Re: Gurney, Fogarty, and the GAINSCO Pontiac win the Daytona Prototype Championship

Shame on Gainsco and shame on Grand Am. The 99 car did a dirty move by making contact with the 01, which also led to the 10 car catching on fire. Grand Am never called any penalties.

Yet, when the 01 car made contact with the 99 near the end of the race, the 01 car was given a penalty. So essentially the championship was decided NOT by racing but by a questionable penalty call.
