Dead wrong both of you.
In an effort to be sure that drivers do not have concussions or broken
necks the rule is that if you are involved in a contact incident
whereby you have to get out of the car, then you have to go to the
infield care center.
This keeps drivers alive and healthier.
So what if in a few isolated incidents (like this one) the driver
looses position.
I fully agree with NASCAR that this rule should have no gray zone as
there is no way to determine the exact cutoff point of a light tap and
a hard hit. (hard tap vs light hit etc...)
Thank you NASCAR for helping to keep one of my favorite groups of
people alive and healthy.
