First, the 47 was not an "involved" car. He was a hit car and since he did not crash, he was not in a crash...therefore he couldn't be "involved". You don't get punished for being hit and saving it. If the 11 had spun the 47, then both cars would be an involved car. Thats the letter of the rule. I'm not sure where people have come to the conclusion that "involved" is literal. 47 was set to the back ONLY because he "jumped the line". Which is a bad call and it shouldn't have happened. Once they hit that white strip, its foot to the firewall. Thats what makes corners 3 and 4 so exciting. Brutal call, regardless of whether you like the 47 or not. Infact, I'm pretty sure the rule is you can't pass someone until the LEADERS cross the white. The 47 didn't pass him until after the line. He was infront, but not pass.
The only reason the 11 went to the back was because he had to pit due to what appears to be a tire. Not because he hit the 47...I can guarantee you that and I wasn't there last night.
The 29 was an involved car because he was spun and the 19 SHOULD have been scored as an involved car. I like Witty, but he's been getting away with murder this year. Anyone who can argue that is as bias as the flagman.
So really, the only thing that is debated is the restart with the 47. Conclusion...Coates blow another call!
I've watched the video a few times now and i gotta say, I'm not sure what walters did wrong. Looks like a pretty ticky tack call.
47 should been givin a warning first like it has been all season ageed 19 should have been called involved car also
😀
I would agree with the prior posters in favour of 47,appears to me the flagman gave the green, if it looked wrong to him why did he give it. If the incident did not happen the 11 would have been probably where he was supposed to be, I doubt he meant for it to happen and it would not help him win doing that anyways he's been around awhile.

I too have watched the video a few times , really what did walters do to justify a black flag. Absolutely brutal,brutal call .
