Robby Gordon or Dave Blaney for the win.

Just found the race and watched for a second. The whole 2 car draft thing is just odd.

I don't mind it either... it's sure made for lots of lead changes both at Daytona and here.
Jr. was bitching about it this weekend.

Johnson wins a 4-wide, 8-car race across the stripe.
I was hoping Blaney could stay up there!

So, didn't going under the line cost Regan Smith a few years ago? Why not the same with Johnson?

Exciting finish.
Kurt Busch had a good day, 3 for 3, with 3 cars batted in. Go Tribe!

Um, did you not watch the overhead. He was straddling his car on the line in the tri-oval. Not completely over like Regan did mind you, but still.

I'm trying to find it now. People on NASCAR.com are saying he may have been ON the line (OK), or got back up above it before he ever advanced a position (OK), and others saying he had 2 tires over it while advancing (not OK).

OK, saw one. It looks like at the lowest point in the trioval he did have tires ON the line, but never BELOW.
I mean, obviously had he snuck over they would have probably let him get away with it anyway because that's how they roll, but it still looked clean to me (just barely) after the replay.

what a shitty race.
and Kurt was wrecking people all say. just like Daytona, he really can't be the rear car in those 2 car hookups.

Thats just typical racing from the Busch family. If you cant race'em, wreck'em. Right, GC?

Oh he's definitely my favorite driver over the past 5 years. I just am not sure if I can root for him again until he proves he's the best in 2011!!!
