    No, NASCAR showed its stupidity by not throwing a caution, that was KB's race, no ifs, ands, or buts! Everybody had slippage from the 87 car, KB even said to tell NASCAR on Lap 2, so did Brad. Brad did not take out KB, he got in the damn oil that KB had slowed for. Listen to all the drivers after the race, if was a total FUBAR by NASCAR!

    Both Kyle & Jeff Gordon have had more than their "fair share" of bad luck this season....

    Junior did question why they didn't throw the flag because of the oil - I didn't know it was from the #87 car though....

    Cazz is probably right about NASCAR and the caution flag (lack of), but, the 2 and the 9 "fought with what they had", on that last lap, and that was an epic battle the likes of which we wish we saw more often. The only thing that comes close (that I've seen) is Ricky Craven and Kurt Busch at Darlington, 2003! I liked BK's comments after the race too.

    From my Race Buddy, never watch a race on TV, they are 5-seconds behind the action.

    Go to 720HD, listen to Kyle, he slowed for the oil, the other two did not.

    I think you're spot on here....Everyone had to deal with the oil - but the #9 and #2 rose to the top.

    Agree about the oil, but as a 2 wheel race fan that only watches 2 NASCAR races a year (both the road courses), it was entertaining to watch the last few laps.

    The NASCAR on track workers were asked about oil during the last couple laps. They said the track was clean. Therefore there was no oil!! Just a great exciting finish. There were several disappointed drivers at the end, but crybaby had to leave without any comment.

    What I meant by no oil is that if the NASCAR workers don't see it that (in effect) there is none. They can't throw a caution without something to base it on and drivers don't count because they lie just like when they scream debris when it favors them.
