2003 Sylvania 300 - Dale Jarrett Crash
There were three cautions, and a crash involving Ryan Newman and Bill Elliott racing back to the caution flag. Michael Waltrip had a bad deal with a car on the racetrack. Spencer got loose and collided with the 88 car, causing a crash. Dale Jarrett, coming from the infield care center, expressed frustration with the seven car causing the wreck and the dangerous practice of racing back to the caution flag. Drivers are instructed to let the leader decide who gets a lap back, but this wasn't followed, causing chaos. Bobby Labonte's crew mentioned Bill Elliott's intention to let Labonte get a lap back, but confusion ensued. Racing back to the caution with a car on the track and oil present is highly dangerous. Michael Waltrip discussed the issue with his crew, suggesting NASCAR should reconsider the rule about racing back to the yellow flag.
