Austin Anderson he advanced his position below the double yellow line. you’re only allowed to go below the lines (for this race) if you’ve been forced down there. however, it’s pretty clear that Hamlin was NOT forced below, meaning he won by breaking the rules. it’s just frustrating that it seems like rules only apply to certain drivers.
@@mrhrggins he couldn't get back on until he got to the straight away because had he gone back up in the corner, the banking difference between the racing surface and the apron there would have upset his car, potentially causing him to wreck or at least slow his car down a ton to where he wouldn't be able to race for the win. And what's a driver's job? Race for the win.
Murph Muffin The drivers job is also to follow the rules. If he had to slow his car down then that’s his fault because he was on the apron. He tried to shoot a gap that wasn’t there and he continue to pass Cosmo W line. I’ve seen race car drivers penalized for less obvious in fractions when it comes to the double yellow line rule.
Xfinity it wouldn't have made a difference. But when they crash on the last lap if nascar doesnt get the ok from the drivers involved they will throw it even if it's just a few feet from the line. Safety is more important. Or, if the crash looks like it's bad like in the xfinity race, they will throw it. It sucks, yes. But the drivers safety and response team us far more important than us seeing a good finish.
I do not agree with the ruling for the 11. At no point was he SIGNIFICANTLY forced below, he BARELY had his bumper to the 17 when he was "forced" below. That should not be deemed reasonable. Denny just stole yet another race win from Matt, and this time it should have been revoked. Matty B wins in my book
I think Hamlin was forced down to a point where he had to go on the apron. However, I think Hamlin should be disqualified because he did not make an attempt to go back on track. I think Erik Jones should have won.
Agreed don't think Denny should of won the race either. To me in my POV it looked like Denny just choose to drove below the double yellow line. Whether Matt D or Erik Jones should of won. I just don't agree with the call Nascar made on this.
@@tylermartin6998 If your mad be mad at Nascar not Denny Hamlin. There shouldn't even be a yellow line rule. Blame Nascar for overreacting in 2001 in feeling like grown men cant govern themselves on the race track. Until the yellow line rule goes we will keep talking about Daytona Talladega controversies regarding the yellow line instead of talking about the race winner. Until Nascar lets these men race like men these controversies will only continue to get worse. It is NASCARS fault and place blame not on these drivers who are being treated like a bunch of children that need to listen to big brother. Sickening
Definitely. Matty D has clearly shown that he can run with the league's best right up there in the front. I mean since last year I have been watching how he has DRASTICALLY improve his performance since he signed with the Wood Brothers. Also, he has a really clean and respectful racing style. He knows when he needs to be aggresive in defending his position and when to just let the others go.
@@foebwildn3757 I think it would be best for his career to drop down to a top xFinity or Truck series ride, just like what John Hunter Nemechek did this year, just because there aren’t really any good Cup rides available at the moment. DiBenedetto does have 3 top 5s and 7 top 10s, with an average finish of 16.9. Though I think they’d be better if his current crew chief had been with him all year
Not much respect in this race, And the 11 the winner, what a joke, He clearly advanced his on track position and got a run on the 2 leaders by being OFF the LEGAL track surface. 21 your win in my mind. Top run Matty D
Istg why everyone mad at 11. It’s not his fault the call went his way. All of y’all’s complaints aren’t gonna change it. You can keep saying who you think the winner is in your mind, but it still doesn’t count as a win.
@@andrewbostian2328 exactly, he was trying not to wreck and keep himself in a position to win the race, idk about anyone else, but isn't that a driver's job?
It allowed him to cut the corner off and lose less speed than Matty D or Willy B. I felt bad for the 24 as he had the thing won if he had not gotten below the line honestly.
Hamlin was not forced under that line. He went for it and after Buescher gave him room, he continued to stay on the apron. Matt D. should have won this race. This is stupid...
are you stupid the 11 was clearly pushed under the yellow line if he wouldn’t have gina below the yellow he wouldn’t made contact with the 17 car. i swear i lost so many brain reading this comment.
@@garrettbourne7708 I lost brain cells seeing your comment. The 17 was also penalized for pushing the 11 below the yellow even though the 20 clearly pushed the 17 into him. Also, Denny could have backed off of the 17 instead of going down. Denny was NOT under the 17 before he goes to the yellow line. He advanced his position on the 20 and 17 by using the apron, which by NASCAR rules, is a penalty, but NASCAR decided that Denny won the race. I bet NASCAR didn't even bother to look because they THOUGHT he was forced. Also, he STAYED below the yellow line after the 17 gave him room. Don't argue my judgement. The 11 should have been penalized. It is your opinion on who wins after that.
