    The pit he stopped in was Chase Briscos who is not a teammate but IS a fellow Toyota driver

    Wallace was penalized for pitting out of box

    As the other person just commented, other leagues are collectively owned by the teams so while theyre competitors, they all have a common interest (usually to benefit the owners but yeah). Naturally, I thought NASCAR would have been owned by all the racing teams that make it up.

    It's also important to remember these things have happened in motorsport and their rivals team has gone out of their way to help, sometimes they don't, which is valid in a competitive situation but it's lovely when they do help

    The media likes to dramatise sport, but a true sportsman wants everyone to compete so they can show that even though they helped someone else they are as skilled as they are

    Stirling Moss was a good example of this, his main competitor in Formula 1 in 1958 was Mike Hawthorne. Hawthorne had an incident during the race in Portugal and push started his car after it cut out, which the F1 rules states was illegal to do on track. After the race Moss went to the stewards and argued that because Hawthorne was off the track when he did this he didn't breach the rules as the rule specifically stated it couldn't be done "on track", and Hawthorne was next to the track. Hawthorne went on to win the championship that year, by one point iirc, Sterling Moss would have won otherwise. Moss never did win the championship, but he's better remembered than Mike Hawthorne, because of who Moss was as a person

They decided to, as a team, forgive him and put his wheel back on and give him the “we forgive you” thumbs up. He won the championship and gave them the trophy as a thank you and lived happily ever after.

    If he had left pit road, the penalty would have been him being parked for 2 laps and 2 of his crew members getting a 2-race suspension. The penalty he got was just a pass through penalty, so much less severe.

    Tires being unsecured and coming off have to be a pretty major penalty because there have been multiple instances (though it hasn't happened in a long time) of a tire coming off a car on track and killing spectators.

    Prepare better. It's for safety. Introduce a nut count on each wheel before leaving the pit, yes - takes time but reduces danger for everyone.

    I mean, sure - how about allow pitting outside on the track - what could go wrong.

    The need for pitting outside was due to errors made, intentionally or randomly, before he left the pit. And that's what they get punished for.

    Well, not a direct teammates, but Bubba Wallace's car owner, Denny Hamlin, drives for that team -- JGR. They definitely have an alliance and IIRC it was later revealed they had that contingency worked out in advance, but they just weren't practiced with it yet. The idea being that stopping in an allied box and getting the "pitting outside of your box" penalty was much less severe than the penalty for leaving pit road without a tire, which has very strict consequences up to and including ejection of crew for a race. It happened a few more times after this, with crews responding faster each time.

    parent root
    2 points InTheLifeAnyway

    It's odd it was still legal. It would never happen (maybe if a Red Bull pulled into the junior team's pit box), but in F1 and probably other FIA-governed series, this almost certainly would be considered "receiving outside assistance" and a disqualification. Usually the rule is put into effect when a driver gets stuck somewhere and requires a push from the race marshalls to get going, but I think this would have to qualify as well.

    Edit: There was some drama a few years ago when a driver was looking closely at another team's car and touched it after a race and was fined, so there's a chance the responding team would get a fine as well. Weird how different series in basically the same sport have such different rules.

    When it comes to the pit, no one wants chaos there because there's humans really close to cars. The car already lost time, and is currently blocking the box. They haven't cost the blocked team any time, putting on a wheel doesn't use any limited resources, so might as well slap the wheel back on to clear the pit. Also helps that both teams share a manufacturer.

    They actually scrambled together quite quickly considering the crew wasn't in position for a pit stop at all.

    Imagine you're serving dinner to your family, everybody has their plate of food, and you're getting ready to sit down. All of a sudden somebody else sits at the table and is demanding food immediately, what's going on? What do they want? You're not prepared at all. That's what's happening here. You know you're supposedly to put food on this plate but you don't know what food or what to do and you were not prepared for this to happen at all. This has happened like three times over the past few seasons to clarify how rare something like this is.

    yeah but this guy brought along some food of his own.
    it arrived just after he did.
    the pit crew just put it on his plate.

    edit: you've had random people show up unexpectedly to dinner three times the past few seasons?

    This was my immediate cynical thought. There’s no kindness here, just motivated self interest. I am however vaguely disappointed to find someone else point it out when most people didn’t, so take my downvote.

    Track crew would have towed the car out. You can clearly see how one of the pit guys starts the process and everyone just follows.

    It was sportsmanship for sure.

    Do their floor jacks weigh as much as mine? 23 seconds...

    No they are made out of aluminum and meant to be easy to carry and tossed under cars. It is also way harder to pump since it only takes one pump to elevate the car.

    Yea I saw a video about them before, the crew has to basically jump and put all their weight onto the jack lever in order to raise it but all that force and the hydraulics of it lift the car to a height for the wheels in an instant

    It’s kinda in their interest to get him out of their pit box, if their driver needs to come in he can’t pit in his own area and will get penalized.

    10 second stop go penalty for unsafe release

    $50,000 fine for the helping team for touching competitors car

    There's a reason they hit them with a harsh penalty for an unsafe release in F1. Go watch Mark Webber's stop at the 2013 German Grand Prix to see why.

    Are we sure they "helped" out of the goodness of their heart and sportsmanship, and not because a car was blocking their pit stop?

    " You can't we're busy right now"

    "Busy? What do you mean busy?"

    "We're uhh.. eating ice cream."

    " Ice cream?"

    "You could probably come and get some but uhh I don't think nascar would think much of you going out there with ice cream you're having a hard enough time staying on the track as it is."

    they just don't want a car sitting in their car's pit

    The fastest way to get it out is to slap a wheel on it

    Back in the earlier days of Formula 1 teams and drivers would often help each other out with parts and equipment. David Coulthard once raced in Michael Schumacher's spare helmet because DC's kept fogging up.

    Pretty sure OP is a bot

    • Suspicious 21 day old account.

    • Title matches some Instagram post from 4 weeks ago.

    • Top of all time repost

    • Shittest music of all time

    • Googling OPs username "DanteKinks" shows they're a fucking OF account spammer / linktree link user on other platforms too.

      • (Every single OF bot on reddit uses these as well. Being the second google result for a brand new karma farming account is a very bad sign)

    OP is most likely a bot. Intentionally karma farming account so it can become an OF spammer bot within a few weeks.
