I don't understand how Todd Bodine was not penalized for passing Erik Darnell under the yellow line while they were coming to pit road. Then Bodine's teammate takes out Darnell!?! Nascar has rules about this stuff I think they should follow them. They were going to penalize Johnny Benson but after review they saw they would have to penalize Bodine and mabe even Kyle Busch so they descided not to. I'm sorry but that just seems wrong to me. Stuff like this might be why nascar's ratings have started to drop.

Sore loser because, it singled out the winner, when the whole lead pack did it.

The three big dogs did it, not the whole pack. For example, the 99 didn't pass Darnell wink

I always thought the rule, for safety reasons, was that cars had to come on to pit road single file not two lanes.

That sounds like a valid point to make. They sure as anything were not in single file.

When cars or trucks enter pit road, they can't pass them on the left. Darnell was caught sleeping when T. Bodine passed him when they exited pit road into turn one.

Then they were going to penalize Benson for passing when he was just avoiding the mess and after realizing that about the whole pack would have to be flagged they dropped the penalty. NASCAR still enforcing rules only when they choose to. I think both Bodine and Darnell were speeding leaving pit road but NASCAR didn't call it because they were leading the race.
