P8 was the first car in the left lane. The video is from P20.

Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.

I was thinking the same thing, how did you reach the outside of the mirror.Dang you've got long arms.
And that was an interesting way to leave pit lane, looks like he problem could have been solved before it started by holding the outside lane?

Not sure who the lady in red and black jacket is, but she is the first one to blame. She was not the head of the SM line, not sure why she felt it was her responsibility to wave anyone out? if you look at here a fews seconds after she waves the cars out, you can tell she is clearly confused. 
The poor splitter, he was rightfully pissed, we came at him three wide

Wow what a mess. There had to be someone out there yelling I was 7th.....
I know there was one guy yelling "I was first" with a lot of #$%&^* and $%^&*( mixed in
I watched my race video and was surprised to see how mad I was during the grid mess and when we stopped for a black flag. I had buried the "Jersey" for almost 20 years, but in that 10 minute segment, it was like I never left and it all came right back to the surface.

That would be a pass under the yellow. Yes that is what Tony did and that is why he was penalized.

Pat
Yes that is what Tony did. If we all went? Who knows what they would have done?
But there was a double yellow flying at all stations, so in my mind their was no decision to be made. The one thing that Tony didn't have the advantage/disadvantage of knowing was that Craig Berry was Dq'ed a few weeks earlier for assuming his rightful position on the pace lap. Blake was in that race, Sandlin ,Berry and I are good friends, so we all knew. So that meant at least 4 of the top seven weren't moving. A week later, it still stinks!

No, different people. Hopefully this was a one time deal, been running the Sprints since 2006 and this was the only the first real disaster, well 2008 was a mess too
That was 5 laps of racing.
