They could hardly deny that it was a jumped restart. He goes about two car lengths early. It was so egregious, Truex tried to burn the damn racetrack down on the cooldown lap
I don't see why they can't strip him of the W. After decades they even got rid of the silly rule that even if your car is found to be illegal afterwards, if you get to hoist the trophy, the W remains yours. What's so different about an illegal restart under green-white-checkers?
