    Yeah? Well it'd be nice if NASCAR would teach those jerks how to drive! Almost been trailer whipped by more than a few of them.

    Those guys don't work for NASCAR. They work for the race teams and usually do other duties. Jimmy Johnson's transport driver is also the gas can man on raceday.

    you are correct. All their team / pit members are CDL holders.

    I wonder if he logs the race and pit crew practice on line 4?

    In comparison to gasoline, I assume? You're right - flash point of gas is -45F and the flash point of #2 is 125F.

    Diesel will burn.