2 things I literally can't fathom 1 - how you think ur audience is dumb enough to just accept that you stuck an ad for your mobile app literally in the video, like just spearheaded in there 2 - how NASCAR can give that win to Hamlin after that move, he was barely forced at all. I know it's different on ovals but usually you would say the car behind has to back off in a situation like that, not just take liberties with the track and turn it into an advantage
Back off when the two cars he passed were literally wrecking each other? Ok totally gonna let two bafoons crash but I'll let them finish ahead of me and not do what I'm supposed to do. God everyone on here is frickin 🤡
NASCAR added cheers when there were tons of boo's I just left there. Absolutely insane what they did. I upload videos later this week with all the times that the crowd actually were booing whenever the TV made it sound like we were cheering
Matt should be the winner today Hamlin obviously stayed on the apron all the way around the corner instead of getting back on the track which gave him an extra short way around and nascar let’s him do it giving him Matt’s win. Bunch of BS
Amazing race, never got boring. Cody Ware, Timmy Hill, Quin Houff, Brennan Poole in the top 10, Kyle Busch with an open wheel car, Kurt Busch with a flight, a controversial finish. That was beautiful.
he was back on the track when he made the pass for the lead you cant pass below the yellow line which he was forced to pass then it was wreck avoidance then it was, get the car straight and go. the only cars he passed below were the 17 who forced him down there and the 20 who was outside the 17 yes maybe he could have come right back up and potentially wrecked the rest of the field but he got his car under control without passing anyone else and continued onto the track where there was less banking to get the car sideways and passed the top 2
Because he was on the apron in the corner, that jump in banking would have slowed his car down or possibly made him spin out, he waited til they got to the front stretch where the banking is the same and he could safely move back onto the racing surface
He didn't pass anyone and was kinda forced down there, but I see what you're saying. MattyD was ALSO penalized for pushing Byron below the line. Complete bull. Nobody should've been penalized.
they don’t penalize Hamlin for going below the yellow line but they penalize Elliott going below the line to pass. You can see at 12:34 Elliott had no room to go but they said the same about Hamlin which is true he had no where to go but still why was Elliott penalized?
Wtf I like NBC better because they can cover flips and crashes better, fox just said "oh big spin chase elliott and everybody scatters" jk fox is better but I like nbc
Mertesacker Hamlin was forced below the yellow line, however, he stayed underneath the yellow line until he was three wide for the lead, therefore being penalized.
Mertesacker he technically was forced. Byron was close to wrecking infringement of him and bruschetta was coming down. He can't slow down a car going 200 mph so he had no other choice but to go under the line.
Are we not gonna discuss that Cody Ware and Timmy Hill ran in the top 10 toward the end of the race. But Cody spun out on the back and finished 19th while Timmy slipped back and finished 15th.
Hamlin was entirely forced below the yellow line. Anyone saying otherwise is just plain ignorant. Hamlin went for a gap on the bottom seeing that both the 17 and 20 washed up the track mid corner. Buescher bounced off of Jones, slid back down the track (no way he could control that), and takes the line that Hamlin had already committed to. If Hamlin stays on track there, he wrecks the field from 3rd on back and is demonized for being a dirty driver. Instead, he ducks below the yellow with +5 mph speed on the 17 and 20, who have already scrubbed speed from sliding down the banking, with less than a few inches to spare between him and the 17. You can also argue that Hamlin should've came back up immediately after ducking below the yellow. However, doing so would've spun him out on the transition of the banking (see Kyle Busch saves at Daytona in gen 6). You have to wait for the track to flatten out of turn 4 before you can blend back in safely. Hamlin did so, without passing either DiBenedetto or Byron. The only true passes he made below the yellow, due to being forced down there, were below the 20 and 17. Hamlin's move is one of the greatest displays of awareness and timing that I have ever seen. It was NASCAR's call to say if being under the yellow warranted an automatic DSQ, but as set by the precedent of Logano being penalized 2 times for forcing guys below the yellow line earlier in the race, this year NASCAR took on a more lenient stance for the yellow line offender and more aggressive stance on the blocker. NASCAR needs to figure out their stance. When you look at 2008 and 2020, the calls are not uniform whatsoever. May that be a product of the differences in runs that the cars now than they have in the past or simply just the inconsistency of NASCAR, the sport needs to look into getting rid of the yellow line altogether.
The government doesn't need waterboarding, just lock a prisoner in a room with JR and Burton and their shrill voices. Those two will make your ears bleed.
Oh sure just ride around the back while everyone who is capable is racing and pushing and risking and putting on a show. I am sure Fedex is proud of his safety rating
@@DanielNuteson I actually went back over the replay, Hamlin definitely shouldn't have had that win. If Hamlin and Buescher weren't penalized then how come DiBenedetto was? We'll see tomorrow, give NASCAR some time.
