They change them a lot...LOL<br /><br />I think they take the highest finishing car of all 4 manufacturers. Plus 2 or 3 'random' cars. I just saw something that said that the crew chief of the 1st car out of the race picks a number. Whichever car finishes in that position, gets taken for inspection.<br /><br />Just like most NASCAR rules, I doubt many of the drivers know how they choose who to inspect post race.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-53848963165854035802009-11-10T17:39:27.658-08:002009-11-10T17:39:27.658-08:00All righty then,, the FXF are loaded up and will d...All righty then,, the FXF are loaded up and will do post tomarrow. <br /><br />Volfan,, Jimmie's car being recked, they knew he did not have a advantage over other drivers so they would have left it off the list to go over. BUT!! If you know if Kyle Busch's car had to be inspected then Jimmie's car was after all cause they where both parked in the garage next to each other and I find that odd that they didn't just load the 48 & 18 car up after the race.<br /><br /><br />Cheers2AllForensic2 bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765737305542945874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-55830240947896304132009-11-10T16:43:03.888-08:002009-11-10T16:43:03.888-08:00Well, I read the whole run down, and I'm glad ...Well, I read the whole run down, and I'm glad I did. Gene, can you do that again for the Homestead race? I have a feeling your race digest will be better than the race! Oh, and you're right, the commercials were some of the best parts.

How are cars selected for postrace inspection? I understand that Truex had a car that was too low. How are those cars selected? I have also heard that Mr. Hendrick told NASCAR to take his #5 and #48 each race because of problems they had. So the #48 wasn't taken this past race. Why is that...if you know. Sometimes I just get so confused with all of the rules and regulations. Thank you if you can offer any insight into to this. BTW, I really hope that Kyle makes the trifecta soon. He is not my favorite driver, but I most certainly respect his driving ability. I wish I had just a low percentage of his ability. Take care and be safe. Oh, I also respect you and the fact that you always allow folks to comment to you even if they have a different viewpoint. You really are one cool guy.volfan69https://www.blogger.com/profile/02813322828416537267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-62906909221537144272009-11-10T14:55:19.283-08:002009-11-10T14:55:19.283-08:00I would love to sit down with those old boys and l...I would love to sit down with those old boys and listen to their stories.<br /><br />Tim Flock was a great story teller.

So, if I had anything to say, it would be from an uniformed schmuck, and worthless. But I will say that Chad will most likly work hard on qualifying trim this week, and as a result, a probable top 12 finish. Mark should pick up a few more points to make Homestead a little more interesting. Smoke, Newman and Harvick should do well, at least I'm hoping for a win from one of them this weekend!CR_Racinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545313970575935549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-39384640848919196812009-11-10T10:08:47.882-08:002009-11-10T10:08:47.882-08:00KLV...Yeah I think JJ's still has it wrapped u...KLV...Yeah I think JJ's still has it wrapped up, but I like F-2's optimism. <br /><br />I saw a view of #48 with net hanging outside of car with no driver in car while being repaired.

He was close too 4 cars spinning at Martenvilles. I said the double file restarts would make it a different ball game and make it harder for some drivers to hide out.Yet to be a factor.<br /><br />They keep saying it and you did as well with (( don't look for JJ to stumble two races in a row.)) This was another car spiining and him being in the wrong place when it happen. He can not control the other 42 drivers on when they spin out and this is a much tighter track next week.<br /><br />I will say his luck has changed and look for something to go wrong on the car this week.<br /><br />About your red flag, I say E cause the network showed live a safty crew guy picking up someones sandwhich... so no way could they throw another one.
