| I thought the race was decent. A lot more side by side racing then usual for "the track too tough to tame".

| Man, I thought beer cans were going to fly after he got Biffle all out of sorts. BTW, great save Greg. Then he's having break issues. Holy Mother of God, that one pit stop looked like 10 pounds of break dust came off that right front. I did figure that Kyle could come back for a decent finish after the penalty. After all, there was still quite a few laps left. However, I thought he was meat after hitting the wall the 2nd. time. Then he goes on to slam it again 3 or 4 more times. A truly unbelievable drive. I had to crack up at Joy, DW, and Larry Mac as KB moved in on Jr. the first time for the lead. It was like they were just egging him on to bump him. Could tell they wanted it pretty bad.

Actually, it did not seem like there was much action or passing. Pretty amazing though when they go for such long times without a caution. Get to see those green flag stops. In the past it always seemed that those caused fresh cautions and left a lot of good cars a lap down. This year, not so much.
Most drivers agreed that is was near impossible to pass. Well, tell that to the 1st and 2nd place finishers. Edwards started deep in the pack and as we all know, KB had the penalty and had to drive through the field.
My biggest impression from the weekend was Tony Stewart. Not only did he get pinned to the wall on the first lap, he did the same thing Mikey did last year. Watched it several times and he was hard on the gas while Sadler was sideways in front of him.
Got two laps down, finally fought to get one back and with 50 to go he was in position to get the Lucky Dog again. Hell, he caught up to Kyle and almost got the lap back the hard way. If there had been about 2 more yellows in the last 50 laps, he may have had a shot at the win. At least he remains in the top 10. Summer is coming....time for a Tony roll.

Watched the first 50 laps, took a nap, caught the last 50 laps or so. It is just not like the old days was.
