: just read an interesting article in which Tony Stewart accuses NASCAR of
: race-fixing by throwing needless cautions because of "dirty track"
: conditions under suspicious circumstances. The article also mentions

Common practice for years. NASCAR likes cautions. Lots of action on pit
road, and it tightens up the field.
