Bowyer won at Kansas.
Biffle ran out of fuel, dropped back to 4th at the line but was still given the win, he was unable to keep Pace Speed and was still allowed to win. :mark:
does Nascar have a rule book or is Heltons IQ a 0.
Clint, JJ, and Gordon are all correct from their statements saying Biffle never kept speed and should be dropped to 4th
They can pay $500 and file a protest, and that is expected.
harvick#1, you are exactly correct. NASCAR should be ashamed of themselves for how badly they run this sport. What would the call had been if Biffle ran out of gas in the back straight ? He still wins the race ? No way in my book. He deserves fourth in this race today. Bowyer won. 'nuff said.
Think about it for a minute guys. Who do you think NASCAR would have preferred to win in Kansas? Ya reckon it might have been native son Boywer?
On Wind Tunnel they said that according to the "official rule" Biffle had to maintain cautious pace not pace car speed.
WTF is cautious pace?
I agree completely, however, this is not a case of "conspiracy theories", merely incompetence and inconsistency.Quote:

What was the point of running what, 30 more laps (Well NASCAR's two favorite golden boy clones would have finished a lap down at the back of the pack if they called the race.... And we couldn't have that happening now could we....)
Then to top it all off, those aholes that runthe three ring circus known as NASCAR let Biffle keep the win even thought he didn't take the checkered flag or maintain pace car speed (Hell. His car wasn't even on the track when it finally crossed the finish line for crying out loud)
Boywer should have been sitting in victory lane.
Yet another race added to the NASCAR "Officiating Hall of Shame".

Bowyer got screwed
and nascar fans wonder why others question if it is on the level or not.
