Why is it that in the truck series?

May be...

I don't have an answer to the part about why they have the rules set that way, but I do have a comment on Mike Skinner's crash. That was a hard lick he took, but I wonder who remembers the wreck he had in the 31 Lowes' car circa 2001 or 2002, where he was sidelined for a few weeks with an ankle injury. Now that was a hard hit.

It's to save money but by making more pit stops makes it more dangerous as the pits are more scary than being on the racetrack. It's really STUPID !!!

Maybe its because of the location of the gas cap.

That was quite the ride that Mike Skinner took @ Lowe's. Amazing.

the teams are not allowed to change tires and fuel up on the same pit stop?is it a safety issue or what?and if it is then why not make that rule go into effect in the nationwide or cup series?remember there are 7 more teams during those races than a truck race.

Reduced salaries for crew/team members. Although some people think its stupid it makes perfect sense. I'm a hardcore truck fan for years and it doesn't bother me in the least. Very good for the series in these lousy economic times.

Man Mike just got slammed. Ouch.

It's simple. The same 4-5 guys instead of 7 are cross trained to do multiple jobs. Instead of having one man(at about $40,000 salary) to do one job. Get it?

That's $120,000 in salaries saved which keeps cost down and number of team entries up.

Thats just a random salary rate but regardless it's a lot of money saved.

Amazing! That's what I call knocking the wall down. You just never know what you'll see in racing. Wow! Mike's fuming.

its is weirdpassport signup
