Never, you guys can do this stupid conspiracy sheet all night . 24 took the white and was ahead when the TOWER called the caution. That light doesnt mean a damn thing

They just need to add a carve out that says that when the wreck starts before the white flag is taken, we go to a GWC.
If they're going to review video to determine finishing order, then first use it to determine if they're actually finished.

I haven't seen a good enough angle to know whether there's actually an argument for Bowman, but that's not the rule as I understand it. If they take white and they make it to the backstretch and a yellow comes out, the leader on the backstretch wins, not the one who took the white. Much closer case here of course but still the same principle.

Show me the light? That one on top is something of Fox, watch the video FL shared

Sorry I know the rules better than you
I really can’t fault the guy for trying to shoot the gap with that much energy. He had so much momentum, Byron threw a slight block, and at that point you can’t lift without getting assblasted by everyone else.
These cars have more power and more drag than plate cars have traditionally had so the runs are so much bigger.
As I understand the rule, it explicitly says flag and says nothing about the tower or race control. I could well be mistaken again.

I couldn't be happier for HMS getting Chevy a 1-2 finish at the 2024 Daytona 500. I was definitely pulling for the 48 team, but this will work too.

Well you are looking at a switch being thrown and not timing and scoring. Maybe you can start another thread and I can bitch about it

That’s a judgement call.
Probably didn’t hit the button quick enough. Lol.

Is that yellow light in the top corner not there while no crashing is going on?

Even Bowman said he thought Byron won. End of story. I would have preferred Alex, but I'm not going to complain.

This is a point I made when NASCAR banned the Hail Melon. Do we really want to give NASCAR MORE judgment calls? Their officiating is already generally piss poor.

That was pretty cool seeing Bowman drive up beside Byron after the race was over and congratulate him for his win. Bowman is one classy dude.

In the end, NASCAR does get final say. Doesn’t mean it’s the right call, and doesn’t mean I have to agree with it.
The leader got the white flag. Race ends under caution.

Its a black Helicopter so a Hendrick car could win....no wait hahahahahahaha just stop, you need some rest
Thanks! This confirms my perception that the wrecking did indeed start before the leader reached the line.

That’s not what I’m arguing. I’m saying that when the yellow flew. Bowman was ahead imo.
That screenshot you shared, with that tiny yellow light in the top corner. Here it is there, before any crash

No the RULE gets the final say, just because you don't understand it doesnt make you right
And the track is still green. No yellow until after the 24 crosses the line.
If you knew the rule it would be different.That’s not what I’m arguing. I’m saying that when the yellow flew. Bowman was ahead imo.

The rule doesn't make the decision when to call the caution.

Yes or no. Is that yellow light you mentioned in your little screenshot at the top right corner before they wreck in the one I shared? Yes or no?If you knew the rule it would be different.

Not only that there are no other yellow lights on in his screenshot
Yeah wrecking in the back also. They took the white. Leader is who wins the race if the last lap is under caution. That was right after the finish line but anywhere on the last lap the winner is who is out front when the caution is thrown.

Thing is, they made the right call. Race control Make's the call, and the thing is we havent seen the 48 standing on his head bitching about the call saying he got robbed. You now why, he understands the rule

Yeah and the caution was thrown halfway to turn one, not at the line.
