Did Nascar make a bad call?

[Dwayne]

Was Nascar going against there own rules not throwing the caution flag in the last lap in the Daytona 500?

I just wanna had to the fact that mickie just stated on speed that NASCAR CALLED IT WRONGFUL and made a good point now all the young guy comin in to racin this year will think just floor it when the yellow happens in the last lap and he has ben racin for many years so how are most the ones sayin it is a good call goin to go against someone who has been around longer in racin then you are old lol well most

I have heard a few people say they thought it was ok. But from the dan patrick radio show the packman radio show espn nascar now and now everyone on speed have all said it was not handled by the rules or the procedure that has been used in the past. Thats all I have been saying I dont care who won or who lost its just another black eye for nascar. Now all these people will be tuned in for next week and they go to one of the most boring tracks on the ciruit, So when all these peeps fall asleep just like I will do next sunday I bet most will not ever tune back in again

I dont think it was a bad call........just an inconsistant one........I think they should always race back on the last lap no matter what.

I agree with racing back. but the way the rules are wrote right now it was a very bad call

[thirtythree]

an inconsistant one, Martin should have won

[SprayLude]

I say race back to the line if they are crashing on the front straighton the last lap!! throwing the caution would have done nothing ... Now if it was at a shorter track and there were people laging behind then yes throw the caution !! neither Martin or Harvick lifted off the gas so I say it ended like it should have!

well would you have wanted it to end under caution or watch them drag race door to door to the finish? which would be more exciting? thats an easy one.

Its not about which is better. Thats a no brainer dummy LOL. its all about following your own rules, esp after all week you were crackig every teams head that didnt follow yours. And it the most important time to suck it up and grab your cohonas and make a conversal call, by the book, you choked and couldnt take the heat. On a much smaller level this what I do everyday and let me tell ya if you always go by the book, people will not always like your decisions, but they will respect you cause deep down they know you are right. You get no respect for making the wrong call, just because its the popular one. Its all about the rules, not good ending or who won or who didnt.
