In a surprise NASCAR ruling, Logano's crew has to push his car around the track all night.

Is that against the rules? Can I call that in and get him DQ'd?

Picking your pit stall. Good to be upfront, hopefully the car is setup for a long run instead of just qualifying, or the car cuold sink to the back of the field.

OK first commercial break. I don't understand what I should be looking for to get interested in the race. Has anything happened of significance and I just missed it?

A NASCAR race is like smoking a brisket. It takes time and slight but important things can ruin the ending. If something catches fire, it may be exciting but could ruin the ending. But, when you finally slice into Kyle Busch at the end it's all worth it.

I think I mixed up the analogy in there somewhere.

So is it OK to purposely bump other cars to clear a lane? Is that frowned upon?

It is ok. Just expect someone to do it back to you. The Nascar book of unwritten rules is almost as big as baseball's.

I see. So are certain types of bumps taboo - like hitting the back quarter panel causing a spin out?

Generally, no bumping in the turns - depending on the track. Like here where you are balls out in the turns you don't want somebody moving you around.

TIME FOR SIMICO!
