he was gary scelzi crew chief -why did he not shut down the car when body refused to open for final run? Of all drivers to continue - a crew chief should have known how dangerous that pass could be!!

Didn't you hear his interview after the race?
He said he didn't know Medlen had to engage everything. Sounds like Medlin might do things differently than he did when he was a Crew Chief.
Yeah that's putting alot of faith in Zippy's right arm; and the whole brake system in general. Reminds me of the race at Dallas in the 90s' - Scott Kalitta driving his Dad's top fueler, he couldn't get it into reverse after the burnout. Before Tim Ferrell dove under the car sitting there idiling at like halftrack - he motioned for Scott to not touch anything and pull on the brake as hard as he could.Then whoever it was that got on the ground that was insane. That could have gotten ugly.
Buster would have helped em get the body openYeah, I was thinking the same thing, jumping down there and crawling up under that thing, you got to be in line to mangled at best and squashed like a possum at worst. With an amped up driver just wanting to stage and go. Do you think Buster would have let that go, or would he have planted himself in front of the car?
Well I guess if they trust the brakes enough to stop the car after a 300 mph lap they would think they hold at idle....Yeah that's putting alot of faith in Zippy's right arm; and the whole brake system in general.

Mike might want to tone down his "I was pissed" remarks on TV. Or maybe that's good these days.
I think he's a heck of a natural driver. I wasn't sure what to expect since this is his first season but he's driving that car like he's been in it for a long time. I bet it's only a matter of weeks until he's in the winners circle.I was also quite impressed how he handled the explosion and subsequent fire. He was very well composed given his biggest concern was the victory gone by.
