get top 15 finishes when there were 26 cars on the lead lap ????

is it because of the freeze the field caution ??

if so then if the leader wrecks on the last lap and hasn't been passed before the caution then he'd be the winner right , that don't sound right to me

Once, I quit trying to figure out the Nascar systems along time ago. It will just give you a headache.

I think Nascar has changed a couple times where they finished. My original leaderboard at the time of the accident had Junior 9th and JJ 10th, now Nascar has them 23rd and 24th respectively.

Wow! That's a question I wish I had thought of!

Honestly, since we're dealing with NA$CAR, I would imagine it depends on who the leader is. Or, more accurately, who the car's owner is and who is the sponsor.

When it comes to NA$CAR, EVERYTHING seems to be subjective.

Isn't that what the green/white/checkered flag rule is all about ??

NASCAR has basically messed up their points system. They need to allow racing back to the line. Racing back to the line did not cause Dale Earnhardt's tragic accident. But I do understand why NASCAR mandates that rule. But yeah, NASCAR's system is hard to figure out.

I agree, in which case Kahne would have won Talledega.

Well, we won't know for sure, but yes, it is most likely Kasey Kahne would have won if racing back to the line was allowed.

I concur with you Nevada.

The reason I say that is because I listened to the replayed race on XM today. The announcers went crazy after the wreck, and declared Kahne the winner as he crossed the line first. A couple minutes later, they said Nascar gave it to Vickers because Kahne had not yet passed Vickers when the yellow came out while the were in turn 3.

Dupont my friend, if you are refering to my new signature, it is my response for Mike24s sig. He laughed about it......you should too. Dont take all this stuff so damn seriously.
As far as my not liking Jeff, it goes back to the time when he was beating my favorite driver, Dale Earnhardt in the mid-late 90s. That was hard to swallow because Ray always put him in a car that was far superior to the veterans out there. Can you say Silver Platter? It just escalated from there, like it did with thousands (millions?) of other fans like me. I have never taken anything away from his ablity. I just never cared for his personality, on and off the track. I'm sure you could dig deep in the archieves for a more in-depth answer, but that pretty much sums it up.

As far as favorite drivers, I try not to focus on one, because its too frustrating. I like racing......not just one driver, at least after DE's death. My current favs are Jr., Kahne, Kenseth, Hamlin, Sterling, Blaney, Boyer and a couple others I listed in another thread. Tony is also a favorite, but he keeps doing stupid things, so I'm up in the air with him. I also root for the underdog. It's easy to cheer for a winner, but its more satisfying when an underdog wins against all odds. Go Gililand!!!
