No debris flag even though we were all waiving at track workers but this crew prefers to flag with their back towards track.

Could have been a 10 car wreck, many spins and close call but everyone made it.

Debris flag took 2 laps with half the cars in the pit looking for a flat tire!
Yeah I've noticed this last year that the corner workers at Sebring don't pay attention to the track very well. Especially the T7 t13 and t16 workers. I've seen them reading magazines during events and or looking the other way.
