What a way to finish... crash the car in front of you and win. WWE has cleaner finishes!

It wouldn't be fair to the people stuck behind the wreck. I mean, yeah, crashing out the cars in front of you, that is just "sport", but the cars behind, that isn't fair. Oddly enough, why don't they count who is where at the beginning of the incident?

Those cars are not finishing the race anyways.

In the well-run era, before Brian, NASCAR started the 500 at Noon, and it was generally long over before the weather in Florida, where it rains in the afternoon, set in. It also practiced the ultra interesting and ultra safe system of racing back to the caution. The 6 hour rain delay and the five minutes of idiotic commentary trying to figure out who was ahead when a caution happened BEHIND them, is the result of these dumb changes.

I wonder if they eventually make it a night race. Seems it's been run at night the past few years after delays.

Wow, glad I missed that ending ...

Wreck the 2 cars (one fairly intentional, the other happened to be there) in front of you and take the Win is just Not right.

It really looked like a Classic Kyle move ... fortunately it wasn't.

Thems' the brakes, or the gas I guess. It only matters who crosses the line first. Not who leads the race before that.

If that were short track speed skating, the first two are screwed still, but the guy who causes it is out too.

Of course, this is the result of NASCAR refusing to admit that races on Super Speedways aren't viable anymore. You don't see Indycar at Daytona with tech to keep them slow.

Does Indy ever throttle back their cars?
