My problem is exactly where is the camera aimed? In other words how accurate is it? Is it aimed at the front of the line? The back of the line? One, five or 10 feet before or after? We can't tell as viewers and fans.
Again, Pockrass said the cameras are on pit road aimed down the front edge of the start/finish line painted on the track. I lean toward that being true.

All we know is that there is some arbitrary and imaginary line than nascar picks as "the finish".
Exactly! Gluck said it last night, there technically doesn't have to be a line on the track. Like Churchill Downs, wherever NASCAR sets the cameras is the line.
So basically you have a problem with FOX and/or NASCAR not illustrating that camera line for us viewers. Okay fair, but last night's finish was unprecedented in Cup Series history, so it's hardly a huge issue to address.

Now, I'm not that Nascar is being dishonest. Not at all. What I'm saying is there is no way to independently verify their final "call", and to me, that's a problem.
Well, you asked how NASCAR can have any credibility on the last page.

So the competitor on the race tracks, or fan sitting in the stands or watching from home doesn't know where the finish line actually is. You don't see this as a problem? You don't see how this has the potential for manipulating the outcome? Last night, moving that line 6 or 8 inches either way could have made a difference in the race.

I'm not upset with Fox. My issue is with nascar and the transparency of the issue. And we've have two of these this season. I wouldn't say it's "unprecedented".

Just stop responding to him. He's clearly not stupid so he's just being intentionally dense to be a troll. It's not worth your time.
