What rule change robbed Jackson?

The counting of caution laps then going to pit and not going down any laps PLUS the # 71 spinning your car out and your car going to back and the # 71 staying in his spot; race was BS !
I've never seen a race where laps are counted & you never go down any laps while in the pits ata ny track I've been to either here OR the USA

They did that in the APC300 last year, caution laps were counted but not scored

Maybe nascar should make a new rule that says where a yellow line exists there shall only be passing on the outside or they could also list the cars that are not allowed to be passed by certain other cars.

It's kinda a judgement call on that one.....and I'm still un-sure on what way I lean towards...lets just say were lucky this "yellow line" rule has not played into more finishes...this is the first I can remember.

I think Regan thought he was allowed to do that...beacuse it was last lap (imo that is a dumb rule...you race all day 1 way..you don't change it for the end) and he was saying "I thought it was better then turing into him and causing a big wreck....so does this mean if he knew he was not allowed he would have hit Tony? ....that could have made for one heck of a finished & post-race if he did.

Regan never relinquished his position back to 2nd, he continued to advance his position. while he was below the yellow line. That's the reason. If he pulled back behind Stewart and made another run and pass on the inside he would have run.
I'm not a Stewart fan but, rules are rules. As Gordon said on Wind Tunnel, you don't go below the line no matter what, even if it spins out the guy ahead of you. Specially on the last lap.

He was definitely forced below the line. As much as it pains me to say this, I have to agree with Jimmy Spencer on this one. He should have held his line and wrecked Tony, That's what Nascar is telling the drivers here.

If he would have spun Stewart for blocking and forcing him down. NASCAR would have penalized him as well. He was in a now win. The only option he had was follow behind stewart. Remember NASCAR said those that mess with chasers will be delt with. Nascar should take the 12 racers in the case and race them by themself.

Its just a stupid rule simple as that.

With restrictor plate racing, its all about blocking. If you can't block someone low, for fear of pushing them below the yellow you can't block at all...

Get rid of the stupid rule completely...

if it were the other way around i think stewart would have turned him....it was such an obvious blocking move regan should have held his line and sent tony to the infield....i don't think he would have been penalized...i like stewart but i would have turned him too that time...

Maybe they did "BUT" it's not a normal thing to do. you just have to know the circumstances involving this particular race at Kawartha & how they do things there & I'm not the only one who stands by this injustice done to LARRY JACKSON by Kawartha.

They do that all the time. At the APC300, when Kawartha use to do the late model "Summer Sizzler" and at Autumn Colours for the late models. They do it the US as well cause ACT does it too.

I have to agree with this as Smith passed below the yellow and was penalized and Stewart forced him down which should have been penalized for that as per NASCAR saying in the drivers meeting. So your winner should be Menard. Very simple but not with NASCAR it is not.

Did Tony force Regan below the yellow line? No.

Did Regan complete the pass below the yellow line? Yes

Who should get the win? Tony

Should Regan be put back in 18th? No

So therefore I rule with NASCAR and agree with the call.

Also, should it be legal on the last lap? Absolutely not as there's your inconsistancy
