Thanks for the title change Chet, and the pin, I assume Mortal.

Had they not had the string of cautions at the end he should have been fine anyway. The car went off as the clouds went away and the track temperature rocketed. He was strong enough in shorter runs and early in the race that a top 3 he had should have been comfortable.
Kasey Kahne has called out NASCAR on the debris caution, saying it wasn't justified.
The final wreck, the commentators blamed Elliot Sadler, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. posted in the iRacing forum saying it was Ryan Newmans fault. Newman came up into the side of Jr on the exit of T4 and knocked the valve stem off of the left rear tyre. By the time Jr got to turn 1, it was flat and no matter what happened, Sadler was going to run into the back of Jr anyway. So not as much Sadlers fault as it seemed from the TV pictures.
Mark Martin winning the title finally would be awesome. But it is kinda depressing to see that the only drivers who can consistently run with the Hendrick power house are Montoya and Stewart.
