Great job Mr Ed ( Carl Edwards)

At yesterday's Drivers Meeting, NASCAR reiterated the rule about passing under the yellow line and provided the same information to all drivers and crew chiefs in a hand out, as we've done in past Daytona and Talladega races. The verbatim language is:

"This is your warning: race above the yellow line. If, in NASCAR'S judgment, you go below the yellow line to improve your position, you will be black-flagged. If in NASCAR's judgment you force someone below the yellow line (in an effort to stop him from passing you), you may be black-flagged."

Helton went on to say that Regan was not forced below the line, he went below it on his own. What race was he watching? I just watched it again on youtube and paid particular attention to when Smith went below the line, and it clearly was when Tony came down on him when he had the RF bumper on his car alongside Tony's LR bumper. Tony even admitted after the race he blocked the line to keep Smith from passing him for the win. I don't see how Nascar can be any more biased in their ruling, they didn't black flag Stewart for deliberately cuttting Smith off and forcing him below the yellow line, and they penalize Smith for passing Tony below the line.

I agree about consistency. The only thing Nascar is ever consistent on with these rulings is favoring the stars.
 
Tony blocked the line like anyone would do, but he did not force Regan to pass him below the yellow line. Regan barely had his bumper next to Tony and in my book that does not constitute as "having the line".
 
bottom line is Smith went outside first, Tony moved up. Smith then went low and got the same treatment. Should have wrecked the fat crybaby and he would have been the big hero instead of Mr Jelly Belly. Not really, that ain't racing and if that is the product the Nascar gods wish to "PRODUCE" ,then just don't buy it.
 
Just like little e said after he got out of infieild care center~~~
some guys know how to do it right and there are idiots that cant... Even of jack r was pissed...... I still think smith should have won he was forced down... If little e wasnt caught up in carls dum **** he would have won .
