The LD *always* goes to the end of the longest line, regardless of how many laps down he was when he got it. The only way he would line up on the inside is if the inside happened to be the longest line (there are more cars 1+ laps down then on the lead lap). As to another question posted here, if there are no cars one lap down, then the car closest to the leader two laps down gets it, etc on back until someone eligible gets it. |

NR2003 & Lucky Dog question
Russell you're actually wrong. The mentioned it during the same race that
the LD started at the end of the longest line. As far as I remember Johnson never received a LD that day. Bob V's post earlier with the interview with John Darby is correct.

Johnson got the LD on the first caution of the Bristol race, according
to Jayski. He was, of course, multiple laps down at the down. |

NR2003 & Lucky Dog question
any lucky dawg pretty much has to get EOLL penalty, and be end of longest
line, PERIOD. if he is the only car a lap down or more this really is NOT a problem because he is NOT forced to linup on the inside, the game doesnt care, even though it urges you to do so...

Last thought on the LD.
Now I cannot prove that this is a problem because our league uses the rule you have to start at the end of the longest line, but why we do this mainly is because in the earlier versions of NR, when you gave a person his lap back, if someone was right behind them, sometimes this would cause PROBLEMS with scoring for any cars behind that LD car. One time it caused a car in last place to be technically about to lap the field which, screws up pits and everything else... Meanwhile, the Admins had to throw caution to clean up the mess, it just aint worth the risk.. It also saves confusion because we dont have spotters (real ones anyway) and we use F2 screens and the like, we accept that the 'slight penalty' for getting the LD (a lap back) is having to be behind EVERYONE else at the time the green flag drops. If you arent in place when the flag goes green you dont get the LD. it is kinda like the pit road cone/commitment line, when your leagues says you pit in commit before turn 3, even though you can actually come out of 4 and get it pitted, you get a BF, or lose points upon review.
