I think it is such a load of bull. All it eads to is bickering. NASCAR does not have the guts to inforce for every driver. If that was not jr. or Gordon I garentee that they would have been black flagged.
Oh, you mean like when Lil'E goes below the yellow and passes Kenseth and Johnson? He wasn't black flagged. The announcers got it right tho. It wouldn't have been a popular decision and that is what NASCAR has come to - a popularity contest.Originally posted by racerx11@Apr 6 2003, 03:49 PM

Come on Ferg. he was ALL the way down there and Kenseth even gave him room. Jeff just had his tires on the line and jr fans were crying.Originally posted by fergy1370@Apr 6 2003, 03:56 PM

No, the pass wasn't done. He was still "in the act of passing". In previous races they were told they should have held their position until they were able to move back above the yellow. And, that still doesn't explain away his passing Johnson, who was ahead of Kenseth. In other RP places the drivers were told they could not advance their position. It has always been enforced that way. It was changed today because 1) NASCAR is gutless, 2) it was Lil'E and 3) Teresa is needing help to keep DEI going.Originally posted by fergy1370@Apr 6 2003, 04:08 PM
Jr had the position on Kenseth. Before he even went to the line, they were door to door.
I admit, its a ridiculous rule. But the pass that Jr made was already done.
