The reason these finish line photos are not accurate has been discussed to death on here and they are not accurate for a variety of reasons. One of them being that stripe is added and not straight. I'm not being a jerk about it or anything. I do find it funny that anyone would use that stretched and skewed photo as proof of anything. Back when it happened at Indy they had a clear photo with no computer generated stripe and the camera was in a much better position to look across the finish line. Some much more intelligent photographers here have explained it better than I could.
