Its always been a "pace car". Its probably some guy trying to institute a "trendier" word. Kind like Paris Hilton did with "that's hot". I won't be calling the pace car a caution car ever. So, I don't think that will catch on. LOL Geesh, even local short tracks say Pace car. LOL Haha FISHA. same here. Its always been a “pace car”.

I have only ever heard it be called the Pace car, or the Safety car, but never the caution car. I always thought the caution car was the car that brought out the caution.

HMS is making great power , theres no arguing that fact. I think if the pace car had a Hendrick motor , it would be in the race. HMS is making great power , theres no arguing that fact.

Maybe not. I believe Joe and Kenny probably would've changed theirs too. But then again, this is Joe's best shot at making the race and they're gonna ride it out. The Toyota situation is interesting too. I guess we'll find out how everything held up after the twin qualifiers. Another ploy by that evil genius Cheater Chad? Maybe not.

Now I know Chevy and Toyota both sell a lot of each others cars (Corollas are sold as Chevy Prism's, Cavaliers as sold as Toyota Cavaliers in Japan, and many other models too) I do not think that Chevy and Toyota would cheat together, especially when a "Cheat" like this can hurt you more then help you.

Turns out it isn't a Hendrick thing... according to Jayski there are many more teams, coming from the Toyota Camp (Tony Stewart, OH NO! Joe Gibbs is cheating TOO??) that are changing engines too. You guys make me sick. You're just jealous because your driver isn't good enough for a Rick Hendrick. Get over it.

It's a bad thing to happen to any driver (to get bumped to the back of the pack.) But the fact that they caught the problem before the race, actually says a lot. It's a gamble any way you look at it. But I'd rather see them run the appropriate tests and change out engines, then to have them blowing engines with only 5 laps to go. ..... What I can't wait to see is, how many of them actually make it through the pack and back up front, without having an incident. If anything this is a good test for Hendrick.
