| bern i have a couple of issues about sun.in the thunder main.i was in third,spun out in turn one.butwhen i spun the caution was already out,and i got sent to the back of the pack,when the race should of been restarted and i should have been in third place not last.but thats no big deal.and then on with 3 0r 4 laps to go,i caused the caution in turn 4,went to the pits.but got in time befor the race restarted.finshed 4 but u got me listed as finishing 9,if i'm not mistaken i thought there was only 4 to 5 cars that went across the finishing line at the end and my car was one of them. and to any one who was there and seen the main thunder race on sun,if i'm not correct in what i'm saying here, please let me know.not trying to cause trouble,or to piss anyone off just trying to figure some thin'gs out.
thank you. driver car 47

| I was wondering what the rules are when a driver goes into the pit, R U automatically down a lap?
Is it different if you go in the pit on a green,yellow or red? Very hard for the fans to know what is going on. Also, I will use #11 as an example, not to pick on him but alot do it... when they come out of the pit on a green,he entered the track in 3rd.position and stayed in third or second whatever for the checkered. Does he get 2nd. or 3rd. whatever way he crosses the finishes? If someone would clear this up a little bit for the fans to understand it would be appreciated. Thanks.

| If a car goes into the pit with a flat during the green.Then comes out,down a lap,enters after last position car...then passes all cars and ends up in the first position at the checkered , does he recieve first place? Is he still down a lap...

| i was under the impression,that if u went into the pit on a caution lap,as long as you don't cause the caution,u get to go back in line where u left from.if u caused the caution then u go to the back of the pack.when we go into the pit on a green flag,chances are your going to go a lap down.so if u come out of the pits and end up right behind the leader,and cross the finish line behind him,that doesn't mean your second.well it shouldn't because your probably a lap down after u came out of the pit.

| if you go in the pit under a yellow you do not lose a lap,you have to start at the back of the pack.the only way you lose a lap if it is under green and you can,t get back out before the leaders cross the start/finish line.

| this is not a big issue just hearing from fans that watched the race,that when i spun in turn 1 the caution was already out .i was in third but got sent to the back.And that at the end of the race there was only like 4 to 5 cars that crossed the finished line and i was one of them,but i'm listed as finishing 9. no big deal,not trying to make a really big issue of it ,and like i said i was driving so don't really know,just going on what i'm told by people that watched the race and trying to figure some things out.
thank you.

| Darrin, when you go into the pit even on a caution, you have to go to the back of the pack. If you enter the race again on a greeen, you are not counted until you come around under the tower, which would in fact put you down laps. No matter what reason you enter the pit you have to restart at the back. Only fair to those who do not.
