Also, I just wanted to clear up my unusually long rambling post. It narrows down to the fact that the 2 cars battling for the lead had a clear view of the start finish line and a clear track ahead. I am certain that played into the Race Director's decision.
I shared an office when I worked for ASA with the current Director of Tech in the Busch Series. I am going to fire him an email and see if he can send any info that may enlighten us as to what happened in the tower. Crap its Thursday, so he is probably on the road, oh well lets see if he responds.

But for me it comes down to a rule is a rule. Nascar is so strict with it's enforcement of rules violations, that it's unfathomable to me that Nascar can bend them when they want. Look at things like cars being 1/4 of an inch to low or goinng down pit row at 57 miles per hour, are infractions that are treated with stiff penalties. So for them to bend the rule in the super bowl of racing leaves a real bad taste in my mouth. Would the yellow have come out if this was the Food City 500?
