Chad Knaus made one heck of a call. Wouldn’t we love to know how much fuel was left after the burn out. But it could have gone badly, what if Jimmie had given out of fuel going into turn 3. What if Tony Jr had brought Jr in with more laps to go? With 2 tires and fuel he might have caught back up with Jimmie. We saw what happened earlier when Jr got tires and fuel. But then if during the later laps something had brought out a caution? My head is going to explode.
Speaking of extra fuel… have y’all heard how Nascar had Smokey Yunick’s car torn down in the garage for a while looking for improper equipment, specifically something related to extra fuel capacity. Supposedly he asked if they were done, cranked his car and drove off, with no fuel tank in the car!

LOL
Yeah – Jimmie ran out during his victory lap and had to get pushed to Victory Lane!

I did have to
laugh at Chad telling Jimmie (continuously!) to slow down at the end of the race. And then to put it into neutral, coming out of turns three and four.
Did you see the pictures of the tow truck pushing Jimmie to Victory Lane?
