## Resource

Bubba Wallace’s late-race push at EchoPark Speedway turned into a penalty nightmare when he crossed below the yellow line — a rule that doesn’t care if you meant to or not. Even though he was trying to brake and give back positions, NASCAR officials ruled he gained an advantage, and the penalty stood after video review. The rule, in place since 2001 at select tracks, is strict: any position gain — even a sliver — triggers a penalty, designed to prevent dangerous apron passes that have caused major crashes. Wallace protested, but officials upheld the call, emphasizing safety over drama. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
