Still don't like the racing. Will never like the racing. I don't care if Nemechek wins while Kyle Busch and Johnson go flying, I will NEVER like this style of racing. It's too dangerous because of the vision issues, it's too boring because the cars get very strung out, and its cheapening a good finish by manufacturing a situation like we saw at the end today, which was also not exciting until the finish line/tri-oval area.

Blaney and Cassil should be murdering Kurt Busch right now.

Kurt really ruined a lot of possible cinderella stories. Cassil was running amazingly and he spun him. Keselowski was running great, not to mention its his teammate, and he spun him. And Blaney could have very nearly won this race, and he SPUN HIM. Honestly I dont mind Kurt but what the hell was he on today, he didnt cause this much carnage at Daytona

Another solid finish is what he really needed. Momentum is key at this point in the season I think.

Feel so bad for Blaney, he looked absolutely gutted in that interview like Jr a couple weeks ago at Martinsville.

Amazing run by him at TBR, showing if they have sponsorship they can run with the big names, but it really blows he didnt have anything to really show for it due to the inability of Kurt Busch to ever check up ONCE this entire race.

Like I said, Kurt's been a bitch this year (especially when you're listening to his scanner), and I like him.

Everytime I miss a race it ends up being ridiculously badass. I think I should start missing races more often. :(

+1 This perfectly sums up my feelings on this kind of racing. And really, it feels much more dangerous to me than the standard pack racing because of the constant pushing and shoving combined with a total lack of visibility. It makes it completely impossible to make safe avoidance maneuvers or even just check up a little if someone in front of you makes an unexpected lane change.

great picture, but we used to have a whole pack of 30 odd cars come across the line like that, and race like that for the entire race. anyone who says this is more exciting or less contrived is kidding themselves.

Actually, I don't mind this kind of racing. While it's not the 30 car packs we're used to seeing, it's still produces a lot of competition. Just like the old style, there are still just as many cars that have a shot of winning a plate race on any given day. Nobody is going to convince me that any of the plate finishes we've seen the last two seasons haven't been exciting.

I'm sure everybody on here would rather watch this kind of racing than a 500 mile race at Pocono.
