Why was J. Johnson not penalized for jumping the last restart in today's NASCAR race?

May be...

He was penalized....They told him he had to run out of gas with 2 to go.

[End Conspiracy]

Johnson eventually gave up the lead on that lap anyway.

beacuse he does alot behind the scenes and under the desks.
ANYONE BUT JIMMY

Because Vickers spun his tires, and Johnson might have caused a big wreck behind him if he had gotten on the binders.

No privilege, just common sense.

I think Nascar didn't penalize him because he was just about an inch ahead of Vickers and plus if I recall right, Vickers took the lead on the same lap both restarts. Nascar makes a judgement call on those situations. If the 2nd place car gained an entire car length or more over 1st place they would probably penalize a driver.

i think if the situation was reversed Vickers would've been penalized. NASCAR like all other sports league has to protect the people they market the most. Look at LeBron they're considering changing traveling to 3 1/2 steps due to his crab dribble. The rules of NFL got changed last offseason due to Tom Brady's injury. Those are just a few references, Michael Jordan they say had his own set of rules. Anyone remember D Wade in the 06 finals, man got every blocking call never got a charge when he was steamrolling the Mavs. NBA is easiest to reference in this situation cuz they are more superstar driven then other leagues, but they all do it.

Vickers spun the tires like ''Carl 68c'' explained.

It was seemed obvious that he was ahead of Vickers when they crossed the start/finish line. Is this a privilege of NASCAR champions that I don't know about?

As I said in the other question like this one, Jimmie is Nascar's golden boy. They'll do whatever they can to keep Jimmie in the running. AND HE STILL COULDN'T WIN!

I was confused over that as well since they've said the guy in 2nd cannot be ahead of the leader at the line....didn't matter in the end but still, they've never been consistant in their rules, lol

i didn't see it so ill take the word that vickers spun the tires. even though every little bit of me wants to say duh he drives for hendrick thats why he wasn't penalized but like i said i didn't see it so. i just love that both of vickers wins have come at Johnson's expense.

i don't know.

Because Jimmie is better than Vickers

NASCAR stated in the drivers meeting that they would look at any infraction and make a judgement call at that time. No penalty was needed.

This is the problem with the Nascar rules. There are too many "judgement" calls. Something should either be a penalty or not be a penalty. If JJ was ahead at the line, he should received a penalty. period.

jimmie gave the lead back to vickers

they showed the replay in slow motion and Jimmie was not ahead of Vickers at the checkered line.the remedy music
