More debris

Jeff Burton said he doesn't agree with Tony Stewart's comments comparing NASCAR to pro wrestling. Stewart made his comments on his radio show about NASCAR's policy of using caution flags for debris at questionable times and perhaps manipulating the outcome of races.
Burton said he believes Stewart exaggerated when he compared NASCAR to pro wrestling. And he said Stewart's comments were counterproductive.
However, Burton said there have been times when he has questioned the timing of a debris caution during a race. But he believes each caution period is valid.
"Two weeks ago at Texas, I don't even know what it was, but there was a huge piece of debris on the race track for a couple of laps," said Burton, driver of the No. 31 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. "They did their very best not to throw a caution to keep from hurting somebody. The thing in all of this that drives me kind of crazy is any belief by teams or fans that NASCAR does something to help a particular team. That drives me whacko. I'd quit if I believed that's where we are. I'd just have to quit."
Burton said he does not believe NASCAR would use caution periods to benefit a particular driver.
"I don't believe they'd throw a caution so Jeff Gordon could win Phoenix," Burton said. "That worked out that the No. 24 car got lucky. It wasn't NASCAR's fault. I don't think they'd throw a caution so the Lowe's car could win a race at Lowe's Motor Speedway. I think that's ludicrous. If I ever believe that it's like that, I'd quit. And that's the thing that drives me crazy in all of this. It's NASCAR's responsibility and the charge to look into the overall good of the sport. And I think they do a damn good job of that."
