Jeff Gordon just said on wind tunnel, that if Regan was more experienced he would have stopped turning down when he got to the line, and if Tony hit him and spun himself it'd be his own fault. I absolutely agree.

NASCAR GAVE TONY THE WIN BECAUSE THAT GUY FROM 3 DOORS DOWN DID THE ANTHEM AND TONE E. WAS IN A VIDEO FOR THEM AND THEY'RE DALE JR'S FAVORITE BAND AND TONE E IS DALE JR'S FAVORITE DRAFTING PARTNER SO NASCAR WAS LIKE HAY LETS GIVE TONY THE RACE FUCK YOU REGAN SMITH...HMMMMMMMMMM

Dear NASCAR and to whom it concerns,

I am confused about your rules and rulings more now than ever before. In SPEED channel's broadcast of the truck series race Saturday October 4, 2008 the announcers said that anything goes on the last lap concerning the yellow line. In ESPN's broad cast of the cup series race on Sunday October 5, 2008 the announcers also said the same thing. There is even a quote from one of your officials in the Feburary 24, 2007 edition of the Augusta Chronicle citing the same thing.

"Drivers throughout the Craftsman Truck Series garage were still talking about last week's [Feb 2007] three-wide finish at Daytona International Speedway. While they admitted the finish was good for television, most wondered why NASCAR allowed Johnny Benson to drive below the yellow line - Daytona's out of bounds line - to jump from third to second in the final 200 yards. Benson wasn't penalized because "if you can see the checkered flag on the last lap, anything goes," according to NASCAR spokesman Owen Kearns."

Now I ask why is it that its okay for this to happen in one instance and is perfectly legal and during October 5, 2008's running of the AMP Energy 500 it was not when Regan Smith was clearly forced below the yellow line by Tony Stewart coming to the checkers. I do not understand how an organization as huge, well financed, and powerful as NASCAR can run a sport inconsistantly and have foggy rules. I was appalled at your decsion to declare Tony Stewart the winner and then classify Regan Smith in 18th position. I understand if the results are finalized and can't be changed but, please in the future clarify what "anything goes on the last lap" means.

I am very upset about this and it might have weighed in my decsion weither i go to the race in Atlanta in three weeks time. It sure does cost a bundle to go to the races and why do I want to spend money on an organization that can't clarify rules and makes inconsistant calls. I do however hope whoever takes a few seconds out of their time and reads my e-mail and maybe some thing's can become clear soon.

Disappointed race fan,
Edwin James

I'm with cArmAkAze above pretty much. I skipped almost the entire season of NASCAR this year, with exception of Daytona/Talladega/All-Star and maybe a random race here and there. I really miss the way Nascar was pre-2000 and have a hard time tolerating it now.

So I'll probably be the same way for the coming seasons, tuning in for my favorite venues and ignoring anything else.

Emailing a championship organization to say you're annoyed with them - that's even further ahead in the scale of uselessness than online petitions.

I just want to say that my heart broke when I watched the 99 plow into the 28. I had been banking on that car all day. I will say this... the run Kvapil had today gave me hope for next year. I figure things can only get better.

The race was very entertaining. I thought the racing was great, and the drama was intense. The ending was awesome, but I wish I had turned off the TV a little sooner. That shot of the 01 team celebrating could have been the last thing I saw.

Congrats Regan Smith! Win or lose, you were the only one to make a difference in the final laps.
