anyone else thank nascar waved the caution way to soon and stealing the win from jr because he was gaining on stewart and in most cases they hold the flag when its the last lap ... or hold it a little longer than they did ...... just my opinon ...

Nascar really needs to change the rule, Danica and Aric were not in the racing boundries

 

[Danicafan]

It was the final lap and they did crash in the back of the field, well out of the other cars path so the yellow was probably thrown prematurely especially since its a huge track like Daytona. But that is typical NASCAR, they love their yellow flags, especially the "phantom" debris flags...lol

Would Dale Jr. have caught Tony, we never will know now.

Oh god, the Jr. conspiracy theorists.

^^^^^ What he said ^^^^^

 

[Danicafan]

Oh god, the Jr. conspiracy theorists.

I like Dale Jr but not a big Jr. fan nor am I a conspiracist but I do know that NASCAR loves to throw those yellow flags. That fact cant be denied.

If Danica hadn't crashed as hard as she did I think Nascar would have held the flag. But that was a huge hit and whenever anyone wrecks that hard you throw the yellow instantly.

Stealing a win from Jr? Jr. is like the NASCAR mascot. If they were going to help anyone win it would be Jr. In this case they would have never thrown the yellow and let Jr catch up. Just my opinion.

 

[T-Bone]

It was just good to see SMOKE win :yes:

 

[Newbie]

I see NO reason that NASCAR would purposely try to keep Jr from winning. That's nuts to think that they would. I agree that in most cases they try not to end a race under the yellow flag but due to the severity of the crash, they probably felt it was best to take care of that situation immediately. It pained me to watch Jr come soo close, but it happens. =(

Oh make no mistake I was screaming at the top of my lungs for the first win in a long time, and make no mistake he would have caught and made the pass, but it was such a hard hit, I think there was mucho concern at that time, and especially with all the publicity put on her. Got to give kudos to her for jumping right back in it and taking the Nationwide pole...
