I was just watching this race on YouTube [1] and read through the race description, noting that it says that Jeff Gordon took the lead on lap 2 and did not relinquish it until lap 21. However, it shows pretty clearly in the video that Mayfield took the lead back a few laps later (by my count, lap 5), and led through the ensuing caution with the video showing a graphic at 22:43 that says Mayfield was leading on lap 8.
That said, I looked up the race on racing-reference.info [2] and it claims the same as this section, that Gordon led straight through from 2 to 20. What is the proper procedure in a situation like this? Do we need a written reference, or does the video work?
