Martin got cheated that is all I have to say. The yellow should have been throw when the wreck started. Nascar is not consistant on making calls.

I was pulling for Martin as a sentimental favourite, but was glad to see Happy Harvick eek out the victory.
Others that impressed me with their finishes were Gilliland, Ragan, and front row Joe. It looks like RCR is going to be strong again this year. Other than Busch (glad he didn't win) the Hendrick cars were a non-factor. Over all a pretty good race I thought.

Heh...I didn't know what to think of that ending. By the rules, as I figured them, the yellow should have flew. I was hoping for Martin for sure.

At least, I was rooting for Martin after my two favorite ponies wrecked with each other. I was looking forward to a Busch/Stewart duel at the end. I think it was obvious that those two were the class of the field.

Plus, I love the way everyone gets alll weird about the Buschs'. I wish Kurt woulda won it.

Yah, usually NASCAR throws the caution even though the field has cleared the wreck, and I get mad, the one time they don't do it, the driver I was pulling for loses, oh well. I was rooting for Mark sinc ehe got into the top five, and was sure he was gonna get it!

I was pulling for Martin as much as anyone, however there was no need to throw the caution. Anyone who wanted the caution thrown just so Martin could win is not a true racing fan.

Feel bad for Martin. I was suprised that Kyle made it to the last lap before he took out half the field. Anyone else agree that he was a weapon all day... if he didnt make so may sudden jerks from the high side to the low side, he probably would've won. He had a great car, but he couldnt handle it.

I am a Stewart fan, not a Kurt Busch fan, but I think Kurt put a little too much blame on himself (for the first time in his life). It was too bad that happened tho, they were definately the 2 cars to beat, but I think Stewart would've had it.

By the rulebook, not a fair ending, but i'm sure Martin wouldnt have wanted to win it that way anyway.

I loved Bowyer's finish. Thats definately a memory that'll stick with him forever.

Anyone else feel like Martin wasn't going to win it while they were under caution?.. It was just one of those things that it just too good to be true for a guy. Too bad.

Screw the wink, I'll expect your resignation from the Imperial Order of the Mexicanna Shack immediately.

And while your at it, throw yourself on your plastic KFC spork.

It looks to me like Harvick was ahead when the 5 starts spinning

Ditto. I would have been the happiest camper around to see Martin win that race but not by getting a caution flag win. It is not clear to me that he was in front when the wrecking started anyway. If you watch the replay he really lost the race when he got loose in the 4th turn. Maybe Harvick took some air off him but it looked to me like he was running a bit higher than normal to try to block and I think that upset the car. If he held his line he might have been able to stay out front.

Anyone who can run down the lead from 5th with one to go is a deserving winner. Congratulations also to Harvick on the Daytona Saturday Sunday double and on RCR for three memorable finishes in the 500.

I also think NASCAR served the fans by not throwing the yellow. Sometimes heat of the moment judgement calls by officials go right after all.

This, ladies and gentlemen, just goes to show the mental deficiencies that can arise from Mexicana Nacho platter deprivation.

Please, someone, get this man some cheese sauce. Stat. Before he gets even MORE delusional.

Seriously though. Upon further inspection, it did look like Harvick was a bit ahead when hell broke loose, so it was his regardless. Sure I was rooting for Martin, but I wouldn't have wanted to take the win from Harvick anyway. He earned it.

Having said that, I do believe in consistency. If the yellow would have flown on the 50th lap, then it should have flown on the last lap as well.

I think you right on with the consistency thing. Earlier yellows were thrown within a second or two of a car losing it.
I still liked the race, although the pre-race was a little long. I was expecting a little more depth with the Benny and Bobby tributes.

Race season is here!! Springs around the corner.

I was there with son in the keech tower near turn one. What a great time, great race and great finish. I was routing for Stewart and was pissed at Busch until I saw the replay when we got home. I'll remember that race for a long time.
