What a "fantastic" end to the 500

[ride height]

I stayed home and wasted 3 hrs just to watch a yellow flag be thrown with a 1/2 lap to go. Im done. Maybe there WAS a good reason but good what a let down. Also i noticed a huge section of the front grandstands were blacked out. Is it that bad now where they dont even fill the front stands?

I stop watching nscarp 13 years ago

I think part of the new stands are not finished I don't know if that's what was blacked out or not. I wish it had stayed green but honestly with the way the top 3 were spaced apart I think Joey had it anyway. But, you never know. I see your point.

I agree, that wreck was on the backstretch, they could have let them finish!

I don't think they would have passed the 22 but for gods sake let them race for it. They could absolutely screw up a wet dream.

Nascar didn't have a problem letting the Busch guys race back to the line after them boys wrecked past the tri-oval last night.. But that is probably why they were quick with the yellow today.. All in all, thought it was a pretty good plate race..

Thank God For Dirt!!!

Amen there brother! My 2015 Speedweeks: 5 live events, 6 ppv....all dirt, no money to NASCRAP!

Shouldn't end a race under caution period. Throw the yellow and redo the green, white, checkered. What a waste of time.

I thought I heard them say they had 3 chances for a green, white, checker. If that's the case why did they wave the caution and checkered after the first attempt????

[drtrkr244]

The rule is....if the leader takes the white flag, the next flag ends the race, whether it is the yellow or checkered. It doesn't make sense to me either.

The Nascar drivers deserve just as much blame as Nascar does. If Indy car or alot of dirt races have a GWC restart, they drive with a little more common sense and respect for eachother. Never fails, at Daytona, Bristol or any other track, they beat the hell out of eachother for 10th place on a GWC restart. They didn't wreck all day, but gets down to the end and they turn their brains off.

[WisWildManFan]

3 chances if they wreck between green and white, 0 chances if white flys.

Funny thing is that just this week the fans voted the 1998 Daytona race the greatest of all time. They must have forgot that it ended under yellow as well. And last year's race ended under caution also, both wins by an Earnhardt which sounds about right because most of the time the Earnhardt fans only want to remember what benefits themselves.

No different than a lot or dirt tracks that have rules just like that, disappointing finish for what could've been an exciting finish.
