I dont get it.?

May be...

  • everyone else pitted that was behind Kevin, and then he got out first. Now there were three cars that didn't pit, (11,20,and 88) so they were 1st 2nd and 3rd, so Kevin coming out first from the pits made him 4th!!! Get it!!!?

    WhooHoo!!! Congratulations to Jeff Burton!!!
  • The cars behind him on the lead lap pitted man.. or at least that's what I saw.
  • yea alot of the cars that passed him werent on the lead lap and the point at which he crossed the pit line is when the other cars where just now or not yet passing the start\finish line!!!!!!!!!!
  • There was only about 15 cars on the lead lap and most of them also pitted at the same time. Late in the race you have to make a choice. Stay out for track position with old tires or pit and get much better tires and know your car will be faster than the ones that stay out.

    There was little risk because he would probably get a top 10 even if nobody else pitted and he probably couldn't win the race on old tires. The tires gave him a shot to win the race especially when everybody else came in meaning he didn't lose any track position.
  • How did Kevin Harvick go into the pits and come out in the fourth position when cars stayed out on the track? I dont understand. Shouldnt have the cars behind him who also stayed out gained track position?
  • Every body else pitted also behind him that was on the lead lap--Some lapped cars stayed out which did happen---BUT seeing as how there was less than 10 laps it was a single file restart!!!!!!
  • All the cars behind him on the lead lap also pitted.
  • they would have if they were on the lead lap but the cars that passed him weren't on the lead lap thats why when they have restarts under caution there will be drivers that are laps down starting in the fronts of the packs
  • at that point there were less than 10 laps left and there were about MAYBE 15 cars on the lead lap most of which pitted except for Hamlin, Stewart, and Earnhardt
  • Well, at bristol it's a little different. There is two pit roads. One on each side. While maintaining pit road speed (anywhere from 30-55 MPH in some places) If you can pit and make it around and out in time before the cars get completely around the track and you can come out in front of them, then u get ur position back. And there was a caution out so he made a pretty good call.
