Yellow line debate divides NASCAR fans after Talladega Cup finish

Kyle Larson charged from 11th place on the final lap to take the NASCAR Cup Series victory at Talladega Superspeedway. Following the race, fans questioned whether Larson dipped below the double yellow line while passing Todd Gilliland in the tri-oval. NASCAR officials reviewed the finish and ruled there were no yellow line violations on the final lap, confirming Larson's win over Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and William Byron.

Ross Chastain and Austin Hill also faced scrutiny for similar moves earlier on the final lap. Addressing the controversy, Larson and crew chief Cliff Daniels explained that Larson began celebrating early and took his hands off the steering wheel before reaching the start-finish line, which caused the car to drift close to the boundary.
