    Stewart,Gordon,Jarrett or one of the Dodge boys? Maybe the call took place last week when the Dodge's got 2 more inches of valance! Feel free to jump in anytime hpward!

    Is it possible that NASCAR will just let them race fairly? They must be aware of the tremendous amount of negative rhetoric that's been prevalent lately. Perhaps that initial Dodge win would be just too obvious for anyone to believe. Another "story book ending" might be a bit over the line. I guess we'll see in a few hours just how gullible NASCAR thinks their fans are and how much B.S. they can get away with!

    It looked like the Dupont guys made their own call this time around! I believe I picked it back here

    The "debris" on turn three was a wad of 200 mph duct tape that had been on the track for 27 laps untill they decided to throw the yellow flag! Another mysterious yellow when "certain" teams needed it!

    I thought there were two debris cautions. The one about the duct tape...can you back that up, it looked to me like a long metal strip. The other one was definitely not bogus, there was a big piece of something just above the racing lane. Anyone with a tight car could have hit that at any time and it would have ripped the tire apart.

    My cousin is an observer in turn three and he told me it was duct tape. The race control channel had chatter about it for several laps.
