there would of been no stopping that gang anyway that close to the finish line .

Glad you noticed that too. Could have went either way if they threw the caution. Too bad for Martin but I am a Harvik fan so it was a good day.

they went yellow for a piece of roll bar foam in one race, nascar uses the yellow to keep the field bunched up, example ,"debris on track".

Field is frozen and thats your restart position.

Why is the last lap any different . They will try more cheap watermelon then more than any other time.

Yellow should have been thrown at the time of the wreck, and field frozen.

As to who won at that time is moot.
My complaint is nascar enforces their rules when they feel like it.

Why, leaders were ahead of the wreck coming down the stretch. what a great way to ruing a great finish.

That wreck wasn't going to be instantly stopped because of a yellow flag. You seriously think any of them were watching for the a yellow flag and preparing to stop 200 yards from the finish line.

The whole things was caused because drivers being over agressive trying to get to the finish. yellow flag have only meant an extra 3 laps with all those cars out of the race anyways.

Sounds like Martain fans crying for their guy to win.

Bit more than 600 ft. Try again.

sorry wrong distance, still what makes you think the yellow is going to make all those cars magiclly not hit each other. Does the yellow flag hold powers i'm not aware of?

Bronk · « **Reply #39 on:** February 19, 2007, 03:09:08 PM »

Then why not race back to the line all the time?

Not my rule, it's nascars's.

Roscoroo · « **Reply #40 on:** February 19, 2007, 03:22:36 PM »

i believe its 1900 ft from turn 4 to the line .

as for the instant hold place on the yellow .. they are going to have to bring back the "race to the line" ... but for safety's sake they should half or 1/4er the track with something like Yellow line points ... especially on the huge super speedways .

They already have that with the scoring loops. I don't know the exact distance, but there are several at equal distances around the track. They put them in after the "no racing back" rule was implemented.

Bronk · « **Reply #42 on:** February 19, 2007, 03:27:25 PM »

As soon as yellow is thrown spotters tell em and they lift.
That in it self provides just a bit more safety.

With the leaders out front on the last lap that close to the finish let it go. During the race yes, but the last lap on the front stretch. If their on the back stretch thats one thing, but your talking about cleaning up the track lineing whats left back up and telling them they have three more laps.

I'm going to guess most those guys up front were running near empty and tires were going to be an issue. and how many of those guys with busted cars are gunna chance it so not to lose positions.

That flag wasn't going to stop that accident or reduce the size only affect the outcome depending on who passed the last scoring marker. Martin wasn't guarnteed the win if it came out, they seesawed the lead in turn four. Who ever passed the marker first is determined in the lead not your position when the flag comes out.

It was a matter of seconds from when the wreck started till they crossed then the flag came out. would only have affected the race not the wreck.

Either way NASCAR called it they were screwed because the other half would be complaing saying "let them race, it's the last lap" & "great job on ruining a great finish".

True. BUT, most of the complaints I have seen here and on the other boards has been NASCAR not being consistant in their calling a caution.
