Team orders?

I can see both sides. Not my business.

Impossible to prove or disprove......No way to police either if you
could prove it.

Why would it matter to anyone who is not on the team? That's what a team does, whatever it takes for the benefit of the team. Beginning of the year, end of the year, west coast, your coast.........................why would anyone care?

Why would it matter? I don't know ask drew skillman. I bet he could give you one reason.

Mike Pearson · 02-19-2016, 05:57 PM

That's how it's done in a team atmosphere. All in for the team.

May not be orders at all. Maybe he just bulbed. Did you see DeFrank's lights in eliminations? The guy is a machine. He doesn't need anyone to take a dive for him.

But, if it was a dive, who cares. I supposed I'd give it away too if I lined up against the car's owner. I doubt DeFrank gave him any orders.

Well as I remember it was a couple of years ago when he got very close to the stock world championship, there was another one at Pomona also but who's counting. I never said it shouldn't happen, but at the end of the year everybody starts pointing fingers yet nothing is said at the start of the year, Also who is a team member?, are they team cars owned by one owner or do you just get paid to leave early or not show-up?

I have never understood why some people will complain about a team car taking a dive. What about the 35 other win lights he has to turn on to be in the hunt for the championship? Seriously, 1 easy run out of 35 from a car that you own shouldn't even be discussed. Especially when that car has to get to the 3rd round to help you.
It's part of the game. Deal with it. Or buy 30 cars and bye-run your way to a championship, which probably still wouldn't happen.

That`s normal. Not as many people notice because everyone is in the title hunt. At the end of the season everyone starts following the very few that still have a chance while racing in Vegas and Pomona.
