The wins with the stars beside them de-notes the faster car red lit the least amount. So we have 19 races and if the worst red light rule was in effect, 14 cars would have advanced to the next round because they were the better driver up front. Instead, they went home. Of these races, the won who benifitted the most by not having the worst red light rule was Kevin Cradduck. His round 3 redlight was negated and he went on to runner-up. Good job Kevin! Hope you found this interesting. Danny
