    Why does spotter racing suck?

    Matt Crafton will be happy to show you:
    http://www.nascar.com/video/truck/20....seven.nascar/

    i like Benson, but his booth work here is really lacking. Hornaday did not block. he took a natural line into the corner. having your bumper 6" inside of the guy in front is not "having the position". but it's what spotter racers learn.

    a non-spotter guy knows that he doesn't "have" the spot until he gets to the door and would have backed up as he never had a chance to get that far.



    this is slightly different from the immediately preceding incident where Crafton wrecked Bodine:
    http://www.nascar.com/video/truck/20...car/index.html

    here, Bodine clearly blocked Crafton for a 1/3 of the straight and was out of the natural entrance line to the corner. Crafton may or may not have been able to get up past Todd's rear tire without the blocking, but it was still a very marginal move.

    good on Nascar for black flagging Crafton. i would have been happier with a one lap penalty. this is the only chance Crafton has of not getting wrecked the hell out of a race in the near future, that the other drivers will accept that Nascar is going to take care of the situation.

    Got Two Questions For You Have You Ever Seen

    HORNADAY DO SOME ONE THAT WAY

    AND I GUESS YOU DON'T LIKE RADIOS IN CERTAIN CARS

    HAVE YOU EVER DROVE A REALLY SUPER FAST CAR WERE YOU ARE SITTING SO LOW IN CAR WITH ALL GEAR ON BUCKLED IN SEAT WITH HAHNS ON AND ALL YOU CAN SEE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

    AND EVEN WITH SUPER QUICK REFLEXES THINGS HAPPEN SO FAST AND YOU ARE PASSING A CAR ON BOTTOM YOU GLANCE OVER FOR QUICK BLINK WHEN ALL YOUR SPOTTER HAS TO SAY IS CLEAR

    AND ALL OF SUDDEN A LAPPED CAR ON TOP BOUNCES DOWN IN FRONT OF YOU FOR JUST THAT BLINK OF EYE AND NOW HE IS SITTING UP IN YOUR WINSHIELD WHEN ALL THAT SPOTTER HAD TO SAY WAS CLEAR ON BOTTOM

    YEAH I KNOW THEM DIRT CARS RUN 4 ABREAST SIDEWAYS TRU THE CORNERS 30 CARS BUMPER TO BUMPER NEVER WRECK WITH NO MIRROWS YOU WIN GIMME A BEER

      If you can race a dirt late model with no mirror no radio then a radio and mirror should not be needed in any asphalt class at all. I thought the end of that race was perfect. 1 Shows if you block then you might get wrecked. 2 Shows if you wreck the leader then you should get punished.
