I too thought it was entertaining. I wonder if Kyle had to pay for the 2 SUV's (his and the radio guy's) that he damaged at the end by bumping and banging.

Bristol seems to have lost something since it was redone. I suppose the teams like it better tho, since not many cars seem to get torn up much anymore. Maybe it's easier to drive now.

If anyone or any entity REALLY wanted to press this issue, remember OSHA always has the General Duty Clause in its’ back pocket just waiting to “throw the flag” for a penalty. It’s an honest to goodness Federal Catch - 22. There’s no legitimate reason that it wouldn’t work either. All you would need is a complaint from some fan or “employee” to have OSHA investigate. Remember, if it’s not covered by a written standard the GDC will cover it. Whether you are a ticket holder, crew, driver, worker, etc you would be req'd to sign a waiver or accept as part of a purchase agreement. Of course is it worth the paper it's written on? That is why NASCAR is so quick to protect the fans, or legally get to them so quickly should a situation arise. IMHO I sure hope OSHA never becomes involved in pit road. That would make for a very diluted and boring aspect of racing. Sure don't need anymore Gov type intervention in our lives, had enough of that recently! In response to Terry’s OSHA question above.
