    Finally got a big one with about 15 to go. Lots of great saves by Shrub again today. He and the 26 almost caused the big one before it actually happened but they saved.

    18 wins. Not sure what the finishing order was because of that huge wreck.

    Montoya pulled a fast one on Jeff Gordon, i think he would have got the chance to do the same to Kyle Busch

    Am I imagining things or was Jr. getting really aggressive the last 25-30 laps and basically just taking people out? Looks like he started 2 wrecks including the one that took Stewart out. BTW if anyone wants a good bet put money on 88 in the lead with 50-75 to go and then not winning. If only NASCAR had shorter races.

    Everyone was too agressive at the end of a race.

    And KY (as I often call him) was clearly below the line when he passed Johnson. You can say Johnson forced him down, but he was already below the line and starting to pass him when they made contact.

    All in all, I think this was a very good race. It would have been great if not for a lot of dumb mistakes at the end.

    I thought Montoya was doing well right up to the point he took out the #15. I'm suprised he didn't get a penalty for that. If he did move low because he was catching Menard up to quick, then why did he move back up before he was clear...

    I'm not sure that the driving was all that aggressive - when you're running four-wide eventually someone is going to find a gap is not quite as wide as they thought. Looks great on TV, but all I was thinking for the last five laps was 'this is going to end in tears".
