   Easiest job in sports: Nascar rules official. Make it up as you go.

     [1]Had it not been the last lap, NASCAR surely would have thrown a
     caution flag immediately, which would have frozen the field at that
     moment.

   Hardest job in sports: Nascar spokesman. Having to explain what just
   happened.

     [2]"When the 07 [Bowyer's car] got sideways on track, the yellow
     came out at that time," Poston said. "The 29 [Harvick] was ahead of
     the 01 [Martin] at that time and declared the winner taking the
     checkered flag."
     Huh? 

   It's a show not a sport.
