When Jimmie Johnson "thought" he ran out of gas he stopped on the race track. Why did he not have to go to the tail for not maintaining pace car speed?

Jimmie who?

Thought this was Indiana OPEN wheel... Not napcar!

Thought I might get a few intelligent people to respond? At the moment I'm still waiting.

I don't think it's a penalty you just don't get position back.... and at the time I believe there were just a few on the lead lap. That's what I took from it anyway

Didn't see it but they probably just changed a rule real quick, since they change rules weekly in that series. Did hear it took them 30 laps just to figure out who was and was not on the lead lap though.

I think a lawyer should be assigned to each car to avoid this situation!

Dewey, Cheatem & Howe the Official Law firm of NASCAR.

Quickly takes on an air of ********, doesn't it? Just sayin! Bob

I thought Doolittle & Seymour might handle it.

Because it is NASCAR. Rules changes every lap or so depending on who they will benefit.
