Best comment. And I agree with Eric that if they had done a different call on the last two we would have had others running out of gas and people would be pissed. Lose lose for NASCAR.

they could just simply pain those parts of the outside line yellow, reminding the drivers dont cross out passed this point with any part of the car. Just like the yellow line at Daytona

this goes back to nascar having different officials in cup vs the xfinity series. If that were cup officals seeing that xfinity wreck with Daniel Dye and AA then they might of reacted quicker.

now lets hope the roval goes next! That RC is worse than the indy one.

The other consistency is fans whining no matter what happens.

EXACTLY. The others didn’t understand it, they just found out when Elliot got hammered. That is not the way rules should be promulgated.

Their instructions were ambiguous, and didn’t match the officiating precedent of the previous Brickyard oval races.

Good catch.

Yeah, that’s exactly what Elton Sawyer said in the quote that Eric read.

Complete with rules controversies to keep it spicy until people are done with mostly third-tier sports they only watch every four years.
