was lapped, a magical "caution" came out, and there was no explanation for it. Maybe Hendrick threw some money on the track to bring it out..............gotta be the reason! Then a water bottle caused one a few laps later..........so sad! Go on Shrubber, lap the whole friggin field.........screw nascar!!!!

I was okay with that caution if that spring rubber they showed on TV was in fact bouncing around the race groove. When they showed it, it was working its way up towards the marbles.

As we were watching the race, my buddy & i both said "soon as Jimmy gets passed" the yellow WILL come out . Never thought it'd be a spring rubber!! I can see the yellow coming out for a dixie cup or cigarette butt...Esp when the 48 goes down 1...It just NEVER fails, when he or 24 go that lap down, BOOM...Yellow! It amazes me how many times. Last year don't know how many times I saw this, only bad part they could never locate anything on TV?? The good news, JJ didn't win!!!!

I have often thought the big money teams pay under funded teams to cause a caution if needed. When they get their queue the under-funded driver throws a part out the window.
A.k.a. mystery cautions or convenient cautions.

I knew it!

It was dark in Richmond but I was certain I could still see the black helicopters.

Hendrick's gotta remote control in his possession, he just presses the button @ the most convenient times to detonate the tires from the under-funded

I believe nascar has snipers up in the stands, and when Helton gives the word, they take out a tire on one of the "cheaper" teams. This allows nascar to dictate what happens out on the track.

LOL!
If I were the under-funded team owner I would be real suspicious if he offered to pay for my tires for a full race.

Maybe Rick Hendrick throwing cash on the track works...But poor Jack Rousch gets no respect when he threw his hat on the track a few races back...one of the drivers drove right over it and smashed it!!
