Based on that photo I posted, I think NASCAR does the same thing.

How they actually do it

Which, given my complete lack of knowledge of NASCAR, is also why the painted line on the track is not perfectly straight after 200 laps of cars going 250 mph over it.

Well there is also a change in the bank between the two cars. So the perspective and bank change could make it look not straight.

Yeah but would that be there when you finish?

No they used transponders mounted in the car to determine who won. All mounted in the same spot.

Also this is the photo NASCAR used, VAR lines and everything

Of course can’t have a painted line on a dirt track

That's not true. My grandpa used to work dirt racing. They would spray paint lines on the track for where you could start.

Well think about who the average NASCAR fan is

I’m being real entertained by this “line isn’t straight” conspiracy online

Did you see the Kentucky Derby on Saturday? They had a really close finish too

yeah but I’m not seeing any “this is a conspiracy!!! Rabble rabble!” Takes from the Kentucky Derby section

They have a mirror across from the camera to help with the finish determination

As if in 2024 every sporting entity isn’t using some kind of high speed camera for such things

Buscher intentionally runs high to try to pin him to the wall coming out of the corner, as they moved down I think he held his ground higher so Larson ran into him and then that last one before the line was Larson still forcing him lower.

Agree

Also that isn't that egregious.

I think they both bumped each other.

Https://x.com/bleacherreport/status/178 ... Ncrl7GzHdw nASCAR fans. Is that bump right before the line the equivalent of Jordan pushing off?

ignore

Yikes.

Yup

Dang. Tough break

Haven't heard his side of the story just read the news article.

There was another officer involved shooting yesterday where the officer did kill the person so his story will likely be buried by the news of that one plus the storms today.

He responded to a domestic incident where a woman shot a man. She came out and was holding something and he fired and missed. She was not holding a gun, but they didn't say what it was.

Yup

Is he police?

Ouch

In other news my BIL is on admin leave after firing his weapon

with the Miz
