UNFIAR? It's alll about gaining an advantage and he missed by 3 feet. They tried to get to the pits before the yellow came out. Happens all the time at other track and you never know if NASCRAP will throw one anyways. The issue I had when I saw it was KB had no alternatives. He was to close to the commitment cone to veer back to the track, penalty; coming down pit road and re-entering the pack under yellow, penalty; stopping and servicing, penalty. There were NO options. There needs to be a second line where if a yellow comes out, if you crossed that line you are committed to pit at the road courses. Give the driver a opportunity to get back on track. KB was locked into pitting and had 3 feet to make a decision. And the light being in the asame spot as the line is flat STUPID. Vision in the cars is terrible at best. they need another light further down to signal the drivers about open/closed. I don't recall Gordons deal. I thought he was further back, but, if it happened to him to him under the same circumstances, he got jobbed, too.
