They knew Brad had the phone in the car all year, pretty stupid they wait until the second last race to fine him for it. If they didn't like what he said in the media center, then fine him for that, not the phone.
They can't fine him for the media center stuff because its allowed. The problem seems to be he's the social media nut so they couldn't do their behind the scenes fines on him, so they just find something else to fine him for.
He has used his phone in the car since Daytona though, don't remember where it was but there was a rain delay and he tweeted a picture from in his car during the red flag. They could have told him long ago he couldn't have a phone in his car if it was really an issue.
Well, where to draw the line? People do it in the media center all the time. I believe you can say whatever you want in the media center. However Brad took a jab at NASCAR, so NASCAR took a jab back with the cell phone BS.
Brad had a right to say what he did in the media center.
I'm VERY happy to see Mid-ohio appear on the Nationwide Schedule. I'll 99% be there. I've always wanted to go there for the Grand-Am Series and now that there's a Nationwide race somebody might actually go with me
Homestead and US GP back to back before this next racing season even starts.
Now, about Eldora.. Let's hope that's better than expected.
The Nationwide and Grand Am races aren't the same weekend though are they? If they were I might think about going, chances are pretty low though with everything else going on over the summer though. I think Nationwide will be good on that track though, I'm looking forward to it for sure.(Edit: They're not the same weekend, what genius made that decision?)
I don't see how Eldora will be anything other than a mess but we'll have to hope for the best.
And now it's surely over for the championship Inexperiance in the truck series as expected. The Championship was within 1 point . VERY hard hit for Blaney.
I must say that I am very impressed by how Kyle Busch took the loss considering that way that he lost it. He's maturing thanks largely to Joe Gibbs I do beleive.
That being said, I'm glad he didn't win
