Blaney and Hamlin weren't even close when Newman got turned. Almost 600+ feet from the last push from hamlin about 2 seconds in time

Blaney even said he made two attempts to get by, got blocked and decided to try and push newman. Hamlin was 2 lanes up at that point. Blaney was turning down to go under Newman as he was gonna get pinched into the wall. Yep, he got loose making that move. Sometimes the guy getting pushed causes the issue. Newman was free and clear until Blaney hooked him down near the yellow line. .

Watch Newmans hands, tells the story. He made a nice smooth move to block to the yellow line, then the bad stuff for him started. That's near the gore point of pit road which is a long ways from exit of 4 where the pushing got broken up.
