I think JJ got a bit of a break there; did he slow down for the caution or something else?

 

[ICEYOU]

Whoa, BS, Johnson was clearly in 5th when the caution lights came on that replay and he gets the lead back?!

Done by the last timing line past under green prior to the caution.

Unfortunate for MWR there, all 3 cars involved and Mark Martin filling in for Denny.

So NASCAR can't simply pause the tape to see who is where on the track when the yellow actually comes out? Makes absolutely no sense!

Thats called a timing line.

~facepalm~

They could, but cautions would be twice as long as they would have to do it for every car.

Pahahaha. Darrell gives credit to Danica for avoiding Edwards' spin.

Though that was one hell of a save.

Left front on 11 not tight..

AFAIK, ICEYOU, NASCAR did - and saw who was in the lead when the lights went on.

 

[ICEYOU]

Damn, should have put Vickers in that car for this weekend.

Mark Martin being held a lap for pitting outside the box.

Lots of laps to go and plenty of cautions to come

 

[Suzumiya]

Kurt's down a tire..what a shame, he was running such a great race.

 

[Northstar]

Expect a "debris" caution if Danica manages to be the first car a lap down.

I believe the broadcaster now has to show the debris or the debris being picked up to prove legitimate debris cautions.

 

[Ganon83]

Very first thing I see coming in after doing yard work is Kenseth almost spinning out Joe

Conspiracies, Conspiracies.

Again - to be fair - she's doing a good job keeping up with the pack, responsible for some great saves, and not really giving anyone any trouble. Except maybe for the emasculated minority.

That was pretty stupid of Newman...

 

[ICEYOU]

5th for gordon!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Danica is having a great run today, is a top 10 too much to hope for?

 

[MustangRyan]

No, there could be a huge pile up to take out 10+ cars.

Go Jeff go! 2nd place and closing fast!

 

[ICEYOU]

Go Jeff go! 2nd place and closing fast!

And there it is folks. The untimely caution we needed in order to may have cost Gordon yet another win.

 

[photonrider]

Crunch time ahead.

Vickers comes out ahead in that one, after shoving Patrick into Junior.

 

[Ganon83]

2nd straight race every side by side was during caution.......

 

[photonrider]

ICEYOU - Are you sitting down?

 

[ICEYOU]

ICEYOU - Are you sitting down?

Yeah....

 

[Earth]

Go Danica! Pass Tony Stewart!

 

[photonrider]

Flames!!!!

 

[Shoe67]

Wow Kurt Busch on fire

 

[ICEYOU]

If Jeff wants to win this, he needs to move Jimmie out of the way.

 

[photonrider]

But will he and Clint tangle? I'm hoping they both keep their damn cool.
