Nope he gets away with it with it
He shouldn’t. He clearly cheated
i mean nascar could’ve just said it much earlier
That’s like saying not calling an obvious strike in a tie baseball game
NASCAR consistently being inconsistent is a tale as old as time
Fine him 100k take the win and make him a drive throw pentally at Martinsville
So why didn’t they penalize him then? Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. got really screwed over.
Yeah cause that jump allowed him to pass on pit road dummie?
NASCAR selects who to penalize and who not to. They can’t even uphold their own rules.
No hard line so how can there be a penalty?
@@stevecarey4740except for the literal line painted on the track
@@kylegustafson6088great point.
@@kylegustafson6088 so. And it literally not a hard line lol, what else you missing?
@@kylegustafson6088 if this is your only race, ok, if not, go back and look at GWC restarts, count how many look like they are starting early, every single one, except for the ones where the leader screwed up and spun the tires
Hamlin clearly jumped before the restart zone. It doesn’t take a genius to see it.
Exactly. Whoever said he didnt needs fired for favoritism
Now I know why they didn’t penalize Hamlin after the 2020 Talladega Fall race. Unreal.
I know that was Matty D’s race to win
That was the 2nd time he fucked Matty D into winning races
If he jumped the restart then why does Nascar not disqualify him?
I agree here, that NASCAR is not rigged but they do favor drivers and storylines.
I’m getting really tired of hearing Elton Sawyer stumbling over himself trying to explain and justify NASCAR’s bad calls.
Elton Sawyer is a joke!!!! He sucked as a driver and he sucks ad a technical director……
Should be last car on the lead lap NO WIN
No such thing as “his” truth – so sick of that. Something is true or not. Individuals do not have individual “truth.”
Either don’t admit he jumped it or penalize him doing this will just annihilate NASCAR’s credibility
And they still aren’t taking the win away? Massive asterisk.
NASCAR should do the restarts like other racing series do it. If the restart is jumped, repack and start them again.
The fact that NASCAR knew about the penalty, but said NOTHING is what frustrates me the most
I think, like NASCAR has done in the past, they should encumber the win
Wow! So that means Joey Logano could’ve won the race if Nascar just look at the restart.
I can’t believe this. NASCAR totally made the wrong call here. The rule is black and white, and if they’re going to allow Denny to do this, they have to expect other drivers to try this in the future. I mean, there were penalties throughout the prior week at circuit of the Americas, so this should be no different.
