Just the fact that there was no chance to even try to argue it, as there have been other races where they penalized someone then admitted their fuckup.

Ratcliff fucked up by not bringing him in with the cross flag though.

Halfway and no caution. Is this real life?

Especially when NASCAR isn't trying to rush to get to halfway to beat weather. Maybe they're hoping that we'll whine/ask for cautions to implement caution clock here.

For nascar, cautions = excitement, so they'll use this as an example of how the low downforce package doesn't work and they need to get rid of it

Part of me actually thinks that is what's happening. They will use this to justify fabricated excitement.

Last year's race had 5 debris cautions and a competition caution. What has changed other than a package that NASCAR doesn't really want?

I'd like to say it's because they heard enough of fans bitching about "debris" cautions, but I just don't think that's it.

The naive side of me is hoping that nascar have quietly accepted that they were wrong and it's all going to be low downforce REEL RACIN' and no duhbree cawshuns from now on. We can hope right?

He was running in the back anyways and then got a commitment cone violation. Thought he would be further up front.

That's why they brought in the caution clock in for Trucks. So they could get away with fake cautions.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.
