Cheating scandal overshadowing the race itself

Michigan

Maybe it is just as well that NASCAR put this ugly business front and center right at the start and hopefully others will learn from
the mistakes of others and these things will not continue to happen in other races throughout the season. It sends a message but
the other race teams need to be listening.

Congrats to Kevin Harvick (though I'd rather have seen Mark Martin win).

Great finish! Clint Bowyer (#07) crossed the finish line on his roof and on fire.

It's Daytona!

Glad to see Waltrip finished near the back..

I've never been more angry at the end of a race than watching that crybaby punk Harvick beat one of the classiest in Mark Martin.

Agreed! And then to hear Martin summarize the whole thing by saying, "We just didn't get the job done" Classy guy that other drivers should try to model.

That's the whole reason why Martin is still driving--he came back because of the class/quality of young drivers in the sport today...

I'm no racing fan and I wouldn't even call it a sport, but that finish was outstanding. Two guys going down to the wire and the rest of the field literally explodes behind them. You just can't make it up. Is every week that exciting in NASCAR?

No, not every week. But the 4 plate races (Daytona x2 and 'Dega x2) are usually pretty exciting towards the end. Some of the short track races are as well, especially Bristol. The 1.5 tracks are generally becoming a snore to watch though.

Yeah most of them are pretty boring. Supposedly the COT is supposed to make the racing much better. It can't get much worse since it has been pretty God-awful the past 7-10 years.

I still like to use it for my Sunday afternoon napping background though.

Pick your poison...4 road courses and round-e-rounds from ½ mile to 2.66 miles long.

ANYONE who is a true nascar fan knows that finish was the worst BS every seen.
How many races have threw the caution on last lap?
Well I can t say exactly,but it has happened many times!
The fix was in on this race. Anything to promote one of the new PUNKS!
Yes im a fan of some of those punks,but RULES are RULES!
Right away talking , woow Boyer crash & burned across finish,WHAT,
Throw the caution and that would NOT have happened.
Sorry for the rant,just very disturbing for a true long time nascar fan.

I can only talk about what happened, not what might have been.

For a better "what might have been" rant than your's read this.
