The consensus out there tonight, NASCAR rigged the end of the race just to give Austin Dillon the Nationwide Series Championship.
There were 28 laps to go when the caution comes out - The race restarted with five laps to go. No doubt, NASCAR should have red-flagged the race.
From ESPN:
Quote:
Hornish looked as if he would overcome an eight-point deficit in the standings for much of the 200-lap race, but a lengthy caution late posed problems. NASCAR slowed the race for 12 laps -- tied for the longest caution of the year -- and it turned out to be a setback for Hornish.
He dropped from third to ninth on the final restart with five laps to go, ending his chances at getting a title in what was his final race for Penske Racing.
"I felt very sorry for Sam," Penske said. "And I have to say I've never seen a race that was so important give away 20 laps before you have five laps to go. To me, that is very disappointing from the standpoint of the fans and (us) as competitors."
NASCAR defended its decision to keep the race under caution.

If not for the caution laps Hornish would have won it, congrats cowboy hat for being paper champion.

Of course everyone wants to be Dillon, you get the championship with NASCAR cheating.
