Congratulations. You must be SO proud.
Actually, it’s too close to call. It might be a 3 way tie
This is why NASCAR is a motorsport like no other
Lmfao
F1 could never
F1 and most (all?) FIA series use transponders for scoring. If your car’s transponder crosses the loop first, you are the winner. No need for cameras.
@@MaunoKoivistoOfficialOf course NASCAR uses transponders or we wouldn’t have electronic scoring. For close finishes they use the nose of the car, because when it’s so close, the finishing order can change if you measure further back in the car where the transponder is.
I still dont understand how f1 uses 2 lines. And ive been watching for 30 years lol
@@R3mix97 This is fine to do, but you might just as well use the transponder to determine the winner. In F1, it doesn’t matter whose front wing crosses the line first because that’s not where you measure the position of the car.
NASCAR, a billion-dollar organization, still has a photo finish camera from 1980
half a billion at most
What were the two NASCAR races with closer finishes than this?
Talladega 2011 (0.002) and darlington 2003 (0.001
If you zoomed the second image and watch it very carefully you can spot a tongue right there, its just amazing this footage
Lmfao
That’s a great explanation and great camera view, I’m happy for Daniel Suarez winning the race.
The camera is was focused on the background which was standing still. Anything flying in would be blurry. Nascar should get The Slow Mo Guys’ cameras to get a photo finish at their typical insane frame rates.
Kinda crazy they dont have a 1000 fps camera for this exact scenario lol only needs to run for literally the last 5 seconds of the race
Still an amazing finish. I happen to compare it to the scene from Cars.
