NASCAR, in effect, agreed. Jim Hunter, vice president for communications for the sanctioning body, said tapes of the pass were reviewed by officials in the scoring tower and their call was that Earnhardt Jr. was already past Kenseth's car when Earnhardt Jr. crossed the line.
"He did not go below yellow line to improve his position," Hunter said. "As we say in the drivers' meetings, it's a judgment call, and we made a judgment he had already improved his position by the time he got to the yellow line."
