Busch Mex a potentially good race screwed up by too many caution flags.... NASCAR demonstratied that thy do not know how to do a road race... going full course yellow every time some moron spun... which was every other lap. This isn't Daytona.... you can have localized yellows.

Boris Said and Fernandez really got screwed by that foolishness... but both put on a show... excellent driving from both... you could actually watch Boris drive once in a while between long stretches of coverage of Truex driving around by himself. 30th to 5th... awsome... plus giving Rusty Wallace a facial at the end.... just as icing on the cake...

Finally, towards the end, they had a spin or two that they covered with flags locally.....with BLUE flags!

Yes, we always wave the blue flag in a caution situation.... makes for a much more exciting race for the spectators

I think it means "pass NOW"....everyone else is busy, or not watching for you.

This thread caused me to review Speeds shows this week. BLECH!!! Crap!! I'm considering just cancelling because I find myself not watching it anymore. They even moved 5th Gear away from prime time. But as long as they keep Speedvision World Challenge then I'll be happy... My fiancee and I loved watching those races last year. A great race series.
