@jeff_gluck @bobpockrass there has to be a better way to do this right? It’s 2025 and the technology has to be out there to take this out of the incompetent hands of race control. Ideas: 1. Use transponders to trigger caution lights INSIDE the race cars behind a wreck.

Maybe based of telemetry speed differences when a car either gets turned around/takes an impact? 2. An in car light for cautions and then if race control decides it’s bad enough to throw a FULL caution, then they can override it and trigger ALL lights around the track.

The current system has basically been in place since 2004. Racing etiquette has changed a lot in the last 20 years yet we’re still using processes from back then. More slam bam, less respectful racing will always trigger wrecks. Time to have the system adapt.

Massive crack on Fury 325 at #Carowinds. I emailed the park and they told me, "The park’s maintenance team is conducting a thorough inspection and the ride will remain closed until repairs have been completed." Credit Jeremy Wagner

#NASCAR ... For years, strangers knocked on Paul Call's door, hoping he'd let them see North Wilkesboro Speedway. He did more than that. He made the track come alive. nascar.nbcsports.com/2023/05…
