    Non-issue. It's SOP to take the right rear off and replace it with a smaller tire to load into the hauler. Those things are a bitch to push around with the tire stagger on so they even it out after the racing is over. The crew was just doing routine stuff prior to loading up. No smoking gun here.

    All that needs to be done to rig a race is to let a particular car "pass" the pre-race and "post race" inspection. That doesn't guarantee a win of course, but when all the cars are so close in performance a little goes a long way. Of course you'd have to let other teams win occassionally, it's about who wins the most.
    I'm not certain myself this happens. I just think it does and I don't think it's been rigged forever just lately.

    How is driver "B" dead? I thought driver "A" was the one who got hit.
    Just messin with ya.
    We can all agree that the dude should not have gotten out and tried to confront a moving vehicle. No matter what happened, the situation would not have happened if he had stayed in the vehicle or not try to play chicken with the other cars.

    Thank for the edification, I did not know that and I have been to over a 100 dirt track races in my 67 years here on earth...

    I don't think it's rigged but, sometimes I wonder about those caution flags that "tighten" the field up and let someone get the lucky dog or whatever they call it. Sometimes it seems like it takes forever for a debris caution.
