Well, if you include the Winston Open a few years back when he dumped Mike Bliss at the end, it'd be 33%... but still, the point remains.

Not that this matters, but wasnt it changed over to the NExtel open or w.e. when he did that? Not being picky, just thinking out loud and its bugging me not knowin this, haha.

It was, I've just always thought of those races as "The Winston" and "The Winston Open".

Congrats to Vickers!

Good runs for Jr. and Hornish.... Hornish has had some really good runs as of late. :thumbsup:

In the last 6 races Brian Vickers has 1 Win, 2 Top 5's, 5 top 10's. The only finish outside the top 10 is 11th at Watkins Glen.

I really think he is chase bound, assuming nothing out of his control happens. I have been a big Vickers fan since he was a teenager winning the Busch Series championship. :flag:

Actually found that a decent race. Some of the racing at the restarts was incredible!

Nice effort from Mears and a decent run for Bill Elliott :)

What is the rule about passing a car before the line at a restart? When Menard was at the front i think Kenseth blew past him way before the line and nothing was mentioned.

Before the start/finish line, a driver can only pass another driver by the outside (right side). Johnson crossed the line first but he was restarting on the inside.

Actually because of the double-file restarts, there is no passing until after passing the S/F line.

Meh, they should be able to pass before the S/F line. Let 'em go wild.

Great to see Brian finally win one without controversy. He's really matured into a smooth, calculative driver over the years and such a wheelman on the big tracks. :D
