I'm serious, a smart-phone, is like a small computer. An app, can easily be a program. And a program can easily be connected to the electronic system of the car, and so on. I have no doubts about it. However, it would be hard for a driver to activate it while driving.

Both tweeting incidents (daytona 500 and now) have been under Red Flag btw!

Forgot to quote, but... Tiens Van Zyl works just as well

but since then there have been a couple of in car tweets. Brad also tweeted in Richmond and Bristol, that's the thing. Also after the Daytona 500, NASCAR said, that more drivers should use social media.

Well, the mobile phoning in a car is illegal already in most countries

on the other hand it's a shame for nascar fans though.

He was fined because they are not allowed to tweet from a race car. They are not allowed to /have/ a smartphone in the car while racing.
