I understand, but I have been a lapped driver and also lapped many drivers during my career as a driver. Mattox should know that if the decision was made (Cummins tells him to go low) that Mattox starts out lower than normal coming out of 4 on the restart and is only midway up the track going down the straightaway and then runs the infield tires all the way through 1 and 2 and run lower down the back straight. Mattox had no possibly way of improving his postition at this time so respect should have been given to allow the much faster guys a clear chance. Where mattox was running on the track before and when he was lapped by KTjr and Stockon were clear and clean passes then again, moving up into the fast lane while getting the lay-over flag over and over. We both have seen and can imaging if it were Jack Hewitt that was crashed out rather than Cummins.
