After the race Dale Earnhardt Jr questioned why Reutimann was still driving around the track at a reduced speed. “I would like an explanation on why that happened — from him, his crew chief, somebody,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “It doesn’t seem like there could be a logical reason to end up stopped on the track. You got a problem, get on pit road. I don’t believe he had any trouble getting (to the pits).

If you said midway through the race that Ryan Newman would be in Victory Lane at the end of the day, I would have told you that you were crazy. Newman was caught speeding on the first pit-stop of the day and was forced to start 21st on the restart following the penalty. Then, due to the lack of track position, Newman found himself one lap down on Lap 218 when leader Jeff Gordon...

Pit-road penalties hampering drivers

Via Fox Sports  |  April 03, 2012
We saw a lot of pit-road penalties during Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Martinsville Speedway. I am wondering if this new fueling deal and the readings that they are getting with it are throwing them off on figuring that out. I don't have a complete answer yet. I am going to get a hold of Tony Gibson, who is Ryan Newman's crew chief, to see what happened in their...
