NASCAR Cup Series managing director Brad Moran explained the difference between the painted start/finish line and the technology used to determine the race winner. He emphasized the precision of their laser line compared to the visual line for fans and teams. The closest finish in Cup Series history saw Kyle Larson beat Chris Buescher by 0.001s at Kansas Speedway. Initial confusion arose due to the TV camera angle not fully showing the finish line. NASCAR released high-speed camera images to clarify Larson’s victory, highlighting the importance of technology in determining race outcomes. Similar technology was used earlier in the season to confirm Daniel Suarez as the winner at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
