As we bring back our crew from the play by play -- Mike let's check back on the latest at least your thoughts on the Carl Long situation. There's a movie actress curious case of Benjamin button Brad Pitt grows younger by the day inexplicably. Let's have a look at the curious case of -- law Carl gets injured like in the mail for the sprint showdown. 33 in last place pays almost 47000. Dollars. So Carl spends about 16000 dollars on his racing effort to get ready to run in the showdown so he thinks he's going to cover the track to make at least. Eleven grant. Well more than 33 car show up so the decision is made on race weekend the last two cars we paid 5000 each so now Carl could go in the hole. In practice his engine overheat and and and he bought and has been running for all along. That it's it's used up hit birdies he has two choices he can park his car and go home -- nothing. Or he can turn the engine over to NASCAR to inspect and put in a back up engine which he does. NASCAR decides the engines or is too big dude -- where Carlson has not in General Assembly. I want 1000 that an inch NASCAR keeps the engine. Now Karl's -- want to grant. And then as you said they drop the hammer a twelve game suspension for he and his wife the car owner and his crew chief gets behind. 200000. Dollars and ends up in the hospital on Monday with partnerships now -- out 220000. Dollars and it gets worse. His day job is working on one of these race teams and spotting for the driver in the races in which she's not better. If he's suspended from NASCAR he can't come to the track so the total loss to Carl Long. 411000. Kevin Mench could be. 275000. Dollar.

Oil in my game and none of us none of us argue in a fact that the engine was a legal for you know it's 358 cubic inches and it detailing a ritzy legal. What we don't understand what that make any sense and Obama and what hurts the credibility of this ruling in. NASCAR in general. When you make -- liked -- when you put a penalty like that only young and I'm on the team that has no resource is the man works two jobs just go to drag his car the race. Racetrack -- later race all year. And when you put a plan and a penalty like that on that got. This is unreasonable that the -- since he got to say why would you do. I don't know I mean that's just that's the question I have that's why would you do that.

Well I think NASCAR they did their job you know I think to keep their credibility that John -- Robin camera than they did what they had to do because -- injury was too big. Carl has appealed it I think the appeal committee will will will look at the real matter here you don't try to think of an analogy -- you and I were talking earlier you have the speed limit going -- how -- 65 miles an hour and a guy is cult run an eighty. He's over the speed limit he's guilty. Until they found out he was trying to get his wife to the hospital because she was about to give birth to a baby there -- eleven winners when rules were sentenced to home when law holes are set in stone but I think sometimes you have to take a step back and say okay you know what this is an exception to some degree.

And that's our justice system NASCAR's laid down the law we hope that the appeals board restores order in. Make the punishment fit the situation.
