Opinion: Who Did It??

Earlier this year Reed Sorenson was black flagged for throwing a piece of his inside rollbar on to the track in the attempt to cause a caution, and it did just that. Of course this is not the first time these extreme measures have been taken. For years drivers have (for the most part) gotten away with throwing everything except their helmets onto the track to cause a caution; including water bottles, gloves and padding. Drivers do this for a multiple of obvious reasons; because their car was backing up to the point of getting lapped or maybe its because they are the first car a lap down. This weekend was a prime example of how it benefited one driver and hurt another (the finger was pointed at Robby Gordon, who finished 10th and denied throwing anything out). What ever the reason it is still not a smart move. My question is what should NASCAR do to stop drivers from doing this??

My opinion is fairly simple and was mentioned by Jeff Burton in his post race interview. Stop the cars. Its that simple. After the piece is picked up and identified, stop every car on pit road for the officials to inspect. When the culprit is found then swift punishment should be administered. Umm, Black flagged for multiple laps, plus a fine and maybe even a suspension? Hard measures like this would catch the attention of those who like to cheat.
