Be interesting to find out why they went single-file with 10 to go and couldn't get back to a pack again when they had earlier.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I'd type my thoughts but I don't have money to buy a new keyboard.

Yes, it's only the last lap that matters but racing was clean and hard most of the time with some "OMG, how did they managed to continue" moments.

BRING BACK THE TANDEM, FFS!

Knew the finish would be a letdown

All those guys that complained last night will immediately get a ban right now. You don't like tandem racing, then this is what you get. This was good ol' 90's pack racing. The leader can stay up front for most of the races, it is difficult to get another line going and make moves. Just like you wanted. In the end they all go single file and are afraid to go down low, all waiting till the last lap when all hell brakes loose and the caution comes out. A classic really if you know your stuff.

It is either this or the stuff from yesterday, if you didn't enjoy Trucks or NNS you should enjoy this.

Congrots to the Mac.

It would have been a good finish if NASCAR hadn't ended the race prematurely.

McMurray winning doesn't bother me. Honestly the finish doesn't bother me, I'm just surprised they didn't get after it. Just lucky the last lap wreck was 2 cars and not 15 or 20. When I saw Dillon spinning back into traffic I knew it wasn't gonna be good.

I enjoy racing where none of the participants have to go to the hospital afterwards, I dunno about anyone else...

Jesus that finish was bullshit. The rear spoiler is just too short, the cars get loose too easily and it doesn't create enough drag which makes the draft less strong. Taller spoiler and bring back the roof wickers and we'll have us a damn good restrictor plate package.

First off, glad to see that Mears and Dillon are alright after that wild two-car wreck. Amazing that Austin Dillon drove away from that after nearly going upside down.

Happy to see Jamie Mac in the winner's circle to cap off a great weekend for Chip Ganassi (with Scott Dixon's IndyCar title from last night).
