The caution should have come out when Ward went flipping but it still takes 3-4 laps to collect the field and have them slow down to yellow flag speeds. And every driver I spoke to today said to drive a sprint car you push on the gas when you turn the steering wheel. It becomes an instinct. And the throttle response on those engines is unreal.

Like it was said before he should have stayed in or at least near his car. Heck he could have been hit by some one just checking up for the yellow.

Super sad deal, but the judgement on this deal by the armchair racers is crazy.
Roger, i never meant to pass judgement on anybody, sorry if i was missunderstood. I meant too say Tony probably didn't see him, at least i hope that is what truely happened.
