Chase Stockton
 

Hit the nail on the head!"screwed over by a BS caution." Actually two of them.

The last one didn’t make a lot of sense...as the stopped car was off two and would have been encountered well after the checkered fell. The first one they had to throw since a car was driving backward into oncoming traffic...in one of the dumbest moves I’ve ever seen...

Yea, I'm sure USAC officials know the rules better than I do, but he pretty much got screwed. I don't think whatever caused the yellows (couldn't see it on Flo) affected the 3 cars in the lead. If it was up to me, Stockon would have been declared the winner first time around.
But its not up to me, rules are rules....:11:

Re: Chase Stockton
 

I get going back to the last scored lap. However didnt they just run a 32 lap race? why wasnt the green and white thrown
at the same time?

That is twice, Gas City and tonight....

It is gone over in the driver's meeting as it was tonight. The finish is going to be green, white, checkered...If yellow comes out on lap 29...same deal

The first caution was the right call. The second caution was dumb, should have been a yellow/checkered flag and the race should have been over.

I feel really bad for Stockon. He won the race IMO.

Re: Chase Stockton
 

Driving backwards into the leaders in the last turn of a race at Terre Haute is by far the dumbest thing I ever saw on any track. I saw somebody do it once at a drag strip, but that was a street car during practice night at Lucas Oil. This was a professional driver.

Re: Chase Stockton
 

So there were three lap 29 scored and any passes that occurred during those laps counted. So there were 32 green flag laps that counted. Almost makes sense.
