Its only blurry because you need your eyes checked.

The background of this photo and the track isn't blurry? I used to be a semi-pro photographer. I know a blurry photo when I see it. This photo is full of motion blur.

Trying to figure out why you are taking this so hard. Were you rubbing one out when Hamlin was leading with 7 to go and the caution came out? Or just argue anytime a Hendrick car wins?

With about 20 or 30 to go, my kid asked me who I was pulling for in this race. I told him, "The 8 because I dislike him the least of those in contention." (and I used to hate Kyle Busch.) And I've actually bought Larson gear before when he drove the 42. I just can't pull for him now because of his boss. So coming to the conclusion that I have this opinion just because I don't like Larson is not accurate.

This was a rare time Nascar got it right. Chris should have left Larson pinned to the top (after he gave it to him). Could have rubbed him into wall coming to flag and won. He’ll learn. Everyone has races they lose and could have won, and learn from them. To be honest he should have let him have bottom vice top. But regardless it was close and no one really knew for half a lap and that was exciting. Nascar then announced and produced the evidence.

Again, for the 10th time, I'm not arguing if the results are right and wrong. I'm arguing that with the system they have in place, there is no credible way for the fans to know how, and when the final photo was taken and if it accurately represents the winner. There is no way for us as fans to verify who was first or second. If the painted line on the track has no relevance to the outcome of the race, then why is it there to begin with?

Lets rewind a few races. Imagine Nascar announcing after review that Hamlin jumped the start. That would have been the right call too but they never did. And had even more evidence. They gifted him that win. But last night, no gifts.

---

I didn't watch that race and have no opinion on it.

Imagine the outrage had they gifted Chris the win and pics come out showing Larson clearly ahead and winning. Nascar hates Larson, they took a plate race win from him before for going over yellow line. Even though it had no impact. They under penalized Bubba when he attacked Larson on live TV. They would love to have given this race to Chris.

Had they taken the photo milliseconds earlier, the 17 would have won. Again, angles of photos and timing of the photos matter. Especially when it was as close as it was last night. With the photo Nascar released, that they supposedly used to determine the outcome, we have none of that very important information to know if they are telling us the truth or not.
