wasnt aimed at you but nothing has been said lately about him and im not going to let him slip into oblivion without a fight or three
NASCAR is a team sport. As with any other team sport, if one team member is having an off day you bring in a sub for that one position. This would be like switching your whole offensive line for one players problem.Or like switching your whole infield for one players problem.I guess if Jimmy is having a bad day Chad will switch him out too.Looks to me that Chad did more harm than good on this move.
In Formula One one pit crew sevices both cars. But what you are describing sounds simular to team orders in F1 of having the secondary team car allow the primary team to pass in order to allow the primary driver to win. At Interlagos today a law in Brazil outlawing the interfering with the outcome of a sporting event, better known to us as "fixing", is a crime that carries time in Brazil.
Team Red Bull's secondary driver Sebastian Vettel won the race while primary driver Mark Webber took second. Fernando Alonso leads the points by a scant margin over Webber and took third While the finishing order won the constructors championship, which pays in the tens of millions and actually is worth more than the driver's championship, for Red Bull, in days of old Vettel would have been ordered to allow Webber to pass so he could gain more points on Alonso for the title. It's set up an interesting scenario for the series finale in Abu Dhabi. Given the strict penalties under Sharia law I wonder what the criminal penalty for fixing a race there is? When there's big money on line, which after what I learned today what a NASCAR title pays is chump change compared to F1, coming down to the wire the top dog on the team is going to get the best of everything to win the title even if that means moving a crew in mid race. But the bottom line is if I'm a crew member working for a race team and Rick Hendrick is the one who signs my check, My allegiance is to Hendrick and not Gordon, Johnson, or Martin. It's the same as football. You still get the same pay if the coach benches you for the rest of the game and let's your sub play as you would if you played the whole game.
