2005 Dinoco 400 Stewards Decision: Collision between Car 86 and Car 64

The stewards heard from Car 86 (Chick Hicks) and Car 64 (Winford Bradford Rutherford) about the collision on lap 194 which caused resulted in Car 64 losing control and hitting Car 92, and consequently causing a large pile up. Car 86 was ahead going into the corner and Car 64 attempted to pass around the outside. Car 86 then made contact with Car 64. Radio logs reveal that shortly before the incident, Car 86 said the following over the radio: "Dinoco's All Mine". The stewards verdict is that although Car 86 drifted into Car 64, Car 86 was ahead at the apex and so this was a racing incident.

On an oval the whole track is the apex. Hicks was never wrong.
