If you click it on, you can't turn it off. Someone outside has to hit the cancel switch.
And as mentioned, if you click it on, you have to pull into the pits or get black flagged.
Problem solved.
the drivers discussing it were pretty strongly against it
And how many really love change?
Think they're happy every time a rule change comes out?
I know they were in just a fight when they came out with the templates they use now; remember the people that got penalized for complaining about the new car?
Agreed; to walk out on Hendricks and team with Rousch? Had to involve a HUGE box of money

Not really teaming with Roush, SHR will be building their own cars (a new thing for them, at least in the last 5+ years). They will be using Roush-Yates engines, but that's a separate operation from Roush Racing.
And Jim, ya coulda been surprised here yesterday when I posted that!
saw your post and went looking for written conformation .... thanks for the head's up ....
Isn't SHR's timing on making this announcement a little DUH!
They have to use Hendricks stuff for the rest of this year; you think they'll still be invited to the meetings and getting the good stuff?
Would have been better if they would have waited till the end of the year to make the announcement.

Probably not. It woul likely have leaked soon anyway, now that the season has started and journalists are looking for news every day.
Cars nowadays go through 2-3 "generations" per year. SHR might not get the latest and greatest by the end of the season, to prevent giving away a technical advantage, but not collaborating as much as possible for as long as possible is really a disadvantage to both teams.