Let's not focus on the winner and focus on how great this race was. It felt very 90s style with the airborne crashes and very tight racing. Then we got a taste of gen 5 with the tandems at the end, then we got a mix of 2012 and 2019 with the big wreck at the end and close finish. I mean, how often do you get nearly 4 wide for the win?
In protest to these unfair calls to penalize hard & very normal racing I won’t watch another race. I’m done with this biased bs. 500 miles of guys moving all over the track to block & get a good run & in the end they hammer the leader for trying to hold on to the lead? Absurd!!! Nuscar at its finest !!
I hope Matty D ends up in the 48 after this year, but he wasn't going to win this race regardless of whether Hamlin was penalized. He forced Byron below the line, so Jones would've won.
Erik jones won this race... Denny had plenty of time and space to come back on.. Matty d should have penalty too for forcing.. 17 forced twice. Yes denny was forced down but HE STAYED DOWN and chase literally did the same thing denny did but y'all penalized him too. There's no excuses
What was your reaction to this wreck-filled race?
Good race, but I wish that Newman or Reddick would have won
A person I should’ve won
Scary
Some were pretty bad like as bad as the ending of the race.
No thanks, mother nature
If we go by this ruling where Denny won. Then Smith should of won the race in 2008.
facts that’s stupid
Smith should’ve won that race
I said the same thing when Regan actually beat KIller Tony S. that race!
Smith 2008 he was forced. Should’ve won
Not if your a jgr car
Matt DiBenedetto: **robbed of a win**
Regan Smith: First time?
“it’s a tough call for nascar” uh no it’s not? all they have to do is enforce their own rules
Even that was pretty hard. Do you even watch NASCAR?
I think it was a hard call, but easy enough because Denny stayed on the apron longer than Chase did. Luckily Chase’s penalty was correctly rescinded.
What did Denny do? I watched the whole thing, but I'm still confused
Austin Anderson he advanced his position below the double yellow line. you’re only allowed to go below the lines (for this race) if you’ve been forced down there. however, it’s pretty clear that Hamlin was NOT forced below, meaning he won by breaking the rules. it’s just frustrating that it seems like rules only apply to certain drivers.
They just like to help out denny hamlin and chase elliot unfortunately
Matty d deserves all the respect, great driving there at the end by him.
Where? When he body-checked Byron?
inFenity Yeah being a DiBenedetto fan he did drive well at the end, until he started wrecking everyone behind him as he was running out of fuel
He drove like a spaz at the end.
@@madmikeschannel8128 Dibenedetto even acknowledged it at the end. But he kinda had to do it.
Well at least he didn't intentionally wreck the entire field- like Harvick did
Is no one talking about how Timmy hill was in 3rd at one point
IKR. He ran out of fuel sadly
Rip timmy needs q win
I've been rooting for Timmy since the virtual NASCAR series in the spring. Sorry to hear he ran out of fuel.
Go #66!
it was so fun watching timmy hill up there
No way Hamlin was forced below the line. He went for a gap that disappeared and kept his foot in. Hey Nascar, you oughta be on the WWE Network.
Nascar is now the Professional Wrestling of auto racing. Too many gimmicks, mickey-mouse rules and "select" enforcement of the rules.

Ethan Miller no Erik Jones should have won
Anyone but Hamlin deserved that win
he also did it to avoid wrecking all 5 of them

Funny facts today: Ty Dillon finish 3rd, Ryan Newman 6th, JH Nemecheck 8th, Brenan Poole 9th.
Bad call by NASCAR. He advanced position and didn’t give the positions back.
Denny passed Buescher and Jones below the line, then nearly passed the 21 and 24 below the line.
21 won he didn’t get forced down he was behind the 17
Hamlin won anyways, and he wasn't forced down, he forced somebody else down.

@@itsluifer5477 Wrong, neither of them shouldn't have won. They both broke the double-yellow line rule.
He goes below the line
@@itsluifer5477 Yes, but DiBennedito forced the 24 below the double-yellow line.
Hamlin should not have won. I hate controversial finishes.
Same
Congratulations to Regan Smith on winning in 2008 over Tony Stewart!
So hamlin can pass under the line but no one else can lol
Way to go Hamlin great win !!!!!
Asterisk
Wow what a finish. I'm surprised any cars finished with all the wrecks. This is why I love Talladega
Really junior? 30 to 40 Gs? Is that really what you think is going on?
Damnit, I love Hamlin but I was rooting for 21.
Denny Hamlin is easily the best superspeedway racer as of right now. Nobody comes close.
The double yellow line rule is stupid
Andromeda Galaxy I was trying to say the fact you can’t go below the line to pass someone is stupid. Not that I don’t want the line at all.
