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?
No, because as stated, the cameras are lined up at the front edge of the painted start/finish line, so it's reasonable to deduce where it is.

You don't see how this has the potential for manipulating the outcome?
Not seriously, no. Again, they use two cameras, and it takes around an hour to set them up each weekend. It seems like a ridiculous stretch to believe they'd actually be able to manipulate an outcome seconds after a race. I highly doubt many fans are concerned about it happening either.
The cameras are also used to determine the leader after every lap, so even if a camera was accidentally askew 6 to 8 inches, that would be identified earlier in the weekend.

And we've have two of these this season. I wouldn't say it's "unprecedented".
A 0.001 finish is unprecedented. Hence, "closest finish ever" all over the media since yesterday.

That's what is STATED. How do we know they are telling the truth? This is the root of my issue. There is no way to hold nascar accountable with the statement under the current setup.

I'm not saying anything is being done intentionally, but with TWO cameras couldn't you aim them in two spots and pick the result you wanted? With no independent, outside verification on where they are aimed how would we know based on the type of image(s) the camera produces?
