Listening to the race on the radio, it was described as the tire did not leave the pit box, but apparently the rule says that after removing a tire, someone has to move the tire at least halfway back toward the pit wall before the race car leaves. Every week that I can watch the race(s) I see cars leaving the pits after a two tire stop with the tires and tire changers outside the car.

Here's another head scratcher, the penalty/fines levied against the #42 team for 'an unapproved rear brake cooling system'. Granted, the 42 did not get through tech inspection prior to qualifying and subsequently started at the back of the field. But, the car certainly went through and passed inspection at some point prior to the race. How was the brake cooling system OK then, but not OK after the race????????

I don't think the brake cooling system was ever OK. I think NASCAR allowed the car to run the race rather than forcing the #42 team to sit out the race.
The unapproved changes were likely determined to (1) not provide a performance advantage, (2) not endanger driver safety, and (3) the team was unable to provide a car without those changes.
So rather than not run the race, the team elected to run knowing that they would receive a fine and suspension.

The paying customers and TV watchers aren't allowing it....look at the ratings and the stands.

IMO The above statement has no practical application. First of all, the safety rules, the racecar rules AND the racing rules are what they are,....we have no say-so. All you can wish for is that the new president will change the rules to something that you like. IMO that's not going to happen.
