Lots of Hot Air at 'Dega...From Drivers!

If things keep going the way they are lately, NASCAR is going to have to open a separate division for penalty enforcement.

Based on the comments of two drivers who exited the Aaron's 499 in the same accident with six laps remaining--and spent time locked together, one upside-down--there will be a busy morning in the NASCAR offices today and tomorrow.

The drivers were Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch, who had some strong words for "them" at the conclusion of the seven-hour-plus race at Talladega. 

“They can build safer race cars, they can build safer walls, but they can’t get their heads out of their [deleted] far enough to keep them on the race track, and that’s pretty disappointing,” Newman told FOX Sports after the crash, which took out several good cars. “I wanted to make sure I get that point across. Y’all can figure out who ‘they’ is.

“That’s no way to end a race. Our car was much better than that. That’s just poor judgment in restarting the race, poor judgment…I mean, you got what you wanted but poor judgment and running in the dark and running in the rain. That’s it, thank you.”

Busch, who usually has an explanation of an event that goes on longer than the 3-and-a-half-hour red flag for rain on Sunday, was pretty clipped when it came his turn.

“My mom doesn’t come to four races a year — Daytona and Talladega," he said. "Wonder why… Good runs don’t pay well when you finish on the hook.”

In the quest to get the race in, NASCAR allowed drivers to change from dark face shields to clear because it was getting dark, and the weather in the area made it gloomy to begin with.

Copious amounts of speedy-dry on the track didn't help either, along with droplets of water from torrential rain and hail storms earlier in the day.

On the positive side, the Air Titan drying system worked pretty well, by all accounts.

Look for action--if NASCAR decides to step in--tomorrow afternoon.
