Get ready, because this episode is one heck of a ride. The 1978 fall race at Atlanta provided no shortage of chaos and confusion.

Before timing and scoring systems were implemented, races were scored and officiated by actual humans. This means mistakes are bound to be made, and advantages to be taken. This led to the question that everyone was asking after the race: who actually won?
