Default Daytona last night

looked to see if their was a thread and couldn't find one.

Just wanted to hear other peoples take on the finish. Should the yellow flag have been thrown.

Personally i liked the way they let it play out since the wreck was behind the leaders, and didn't drop it till they past the line. I didn't think dropping the yellow would have prevented any part of the carnage that took place.

if they had thrown the yellow at the MOMENT Bush started to go around Harvick wins...throw it 1/2 second later Martin wins...it was one of the closest finished in Daytona history...I can't stand Harvick but it was a good finish between those two. I'll never understand why they have to tear so much expensive **** up like that every time just to finish a best of 3rd or 4th.

That was a crazy finish. My GF said "I hope something happens like on the movie Cars!" Then sure as **** someone goes across the finish line on their lid.

Tony going to the front, then coming back to the front from dead last was pretty sweet.

Yeah, that **** was insane. I think I heart Nascar now. Completely a Rowdy Burns/Cole Trickle finish.
