He was both behind the wall and too slow. Too many fans in the way.

New rule since teams were abusing the 'rear end' card by also using it for hemorrhoids and being chewed out by the boss so it now has to be better defined (rear gear, axle, etc.)

Given the pitch of PJ's voice, the 'menstruation' card was also offered but PJ deferred its use for later date.

You know this excuse is to be given when the crew chief instructs the driver to pop a midol. The car engine appears to start missing resulting in the car exiting the race due to fuel flow issue.

"too slow" doesn't exactly reflect well on triad either. I've never seen it used as a reason by the usual SnP crowd. In racing, it's gotta be the worst sounding reason available.

After all that happened over the last week, I'm pleased with this result. Holding on to our place in the points would seem to have been the major goal for this race, and no matter how it may have come about, that goal was accomplished.

Not pretty in the least, but given the various circumstances, a good job of keeping RGM's head above water.

We all know it's been a struggle, and some might have given up in the face of it all, but now we live to fight another day, and that's what counts.

The officials did say tell the 7 car to pick up their speed. PJ was then slowing down to get down and enter pit road. The officials then said post the 7 car, the garage officials then said 7 car just relayed they are coming to the garage, Officials then said clear the board.
