Talladega Observations - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports
In February 2007, when a similar situation occurred during the Craftsman Truck race at Daytona, NASCAR saw the situation quite differently.
NASCAR allowed driver Johnny Benson to drive below the yellow line – Daytona's out of bounds line, similar to Talladega – to move from third to second in the final 200 yards. Benson wasn't penalized because "if you can see the checkered flag on the last lap, anything goes," according to NASCAR spokesman Owen Kearns.
