Looks like they had to tarp off a decent amount of seats again on the upper ends.

I REALLY hope they do this. The top 35 thing is retarded.

HOLY SHIT that was one hell of a "Big One"

They ran the entire GWC 4 wide, so you knew it was coming.

Kenseth wins.

Wow, can't believe they lasted as long as they did running like that. Wo knows how they'll sort out the finishing order.

Stewart had less than 4 tires on the ground for about 15 seconds straight.

Gordon was 16th when it started and he should finish 2nd.

That was bonkers. Unreal to see not only a wreck like that but the fact 20 cars were basically totaled

Definitely his fault, I don't think he thought Michael was coming as hard as he was. It was like someone shot him out of a cannon when Mears hooked up with him

That's awesome.

Tony decided he's either gonna win or take out the field. Hell of a finish.

Which is why I don't like NASCAR. That ain't racing. That is hoping you don't get in a crash on the last lap after riding in a car for hours. All the driver skill, crew skills and strategy meant nothing.

Whoopdeedoo.

At least it's not as bad as Formula one. F1 you are lucky to get a half dozen passes, on some tracks. Something's wrong when qualifying is more exciting than the actual race.

Oh for sure. I've never liked F1 or even Indy.

Throw in the fuel strategy races too. Hate them. Then the rest are ok. Except to Michigan and Pocono. And Texas.

Eh, I don't mind fuel strategy races. That's part of it. It's not about luck like restrictor plate racing.

But I wish it weren't part of it. I want the cars (setup etc) and drivers to have to win races.
