The finish between Tony Stewart and Regan Smith at the Amp Energy 500 at Talladega Super Speedway was wild. Regan Smith drove below the yellow line to pass Tony Stewart coming to the checkered flag. NASCAR has always stated that drivers can never pass below the yellow line in order to improve their position. What made this controversial was the rumor flying around the garage area that once the race was on the final lap, this rule does not apply. Tony Stewart said in the post race interviews, that the rule were clearly stated in the drivers meeting before the race. What do you think? Comment below.

Regan should have opened up his ‘chute to hold back all of that Chevy power!
The 01 was pushed below the line. As I understand it, that is the only time you are allowed to pass under the line…wrong? Stewart did not win that race, Regan Smith did. That was such a BS judgement call by Nascar. This makes me not even want to watch these plate track races anyways. They should just do away will the whole “below the yellow line” rule anyways. It doesn’t prevent wrecks? Let them use the whole track just like every other race. Note to Regan, next time just keep your position and let Tony come across your nose and spin to the inflield. Go talk to Carl Edwards and Jeff Gordon….*see Coke Zero 400.
Sincerly,
One disgusted fan.
The fact is not him going below the yellow line it is that fact that he Passed Stewart below the line, that’s like running for a goal line and taking 3 steps out and saying TOUCHDOWN.. Smith went low and Stewart blocked, Had he been able to keep most of the car above the line He may have had a controversy
Regan won period end of story! Tony would still be crying if they didn’t give it to him.
Regan Smith won hands down.That was politics.
