Do you believe his operations ceased while he was in prison?

Lol nice catch, that's hilarious.

Fuck Nascar so fucking hard

Ridiculous rule

Technically, he did drive 501miles.

Check out the threads below lol.

Why not just link the relevant ESPN article instead of ripping a bunch of random disjointed quotes from it and pasting them with weird formatting?

Absolutely moronic way to call a winner. Let them race to the effing checkered flag at least.

Thank you for the explanation! That's really helpful and makes a lot of sense. Ending a race under caution would be so anticlimactic. Extending it makes more sense. I had always thought that races could end up caution but maybe that's for different leagues like F1 or something.

It’s not about ties. A caution flag in NASCAR takes up about 5 laps for them idling around the track while the incident is cleaned up. If this happens with like, 2 laps to go, they won’t just have the race reach its scheduled distance and end with the field under caution. They’ll extend the length of the race so there can be a green-white-checkered: a 2-lap restart where the field takes the green flag, goes around to take the white flag, and then comes to the checkered flag. If another wreck happens before the white flag is reached, they’ll try again. This can lead to the race distance being extended multiple times.

In this case they had reached the white flag at the time of the final crash, and because of this the race was ended as soon as the caution flag flew. Stenhouse was the leader at that point, and was therefore declared the victor.

I really hope that was at all concise! I work within racing so I’m happy to answer any other questions.

And when the guilty person freed by letting her go kills ten innocent people, how does your platitude balance that ledger?

Track cleanup caused long cautions. I think the last caution was around 7 laps.

Hard to call 14 major championships a “waste of talent.” He did throw it away though, in part. The injuries were just as real as the collapse of his personal life. The last time he returned to that game he won another major. So it’s not like he isn’t capable.

People want to see Tiger return and retire on top. He likely won’t, but no harm in cheering for redemption.

Not that he really needs it.

I know nothing about racing or Nascar. Can someone explain why you would ever need OT in a race? Doesn't the first person across the line just win? The possibility of an exact tie seems improbably low so there must be something I don't understand.

Right but it was only 2 OTs. If crashes kept extending there wouldn’t be more no?

They kept crashing, extending the OT.

It's really dumb system that IMO ruins races like this. I get why they've done this, but this is worse than having anticlimactic yellow-flag checkers. It's better from the audience perspective, but worse for the quality of the sport itself.

He needs better antiperspirant...

How did 2 OTs push it to 12 laps more? Aren’t OTs only a couple laps?

I am both amazed and not amazed how much attention Tiger still draws.

On one hand he's a living legend, easily one of the best to ever play.

On the other, he's had a lot of time out of the spotlight, obviously out of his prime due to many factors, and yet still commands headlines anytime he plays, more so than many of the current's top talent.

Did you see that? I saw it. But I couldn't believe it.

This doubling down is expert level trolling which if unintentional is even better.

This is the first plate race I haven’t tossed a little money on wrecky for shits and giggles in years…
