Talk about your untimely cautions. In Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, Jamie McMurray spun and brought out the caution flag on Lap 46.
The spin was as costly to Matt Kenseth as it was to McMurray. In the All-Star race, drivers were required to make a green-flag, minimum two-tire pit stop in the first two segments. Pushing the limit, Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing team found themselves unable to meet that requirement, instead heading to pit road for a stop under caution and then serving a one-lap penalty for failing to meet the requirement.
