I might be picking at a scab here, but for those who are discounting that to some of us, it looks like Hewitt slowed up and tried to allow Kenny Jacobs to retake the lead, are you saying:

  1. That isn't what he did... He didn't intentionally slow down.  His foot came off the gas pedal and it took him that long to find it again or something along those lines.
  2. Once he made contact, he should have just pulled into the infield and not finished the race.
  3. It doesn't matter that he slowed up (even if it was on purpose) because he took out the leader and his name goes down as the winner.  Even after offering an instant apology, and offering to split the winnigs with Jacobs, none of that matters.

Not sure if anyone will do this, but I'll ask anyhow.... Let us know your answer: 1, 2, any combination of the 3, or non of the above.

Since I still have my thinking hat on here, although it doesn't work as good as it used toUndecided...., let me further complicate things....  If Hewitt and Jacobs were way, way out in front... (3/4's of a lap or so) and if they both knew it they had a big lead over everyone else (which is probably doubtful even if they were that far out in front), then would it have made more sense for Hewitt after making contact to slow down (almost stop if necessary), and let Jacobs go back around him, (even if it at that point they were moving very slowly) and then stay behind Jacobs all the way around to the checkered in hopes that Jacobs would still get the win, and Hewitt would get 2nd (provided Jacobs could nurse it around to the checkered before whoever was running in 3rd place got there?)  That would have been pretty cool, but without spotters, I don't think either would know how far in front of 3rd they were.  Probably way too much info to try to process all at that instant.

By the way, does anyone know if Jacobs ended up finishing 2nd?
