Pit road speeding

It was mentioned that about eleven cars were penalized for speeding on pit road during pit stops.  That's a number that's a lot higher than we've seen in the past and could be an indication of just how many actually got away with it in the past.  But, no more with the electronic timing.

I had always questioned when NASCAR would penalize one car for speeding on pit road and not the other car that was running right with them, either right behind them or right beside them.  I've seen to where two cars were racing side by side on pit road and NASCAR nail one for speeding and not the other one, it made no sense.  Some fans would cry favoritism and think NASCAR would just look the other way with some drivers, if they did that, they can't do that anymore.

A couple of big names got penalized for speeding, Kurt Busch and Jimmie Johnson, it didn't hurt either of them when it came down to the checkered flag, but it could have.  I was surprised that Rusty's name never came up with speeding down pit road, he's been nailed in the past by NASCAR many times, I'm glad he wasn't one of the ones penalized.

I still think they need to put speedometers or something in the car so the drivers know their speed, going by rpm's just isn't enough and Sunday's race proved that.  I'm not against the new way of timing pit road speeds, but they do need to help the drivers a bit if they're going to make it cut and dry like that.
