Wilson Security Racing chief Garry Rogers has savaged the decision to restart Saturday's farcical Supercars race at Symmons Plains.
A 12-car concertina crash on lap two created carnage at the Tasmanian circuit, ending the race for 11 drivers.
But a hasty clean-up job meant 15 drivers were able to return to the track and finish the race - shortened from 50 laps to just four - under yellow flag.
Rogers, who has been involved in the sport since 1963, said he was blown away by the decision.
"It's so dumb that some common sense can't be put in place by these administrators. They just do not understand racing," he said.
"They might be able to read a little book but they just don't get it.
"It's dark. There's still damaged cars on the track. There's people wandering up and down pit lane. There's tow trucks going up and down pit lane.
"Everybody knew that the race couldn't restart. It just should have just been shut down. It's very simple. It's common sense."
Rogers saw both his drivers - Garth Tander and James Moffat - crash out in the bedlam.
Fellow team owner Brad Jones saw all three of his entries - steered by Tim Slade, Nick Percat and Tim Blanchard - suffer major damage.
At the time, he said race officials wouldn't be able to get the track clear, before the surprising restart.
He was crestfallen at the damage sustained - which commentator Mark Skaife suggested would be around $5 million for the entire crash.
"Theres a lot of work to be done," he said.
"I don't think there will be much sleep."
