I hated when justin haley didnt win
@Dots Cup Series then he should not have gone below the line
I didn’t, there was literally so much room on the bottom. He just went below the line for no reason
imagine losing to a racist
Than maybe he shouldn’t have gone below the line
The yellow line rule is one of the worst rules out there. Get rid of it
@Lycan_Jedi with the package we have now it doesn’t matter what we do its still going to be a race car death trap. We would probably be going 5 wide down the backstretch
@Riggsfan99 they became more likely in 2001 after it’s introduction in the spring Dega race compared to the previous season.
Which nascar introduced the rule after Dale died and claimed that it was because of Dales death that they introduced it even though his death had nothing to do the apron.
NASCAR definitely did it for entertainment rather than safety.
@Riggsfan99 Guarantee big ones would cut to one per race on average. This package is so similar to the early 2000s package, and yet they still didn’t have as many wrecks.
@Lycan_Jedi yeah a lot of it is blocking because they have huge runs. They are going 10 mph faster than people in front of them
@TYLER_REDDICK_FAN_8 I don’t recall anybody going down there and causing a wreck before the rule. They just needed a tool to manipulate races when they felt like it. They stuck it to Tony Stewart in 01 Daytona night race for avoiding Johny Benson and not wrecking 20 cars and flipping into the stands. It had caused more wrecks in my opinion.
Justin haley wasnt below the yellow line.
But he made up for it in the cup race in 2019
@Dale Devine Yeah, at this point, it’s outdated. I understand trying to keep safety, but it’s backfired and instead making things more dangerous. I get that they didn’t want another death like Dale Earnhardt’s, but it really has backfired. With finishes like the 2009 Aaron’s 499. As exciting as that was, there were people who got hurt, and Carl Edwards had one of the scariest crashes I have ever seen. I feel at the very least, they need to put limits on the rule. You can’t pass below the yellow line, but if you’re forced down below the yellow line, it’s game on. That’s what the rule should be IMO.
dude, are you blind???? he was CLEARLY below the yellow line!!! rules are rules, he did not follow them…..
That was his own fault, he had plenty of room but he went to far down, plus he has gotten lucky with all but 1 of his wins in all 3 series so people shouldn’t be complaining about 1 race
@nascarfanatic2425 That is the rule
@Crocidayle No, the rule is that if you’re forced below the line, the person who forced you down below the line gets black flagged. That rule is so inconsistent and clearly has fans both old and new confused.
Ahh, the “Rules”. The yellow line and the “Moment” of caution, the thing that cracks me up about those is how NASCAR actually thinks anyone watching believes a word they say.
10:45 – nah, the fans didn’t want a green finish, they just wanted Jr. to win.
I never did like Jr, but they flat out gave this one to Gordon. And Dale Earnhardt will always be better than Jeff. Good for him he passed Dale in victories. All he needed was for Dale to be dead for years for that to happen. Earnhardt>Gordon
@Brennan Barrier dale was not going to get over 90 wins.
no scenario on earth would ever show that.
face it old timer jeff is better
@RC RACER 88 by that logic, if we just tracked points, Gordon would have had 8 chips.
In every metric, in every single stat except chips, Gordon was better.
@RC RACER 88 If Gordon was half the driver Dale Sr. was, then Dale Jr. is about a fifth the driver Gordon was, and about 0.01% the driver Jimmie Johnson was
@tao master Waka Jimmie was overrated just benefited from weaker competition a gimmick system and lots of cheating
Bobby Hamiltons Daytona win wasn’t a controversy, he was ahead of Spencer clearly when the caution came out
clearly, I was confused as to why this was on here lmao
Yeah weird
Maybe just because they thought the other guy won
If you have 2 tires still on the racing surface and 2 tires under the yellow line, it should be a legal move
Rules are rules he lost
You just compare left turns to real life lol. This isn’t even a sport
@Merciless Jude it is. “Turning left” is harder than it looks bud. Do you watch the sport. If no then stfu. If you do than clearly you like it so you shouldnt be talking. and it is a sport cause people compete
@Cody S. Not at all. Looked pretty cut and dry to me.
Still an illegal move regardless
12:06. ..Wonder why they didn’t just let them race another 1/4 mile and be done with it. They’d already been a mile and a half since the crash.
Because wrecked cars were going back onto the track into the path of cars at racing speed. If the cars went into the infield and stayed there they likely would have kept it green.
@DirtyBlastard Race was going to.be over though once they got to the start/finish line. So the cars would be slowed way down by then. Track personnel would have been able to ho out 10 seconds later.
Vickers spun and kept going , they should have let them run to the line at least. Jeff was the only guy in the league with Jr. on drafting, he could have still beat him to the line. As a race fan I could have accepted either one winning if they didn’t have it decided for them.
The biggest controversy ever on any track was taking the win away from Regan Smith at Talladega
Stuff like this is exactly why Nascar is straining more then ever.
@Mitchell Heath California and Michigan are big wide and fairly flat and they have some of the best racing in the season at those tracks
@Mitchell Heath the old tracks are never willing to renovate so nascar doesn’t come back
@Jake Seiner well the audience isn’t you Jeff
@Lukas Ray yes because that is why nascar is just dying
Justin Haley: “We just took them to school!”
NASCAR: “Go to the principal’s office!”
Hayley won the 2019 July Daytona cup race
Lol nice
Justin Haley: no I will not go to the principal
i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Arjun Terrence instablaster 🙂
That yellow line rule is dumb as hell. I get having some sort of track limit for stuff like preventing drivers from cutting the track, safety reason, etc, but there is not a single racing series I can think of that enforces their track limits like this. He was at top speed coming out of the draft and cut across the whole track for the win and the only thing he did was have two wheels on the yellow line. I don’t think you could ask for a cleaner move in a series like NASCAR.
Miss seeing Jeff, Jr, Tony and Edwards on the track. Thank god newman walked out of the hospital on his own. Hope Johnson has championship season.
Seeing as there are many factors to throwing the yellow on the last lap I think it should be reviewed at whatever the point of incident was. whenever the initial car starts to loss it or whatever the case may be it should automatically be from the beginning of the wreck say the first sign of smoke boom freeze frame line em out subtract the cars that are totalled
The first one is absolutely egregious. No reason to have that rule in effect on the final lap, literally 50 feet away from the finish line. Unreal. Embarrassing moment.
@Tyler Becktel It’s doesn’t reduce the crash you idio*
Quit crying. Rules are rules
@Che alot of nerve you have talking about crying when you have the Ukraine flag as your profile picture you clown
I agree it’s a stupid rule and puts them more in danger if a wreak in front of them there’s no place for them to go
The 1 car was easing over toward the inside, haley was anticipating his coming even further down, which he did.
The inconsistency on the cautions on the last lap of superspeedway are aggravating. Let them race to the finish if theres no trouble in front! I mean they do that now, but it was all pick and choose before which is terrible
I’m guessing that yellow line rule is similar to, “what is a catch” in the NFL?
No it looks like it’s just like the out of bounds line. If you cross it, you’re out of bounds. Idk why everyone is upset about that. He’s basically cutting corners.
@Lycan_Jedi I agree with that I always wonder what if you go below the line because there’s a wreck in front of you what happens do you get penalized for that
@Stephanie Noblet You aren’t supposed to, but Carl Edward’s got penalized for it then penalized again on the passthrough so he parked the car and just withdrew from the race
@Lycan_Jedi Dang that’s Ruff
I was at the 2004 499 @ Dega and I’ll never forget the sight of thousands of beers and seat cushions being tossed at Gordon..
