That, and you have to learn the spots wehre everyone just randomly "checks up". It's always the inside line. Places like the tri-oval at Talladega, going into Turn 1 on a start or restart at Texas, coming off turn 4 at Kansas, Las Vegas, and Kentucky, the middle of the turn at Bristol... it's stupid. The outside line checks up going into turn 1 at Daytona if the car to the inside is just ahead of them. If the outside line is ahead, you're good. They try to avoid cars that are 10 feet from them and going in the same direction, yet will plow right into a car blocking the track wihtout even thinking about it. They don't "check up" for accdients.

Here are your classic NASCAR photos of the day.... I tried to do a "garage" theme, but I just didn't have too enough pictures to pull that one off. So I added in a few of pit road as they lined up for qualifying, since we are qualifying today.....
All photos, except the one with Pearson pitting, are from FloridaStockCars.com.
Here is Tiny Lund on pit road in 1968 in the #16 Torino. He was called "Tiny" as a joke... guy was about 6'5" and weighed about 250-275 lbs.
Here is Bobby Allison on pit road posing with his #22 Dodge, I think this would be the July race in 1969?
And the one picture I do have in the garage.... Bobby Isaac backing out of his garage stale, 1968.
Another garage shot. I think this photo is from 1971, Donnie Allison drove the Wood Bros car that year in the fall race, and Elmo Langley, who went on to drive the pace car for many years after his career was over, in his Torino.
Even though the Torino was a '68-'69 car, they continued to run it through '71 at the speedways where aerodynamics mattered beacuse it was actaully much more aerodynamic than the '70-71 body.
I cheated a little bit and used this picture. This is a picture from the Don Hunter Collection, published by Smyle Media. It's David Pearosns Torino in the pits at Daytona, 1969.
This photo is also from the Don Hunter Collection, Richard PEtty's crew is either loading up or unloading for the 1969 Daytona 500..
