Quite a finish for the C6.R Corvette Teams. A dirty pit blocking trick was rewarded with a much deserved 20 second penalty and gave the victory back to Ron Fellows team.

It's sad to see NASCAR type poor sportsmanship rearing its ugly head in roadracing. I'd like to see some monetary penalties against drivers and teams that encourage this behavior.

Were you able to watch any of the race?

It was the other C6.R Team Corvette that blocked em in their pit!

I watched a good bit of it. Call it team rivelry and bit of frustration as they were instructed not to pass one another for fear of wrecking the only 2 C6R's in existance.

I'm pretty sure that it was meant for them to not crash during the race. Blocking in the pits is just poor sportsmanship. I didn't like the fact that the crew chief (or whoever) the reporter was interviewing was laughing off the incident like it was all in good fun. I don't think there is anything funny about cheating. This incident cheapens the sport. PLUS how could a team member do something like that to a fellow driver (or in this case a Ron Fellows driver) who recently lost his father? It's just too creepy.
