Have you ever watched other sports? Nba has to go to NY for a review or to see if clock beat at end. Nfl has to go to replay to see if first down or ball caught. Baseball has to review if someone made base before tag.

I mainly just watch college football. Up until this year I caught about 75% of all nascar races. This year I've watched part of Daytona, part of Phenix and the end of last nights race (we turned it on just after that start of stage 3). I don't watch the NBA (but I went to a jazz game this year) or the NFL except for the Superbowl.

Nascar has the same thing. During a last lap caution they use the timing lines and visual. For a close race they use technology. Its not new tech its been used in many sports.

This is directly to my point.

Instead of waiting 5 minutes like other sports they knew within 30 seconds.

I won't dispute the speed of the decision other than it was changed from what was on the scoring pylon at the end of the race. That's not my issue.

For someone who says they never watched (liar) and doesn’t dispute the finish (liar) you’ve have a massive and utter meltdown over this. Your hated team won and you don’t like it.

Who says I'm having a meltdown. I'm simply presenting facts on why I personally think that there are some major issues with the technology. I keep asking the question and NOBODY has given the answer. How do you KNOW where the finish line actually is with Nascar's fancy camera? We know where they SAY it is, but how can we KNOW that where it really is? Answer that question with certainty and I'll shut up.

If this is true, other than my initial post or two show me where I've said that the 17 should have won. I've said we can't conclusively determine a winner because we don't know where the magic camera is aimed, but that's not the same thing as saying one car or the other SHOULD have won. I'm sorry if you don't have enough brain power to distinguish between the two.

Many posters here have replied and explained. Yet you have more posts than anyone melting about it.

Again, trying to get a straight answer out of folks isn't melting. It's forcing you knuckle heads to use your heads for something besides a hat rack. So far you've all been unsuccessful. You've all parroted back what nascar has said, but that doesn't answer the question I've asked over and over. You can't answer it, because there is no answer. We don't know where on the track nascar aims the camera and if we don't know that we don't TRULY know who the winner is and at what spot.

As for the rest of it. Think what you want. I could write war and Peace on here and it won't change your opinion. This is likely my last season as a nascar fan. I'll occasionally watch a race when I have time, but from the few races I've seen this year, the appeal just isn't there for me anymore. I've been watching since the 1970's, kind of sad for me to think this is the end. On the plus side, I get Sunday's back with my family...
