For those who are not so good at geometry, Dave made a right turn and did a 180 to get into the pits. As if that matters.

While it may not be right, that is basically the precedent. No one would have been penalized for doing the very same thing because it is accepted practice. Darland even had to negotiate cars still moving on the front stretch, so it's not as if everyone stopped immediately and he kept going. And the ruling simply put him to the tail for the restart, since he visited the work area under red.

I sure wish Mr. Scott would lose this hard-on for Dave Darland. He's obviously not going to be happy until Double D is banished from racing...
