2 horrible wrecks back to back,man.
I`m glad to see rocketman ok after flying around like that. The win hopefully will help McMurray catch a ride next year,he`s a good guy

McMurray is a good driver, he will land a ride somewhere next year................Hopefully in a Ford.

My take on that race was, yeah there were two pretty crazy wrecks. I know NASCAR wants to keep things safe with the no push rule in the corners,but that made everyone drive around single file half the day.

If your a championship driver you should get up front and RACE,not hang at the rear of the field and pick your way to the front with 15 to go.

Mark Martin was up front all day and raced like a championship contender should. I really wish he'd win the championship he deserves it.

Glad to see Jr. lead some laps yesterday at least he had a top 10 finish with out an issue.

All in all if was a cool race it's hard not to get exited about a race at DEGA

Mark's hopes are over yet again. Johnson has almost a race lead in the points,highly unlikely he will lose that many points in the next 3 races. As far as the race goes,what a snoozer for most of it,then it turned into a fiasco. exciting? not hardly. maybe for mark and ryan when they were on there lids,but i am thinking that is not the kind of excitement they were looking for!!

Yah, Mark didn't look to happy about taking that tumble at the age of 50.

Also after watching Ryan Newmans car get air borne, I wounder how much of a roll the new spoiler had in that thing lifting up.

With the old flush spoiler,once the roof flaps deployed, the back end would slam back down. It'll be interesting to see if they say anything about that.
