I do not understand why Nathan Long was DQ'ed last week, but was still aloud to race. I understand they had a mandatory driver's meeting on Saturday evening prior to the races being cancelled. How could the chip end up in your pocket? Hmmm....makes you wonder. If the chip comes out you are DQ'ed, end of story. Pack it up, you are done for the night. When Brad Mitch was illegal a few weeks ago he was told he would get no money and no points. I thought we got a tech person for a reason? Guess I was wrong!

Once again people get your facts straight before you shoot your mouth off on the board. You have no idea what happened with the 63 the other week. All the rules said up to this past week was that if there was any tampering with the chip you were DQ'ed, the chip vibrating out or falling out or being hit even with a clump of mud is not tampering with the chip. From what I understand thanks to a tech man that seems to at least try to say on top of things (something the tracks never had)the rules have been changed so no matter how the chip might come out your DQ'ed after the heat and if its after the feature you loose money, points and your out for two weeks. So I think you could say they're on top of it. As far as the 10m who your obviously a fan of, sounds to me like you still can't swallow them being caught red handed, not once, but twice cheating. Maybe what should have happened with them is they should have had all there points and wins taken from them since the start of the year since the motor they ran and won with up to then was to big. Once a cheater always a cheater.

Sounds like you must be a crew member since you ironically know what happened to the 63. I know that there are a lot of pro stocks that put a piece of tape over the chip so it does not come out. Maybe the 63 should try that this week then the chip will not magically end up in his pocket. I am not a fan of the 10m just stating facts from the same class.

I also find the whole situation a bit odd. To make matters more interesting, after the incident in the heat race in the feature the 63 didn’t exactly set the world on fire… makes you wonder how many other times this year the chip miraculously “fell out”, doesn’t it? Combine this with the way Nathan acted in the pits after the feature a few weeks ago, throwing a temper tantrum comparable to one you would see by a five year old at a daycare center, I find it increasingly difficult to cheer for anyone in the pro stock division. The only likeable ones anymore are the Stroup boys, Ceballo and the Lauvers… then again that is half the field.

I agree the situation is odd, chip "vibrates" out, strange it hasn't happened to anyone else. The 63 is DQ'd but then allowed to race? Hmm, another oddity, why bother going thru the motions of disqualifying him at all? Then again, would anyone expect anything less considering the illustrious race director tells him, son, put your money away, I'll pay for you to get in this week?

Ok to set this story straight the 63's chip was found bouncing around in the cock pit of the car not in his pocket!! And at that point he was told by other pro stock drivers who have had chips bounce out about the tape and this week his chip was taped in!!!! As far as bringing Salem RV into this discussion is just rediculous, like that 18 year old kid has any decission on where his mother worked!!! I mean seriously let's hold that against him yet!!!! Maybe if you'd get to know him before you judge him you actually might like the kid.
