A two-lap hold here means Wallace will be sitting there in his pit stall for about 10 minutes.

NASCAR's estimated time of the race: Two hours, 56 minutes.

[Bob Pockrass @bobpockrass]

I don't remember a time when NASCAR was that forgiving to someone who lost laps other than the all-star race where everyone could bring out backup cars.

[Derek Lester @lesterd88]

I was on board with the exceptions until getting laps back.

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

My entire history of covering NASCAR, I've remembered a decision at the 2004 Martinsville race when the track came apart and Jeff Gordon's car was damaged by the concrete.

It was only my third race and I got up the nerve to ask a question in the postrace press conference regarding whether Gordon should get his spot back. I was told by a driver that was a stupid question.

Here we are all these years later and Corey Day is magically getting his four laps back after his car was damaged by the track. I know I'm an old fart and there's no such thing as precedent from 22 years ago, but this is breaking my brain. 😂 Maybe it wasn't a stupid question after all.
