W elcome to the latest Happy Hour mailbag! You know how these work: You write us w ith your best rant/ joke/one-liner at happyhournascar@yahoogroups.com or on Twitter at @jaybusbee , we respond to your messages, everyone goes away with a smile on their face. I'm on golf duty this week, covering The Masters from Augusta. (Follow along over at Devil Ball Golf or on Twitter . Trust me, it's not just white guys hitting a little ball with a stick.) While the patrons at Augusta are supposed to be more well-behaved than the infield denizens at Daytona, I'm hoping that' s not the case. I'll see if I can shout "Go Junior" when Tiger tees off. Hey, better than "Get in the hole!" Anyway, your letters. I certainly hope NASCAR is happy with its green-white-checker policy. Honestly, more often than not, the only thing left after these is a bunch of wrecked race cars and a driver in victory lane that doesn't deserve to be there. Not saying I like races to finish under yellow, but I feel NASCAR and/or the drivers need to figure out a better way to handle these late race cautions that seem to come up every week these days. Thoughts? — David West Lafayette, IN My thoughts are what they always are in these situations: virtually any idea that you try to implement will have blowback you can't expect. Doing away with GWC? No way. Finishing a race under caution sucks. Adding a lap to the GWC (so it'd be a GGWC, I guess)? That might solve the problem, particularly at a small track like Martinsville. Two laps really isn't enough to get going there, whereas two laps at Talladega is a lot more room to maneuver. I understand it's frustrating for fans of, say, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson this past weekend, but really ... what more can we do? The race has to end sometime. Otherwise it'd be like soccer, which ends whenever the ref decides it ends ... and nobody wants that.