Hamlin went below the white line, what a Joke Nascar has become.
He was forced though. If he hadn't he would've wrecked, it's instinct. He shouldn't come back up the racetrack though
Oh sure just ride around the back while everyone who is capable is racing and pushing and risking and putting on a show. I am sure Fedex is proud of his safety rating
The line is yellow
Because of a rule. I disliked the finish but YOU are a joke
@@DanielNuteson I actually went back over the replay, Hamlin definitely shouldn't have had that win. If Hamlin and Buescher weren't penalized then how come DiBenedetto was? We'll see tomorrow, give NASCAR some time.
NASCAR has to overturn this atrocity. Hamlin clearly violated the rule and ditto won this race.
Let's not focus on the winner and focus on how great this race was. It felt very 90s style with the airborne crashes and very tight racing. Then we got a taste of gen 5 with the tandems at the end, then we got a mix of 2012 and 2019 with the big wreck at the end and close finish. I mean, how often do you get nearly 4 wide for the win?
crazy how many cars lifted in the air just in one race
Who noticed in the Kyle Airborne wreck, Almirola also caught a bit of air.
So nascar screwed up. Matt D Should have won.
Crazy race. Crazy last laps. Crazy finish. Amazing!!! 🤩
I agree with Junior time to abolish the yellow line
I wanted Ryan Preece to win in the #37 car and did anybody see that with under 5 laps to go he was in 3rd Place at the time???
Guess the yellow line rule only applies to Ford's and chevys.
Other teams and drivers need to protest that win.
In protest to these unfair calls to penalize hard & very normal racing I won’t watch another race. I’m done with this biased bs. 500 miles of guys moving all over the track to block & get a good run & in the end they hammer the leader for trying to hold on to the lead? Absurd!!! Nuscar at its finest !!
If Hamlin was forced below the line, then why wasn't the 17 penalized??
he later was penalized and chase got his position back
Rick Allen gets over excited again and calls something that didn't happen with the #1 crash
Congrats too matty d for winning today denny may of won but let’s say matty d won
I almost won
Should have
If you want to be a winner publicly stand against the BLM & ANTIFA, be a man & show some courage
@@not-woke *ok but nobody asked* 😎
@@not-woke Are you ok?
@@Be.authentic_ i am happier than the woke sjw fools. Start throwing your hard earned money at the joke NASCAR is.
GOT WOKE & NOW GO BROKE🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cheater shouldn't of won it
Great race and great video !!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Rick: “The 1’s upside down!”
Me: Jumped the gun on that one, Rick
I can’t believe the Busch brothers got airborne in this race
I hope Matty D ends up in the 48 after this year, but he wasn't going to win this race regardless of whether Hamlin was penalized. He forced Byron below the line, so Jones would've won.
Nascar needs to put nascar live on saturdays and Sundays again
Typical nascar. If you drive for Gibbs (or Hendrick for that matter), you can LITERALLY do anything you want without any consequences.
Hey NASCAR I want to see where Matty D gets penalized tell me where he gets penalized
It was when he slammed Byron below the line.
Beautiful see kile busch, in the wall
Regan smith needs his win credit to him then in 2008! For being forced bottom of the line by stewart
Erik jones won this race... Denny had plenty of time and space to come back on.. Matty d should have penalty too for forcing.. 17 forced twice. Yes denny was forced down but HE STAYED DOWN and chase literally did the same thing denny did but y'all penalized him too. There's no excuses
The 88 just said he didn't like super speedways
The
WHAT
So Denny Hamlin went below the yellow line and advanced his position ... I thought you couldn't do that?
What a race!
Erik jones won this race fair and square
I think Blaney Get the win in this track again
I didn’t get to watch the end because of politics and commercials! But thanks to RUclips I got to see the finish thank you!
I know NASCAR on NBC is Impatient
Daniel Nuteson thanks bud I appreciate the pain as a NASCAR FAN that’s Not there! 🤘🏼
I missed the GWC because NBC decided to switch to a weather lady warning of a hurricane headed to the Gulf...priorities NBC, PRIORITIES!!!
Chris Cadenhead same here! Like lady we get it a hurricane is coming we know what to do! Unless you’re a noob in the gulf area! 😂
@@AviationAdrenaline91 Lol! You nailed it! We sleep just fine even during a cat 3
This so sad you can pass on the apron
When you see that the video is 16 min long...entertainment time
NASCAR is a joke. They even gave DiBenedetto a cheap ficticious pemalty while ignoring Hamlins obvious penalty. GO HARVICK!!!!
What about Chris? Shouldn't he get a penalty too?
Harvick Vs cheating JG
Matt D should've won because the 17 let him get back up but he just kept going until he reached the leader's
