do you think brad was right? or should of went below the yellow and say he was forced down there?

Nascar made it very clear before the race that there would be no exceptions to the double yellow rule.

However, didn't they issue "warnings" to other drivers during the race?????

He held his ground just like he should have. Carl even said that Brad did the right thing.

Heck of a race.

So let me get this straight.. When Vickers came down on Jr, The very same thing (worse really, Jr was coming faster, and Vickers kept coming down after they both had four wheels under the line), Jr should have just punted him airborne.. Some folks don't want to wreck anyone, no matter what the rules say.. I personally don't know what I would do, but I would have a hard time not trying to avoid the wreck..

When you see the video from the inside of the track, and watch Brad hold his line right up to, but not over the line, it's very impressive..

Edit: Most of you don't understand what Carl should have understood.. As soon as Brad moved out from behind Carl, the push Brad had been giving Carl ended, slowing Carl drastically.. When Carl turned the wheel it added friction, and made it worse.. He had no chance of getting back in front of Brad.. Carl needed to stay on the line in the tri-oval area, to keep Brad form making a DOWN HILL run.. Brad would have failed to the outside because it's UP HILL.. These tiny things make a difference in these cars.. The cars are so evenly matched..

Almost forgot second part.. It would have given NASCAR another oportunity to choose the winner.. They would have thought about the points race, and gave it to Carl.. Brad would have had a much better effect on the fans, as you can see.. Nobody is going to forget this one, for a long time..

NASCAR made it clear in the driver's meeting that anyone that goes below the yellow lines would be penalized.They also made it clear that even if a driver is forced below the yellow lines,they will be penalized if they advance their position(which is stupid as hell) and that they will "consider" penalizing the driver that forced the other down there as well.Brad did nothing wrong.The drivers and the fans learned all too well after the last stupid incident at Talladega with Regan Smith that if you are their,you should not be thoughtful of safety and just hold your line to win the race.NASCAR made their bed and now they are lying in it.I would not have moved an inch either.NASCAR rules can be quite ridiculous at times.

If he had gone below the yellow line NASCAR would have done the same thing to him that they did to Regan Smith last year. Brad would have been penalized and his finish would have been recorded as the last car on the lead lap. There's no way he could have predicted what happened so I believe he did the right thing by not going below the yellow line.

Apparently, you missed the pre race meeting coverage on Fox. NASCAR said under no circumstances would going below the yellow line be acceptable. You do it, and you go to the back. Brad didn't want to be penalized, so he held his ground even though he had a fender on Carl and knew he would spin Carl if he continued to come down the track. Carl even said it after the race that Brad did what he was supposed to do. Carl was trying to block Brad but couldn't do it and wrecked himself, basically.

He did what the rules made him do. He stayed put. NASCAR is to blame for putting the drivers in the position to begin with. Lose the yellow line rule on situations like this. There is enough room on the apron in the tri-oval at both tracks (more so at dega) that if a driver blocks you low, you can go down there to try and win the race. 100% NACARS fault here. Same thing happened last year when Smith who legitimately won the race had it taken away because Stewart drove him down there. Smith said Stewart drove him down there and the y still penalized him 15 spots. Same would have happend to Kezlowski. Kudos to him for staying his ground.

Brad did the right thing, forced or not if he went below the yellow line he would have been penalized. NASCAR has made it very clear if they go below the double yellow line they will go to the end of the longest line.

We all know what nascar would have said. Carl would have gotten the win. Brad handled the situation perfectly. The next a car is in Carls position, they will know better I bet.

What choice did he have, because the name of the game is to win the race for your team sponsors. It was Edwards who was at fault he tried to prevent Brad from passing him but Brad was to far past him that's when you need to back off. If he had gone below the yellow line that automatically would have disqualified him. I'm just glad that Edwards got out of the car and was basically okay. It looked worse than it actually was.

NASCAR made it's bed when they penalized Regan Smith for not crashing Tony Stewart out of the race last fall. If Regan stood his ground, Tony would have been the one tumbling down the front stretch. But Regan chose not to cause a crash, and he was penalized for it. And Stewart was rewarded for blocking, and given the win. Brad decided to win, didn't let Carl block him, Carl crashed, and now NASCAR looks like the big losers.
