NO DOUBT, NASCAR HAS THEIR FAVORITES! NORMALLY IF A DRIVER HAS A LOOSE LUG, HE MUST RETURN TO PIT ROAD AND FIX IT. USUALLY LOOSING A LAP. LAST SUNDAY J GORDON HAD A LOOSE LUG, THE OFFICIAL FLAILED HIS ARMS, JUMPED UP AND DOWN UNTIL HE GOT THE CREW’S ATTENTION AND LET THEM CORRECT IT BEFORE LEAVING THE PITS. IN THE MEANTIME, THEY COULD HAVE LEFT ALL FIVE NUTS OFF THE LEFT SIDE AND HE (THE OFFICIAL)WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN IT BECAUSE HE NEVER WENT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RACER BEFORE LETTING GORDON LEAVE THE PIT. OF COURSE NO ONE WILL BE PUNISHED FOR THIS ENFRACTION BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY SOME DRIVERS ARE PRIVILEDGED.
