Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski were penalized for going on the racing surface in the middle of turns 1 and 2 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Why did Ty Dillon not receive a penalty when he went above the same line, and were there any other surprises from the results in Sunday’s (July 21) Brickyard 400?
Frontstretch‘s Jared Haas answers this week’s questions on NASCAR Mailbox on Frontstretch‘s YouTube channel.
Nascar…..consistently inconsistent.
I didn’t know ty Dillon was in the race.
The real question is; Why?
Maybe Gramps buys a ride for him? Again?
Technically if the 6 car was penalized as his left tires did not cross the outside white line unlike the 9 car, then the 5 car right behind the 9 should been penalized too. His rights were over the outside line but not the lefts.
BTW, did a 1st grader write the email for this “rule”?
How hard is it to be clear when there are solid non moving lines for reference.
“Rule for pit exit” Drivers must re-enter the race off of turn 2 using the acceleration lane off of pit road below the turn 1 grass, through the short chute and through turn 2.
Drivers must remain fully below the outside line that separates the acceleration lanes from the race track itself.
Boom done zero confusion for anyone.
