NASCAR explanation does not go down well after controversy at Daytona

NASCAR provided a proof after a controversial end to the second Duel at Daytona forward of Sunday’s Daytona 500.

Legacy Motor Membership driver Erik Jones, who lately opened as much as Specific U.S. Sports activities about his massive ambitions this season, believed he had received the second Duel after crossing the end line first.

However there was carnage behind him as a number of automobiles crashed on the run to the road on the finish of the sixtieth and last lap.

Because of this, NASCAR officers immediately threw the warning flag because the crash occurred regardless of the automobiles being simply yards from the end line.

It meant that the end result was declared based mostly on the positions when the yellow flag got here out and Austin Cindric was declared the winner forward of Jones.

One other added: “Yeah perhaps simply don’t press the warning button when they’re that near the road subsequent time. When will you guys get it collectively?”.

“Can they only as soon as admit they tousled,” one person wrote, with a reply studying: “After all not. NASCAR’s by no means incorrect. Simply ask them”.

Others shared images of previous finishes the place a warning was not thrown regardless of automobiles scattering round behind the leaders.

One other wrote: “Undecided I get the argument that throwing the warning there stops drivers from driving by means of one another. If it’s WAY earlier than the road then positive, but when they’re 100 ft away, ain’t no one lifting. I imply Cindric didn’t even know the warning had come out.”

One fan stated: “They will’t decelerate within the blink of a watch. By the point they hit the button the worst of it’s over. Typically I ponder if these officers have ever watched a race earlier than,” and one other replied: “That is my argument. There’s no manner they might course of the crash of their brains and resolve they had been unhealthy hits earlier than they crossed the road. That is simply unhealthy officiating.”

An additional remark stated: “Lame excuse by the point they might even take into consideration the hits the race was over. This was simply over officiating. They’re 100’ away let it end.”

Some expressed concern over the precedent for Sunday’s race, writing: “They need to not make that call on Sunday lol. In the event that they’re within the dogleg, they need to allow them to go to the road.”
