Interesting article here... Looks to me as though JJ made an illegal pass below the yellow line but heaven forbid that NA$CAR would do anything since JJ's the "Golden Boy" of NA$CAR...
Interesting quote from the article:
The problem here isn't NASCAR's ruling. Once again, it's NASCAR's unwillingness to be completely transparent about the rule. Therefore, its interpretations of moves on the track leave questions open from many and allow for situations like Sunday's to crop up.
Two things would go a long ways to fixing this. First, a written rulebook — or at least the in-race rules sections of the rulebook — should be available to fans. Second, if there's any thought of discrepancy over the finish of a race, a high-ranking NASCAR official should be interviewed in the post-race broadcast to set the record straight.
Right or wrong, at least fans would have an idea what NASCAR was thinking.
