Jimmie Johnson speeding on pit road

DipStick · 10-26-2009, 11:26 AM

ESPN/ABC mentioned on the NASCAR broadcast that JJ was speeding on pit road. Watched it back several times... he passed several cars before slamming the brakes where the speed traps are.

The excuse from ESPN/ABC is that it's okay because he didn't get caught.

Now, NASCAR could have penalized JJ for speeding, but there's a bigger issue here. Once again, Jimmie and Chad have found a gray area in NASCAR's rulebook.

The question is, how long does it take NASCAR to fill this hole in their rulebook?

If they are caught and if they are not fined, if they are not penalized in any way, then they must NOT have been cheating.

Exactly.

Jimmie and Chad exposed another gray area. Until NASCAR closes the loophole, it's fair game.

As the timing is from point to point do you think that there be say 45 points of measurement (entry, each pit, and exit). The fact that Johnson knows where the current points are and uses them to his advantage is nothing more then being competitive. Nothing stops others from doing the same.

Chad Knaus is a genius - not a cheat. Tell me another sport where competitors don't try to come up with creative ways to push the envelope.

Anyone who thinks Chad and Jimmie push the envelope too much should look up Smokey Yunick.

Jimmie's the three time and defending Cup champion for a reason.
