For Christ sake Schwally, race monitor doesn't lie.
I was afraid they were going to play favorites there for a second. The only evidence of a “finish line” is provided through timing and scoring, and the Pierce’s transponder passed the line first. He won.
I blame Chastain.
BENGHAZI! EMAILS! PANT SUITS!
Sparks were flying last couple laps. Pierce still in a longhorn?
That was some darn good racing! Kind of unorganized, but the racing was outstanding.
Awesome race! Deer Creek is a place.
Maybe the most underrated track in the country. Even without the last lap pass, that race was FANtastic.
Great race from start to finish
Too bad they didn't show the viewers where the scoring loop was. From my seat it looked like Hud won but who knows where the scoring loop is.
Lucas oil race....im.suprised they didn't give it to the Lucas regular
Yeah since Mark makes the rules…. At least that’s what I’ve been told.
Actually, Hudson's transponder said "P1", DennisErbFan
If you do the math of the transponder output, and accept the transponder locations as equal, the math from the difference in lap 74 and 75 says Pierce by .001, but the transponder output of position had Hudson P1
The actual finish line should be official anyway, like it is at Eldora. The transponder is just a scoring aid.
If the flag stand is the finish line , clearly the 1 car had a nose out front. That’s not my opinion…that’s pure facts, and I’m not even a fan of the 1 car, nor am I against the 32 car.
You are 100% correct ride height. I'm not sure if or when we quit using the finish line to determine races.
It's pretty obvious that some are just a little biased. Do you really think Flo sets their camera's perfectly perpendicular to the start finish line? The camera view everyone watched on Flo is not guaranteed perfect. Sure it looked like Hud won. I thought he won. Went straight to race monitor. Pierce by .002 seconds.
Why anyone would think live timing is not the accurate way to determine the winner is by me.
And by the way, I'm pullin for Huddy to win it. Not Pierce. But again, I try not to let favoritism sway my opinion like some do.
Going by your logic on the transponders…which I agree in a perfect world it’s hard to argue with a computer on timing….the transponders would have to be placed EXACTLY in the same place on every car. Which I’m sure it’s not. So…it’s.the transponders that win…not the actual car. I personally don’t care which car wins….but I do care if someone gets cheated by a computer or it’s sensor placement. Both of these kids are hard racing drivers. Let’s let the car thats nose actually hits the finish line first be the winner, (i.e…a horse race) not a device that’s not even on the very front of the car.
