We all get on the brakes too hard occasionally but the rule is you wreck you're out, I've been Dq'ed for it myself. If the cars were in opposite lanes it would've been even worse. I can't seem to upload the pictures here but I've made a post on my Facebook and it's set to public so everyone can see for themselves. If you aren't my friend on Facebook you can search Allen Sherman and find me...at this point the racer who lost, Stan Holt isn't worried about the round win aspect as much as the precedence being set by allowing this to happen when it could've been way worse for both drivers...

I had the thankless job being race director at speedworld and tire smoke, skid marks, or wrecking was a dq. Happened twice and the 2 drivers were po'd. But the racers as a whole excepted the decision as being the correct one. The rule at my track was always announced and not a hidden rule.
