The past couple of years there are really only three or four drivers still with a reasonable chance after only about five races.

While there may not have been a ton of passes, at least the cars were closer together than we have seen at other tracks. Thanks!<br /><br />klvalus - That battle between Hornish and Vickers was one of the things that I thought made the finish so interesting. If Vickers hadn't made the pass and Busch would have picked up a position the Chase would look totally different at this point.

I was watching the race and a couple of CFB games at the same time, so I may have missed them, but I don't recall many green flag passes for the lead. Or much passing at all--- except during the restarts.<br /><br />The S Carolina vs Georgia FB game was much more dramatic...lolGene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-86254894973130238832009-09-14T17:47:30.442-05:002009-09-14T17:47:30.442-05:00klvalus - The one thing about the race that got me...klvalus - The one thing about the race that got me were the debris cautions (but they always upset me) every time Kenseth got close to being lapped there was debris somewhere. <br />When you watched the race did you already know how everything turned out? For me, knowing that at the end one bad corner could change an entire season was pretty exciting.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-69702093862248885432009-09-14T11:35:58.520-05:002009-09-14T11:35:58.520-05:00Hey Mayer - Ok, this time I will disagree with you...Hey Mayer - Ok, this time I will disagree with you and give the race a 3-star at best. I did have to watch it a day late so perhaps the fact it was already decided too the edge off for me but I found the racing itself to be pretty boring. Kyle and Vickers were the only ones pushing it except for that brief bit between Gordon and Hamlin. There was little side by side racing except for the back of the pack and everyone seemed to just be playing it safe.<br /><br />I hope Kyle turns it on in the next 10 and Montoya finally starts getting aggressive too. This points racing is killing me!klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.com
