NASCAR said, “We’re sorry.”

What?

I heard this today and did a double take.  To my recollection, that doesn’t happen very often with this unique, automonomous, family-run sporting body.

Did you watch the race?  (I heard it was pitiful to watch).  What do you think of the apology?

Here’s the story from the Associated Press:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - NASCAR is apologizing for the tire fiasco
that ruined Sunday’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and has
already started working to avoid a repeat.
Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president of competition, says
the organization is “sorry” for tire troubles during the
Brickyard 400 and it is NASCAR’s responsibility to make sure a
similar situation doesn’t happen again.
A durability issue with the tires Goodyear brought to Indy
forced NASCAR to call cautions every 10 to 12 laps Sunday. The
longest run under a green flag was 13 laps and Jimmie Johnson
claimed the victory at the end of a seven-lap sprint to the finish.
