another spinner, right in front of Pruett.

Last lap fireworks, comming up.

He was passing him the right way. Pruett should've made a change in his line. He was still going to have the line for the next two turns.

Agree. Montoya had the bottom line, Pruett countered much too late. The correct counter, as I see it, should have been to stay outside and take advantage of being on the inside of the next 2 turns.

Chip might not be too happy it happened, but a penalty is the last thing he wants.

At the end of the day Chip will be the happiest of all.

With all the publicity and air time that he is getting - and his latest investment coming in on top - he is a winner.

And yes, juan et all will learn from this one.

LOL @ Montoya. What a stupid move, he just cant control himself can he?

Montoya has made moves like that for ever, he has never learnt from it. Lets just face it - he is a hothead who loses his head too often.

wow, there are a LOT of people on here who dont have a clue. i was rooting for montoya all the way, as i am only really an f1 fan. i know the f1 fraternaty is watching, and i was trying to think about their take on montoyas performance...coming from 20-something to 2nd is no small feat of course. it either shows the brilliance of montoya or the lack-thereof of the rest of the busch field. of course it could possibly just be that the ganassi team is just far superior on this track too. in any event, what DID transpire is a bone-head move that dashed all the previous heroics. he's fun to watch, but you just cant take out a team-mate. i sure thought there would be more people with enough rudimetary racing knowledge to understand this.

edit:

LOL and

The standard concept that: "The overtaking driver is responsible to make the pass safely" is something that's never been fully embraced in Nascar.

[dont_be_jack]

Yes, because we all know that in F1 you never want to wreck your teammate and you let him pass you without any issues because of team order. There's less than 10 laps - teammates don't matter anymore. You're racing for the win, screw your teammates. Race them, don't let them by like they do in F1.

cant wait for post-race interviews...

oh stupid caution.

Hamlin is pushing hard though. quite the last lap.
