What race was it when tony stewart went below the yellow line for the win or was it?

May be...

Hoff got it right. First applied to Stewart at Daytona, July 2001.

or when was first time below the yellow line was implied...it was against stewart right??????

You might be thinking of the fall 2008 Talladega race in which Regan Smith made a late pass on Stewart coming to the line for what appeared to be his first career victory, but officials ruled that the pass was made below the yellow line and the victory was disallowed. Smith said he was forced below the line, but the officials determined that he never should have attempted the pass to begin with.

The rule says that a driver cannot go below the yellow line and advance his position. If he goes below it accidentally and gives up the track position then he usually isn't penalized for it. The yellow line rule at the superspeedways has been in effect for several years for safety reasons.

the only one i seen was dega. that boy has alot of controversy around him.

Wasnt it Talladega last year when Ragan smith went below it...but they gave the win to Stewart because they said it was illegal. caused much controversy I remember.

This is what you are talking about:

The rule has been controversial ever since it was first applied in the July 2001 Pepsi 400 at Daytona. Tony Stewart, racing for the lead and a potential $1 million bonus, was at the bottom of a four-wide pack late in the race. With little room to run four wide, Stewart dipped below the line rather than give up his position. NASCAR black-flagged him, but he ignored the penalty. While Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Michael Waltrip went on to finish first and second, NASCAR dropped Stewart to 26th, the final position on the lead lap. That decision prompted an ugly incident in which Stewart had to be restrained by team owner Joe Gibbs.air mile credit card canada
