That's a classic Daytona 500 finish. Poor Mark Martin. Wish he coulda won.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Happy just said on MRN that he thinks he might have broken his hand because he punched the mirror (by accident) when he crossed the finish line because he was so excited. LOL

Kyle Busch went from 2 to 24. I remember watching him race in the Craftsmen truck series when he was 14 before they disallowed minors from racing. I bet he wishes he went for it instead of playing it safe.

They should've thrown the caution as soon as they started wreckin.

Great finish!

Also nice to see that Toyota wasn't ever even a factor in the race. (Except all the prerace hype)

I think Nascar made a good decision to not throw the yellow flag and let Martin and Harvick go balls out for the win.

I disagree. Wasn't that the whole point of changing the system, so you don't race back to the caution. Maybe I'm being biased because I wanted Martin to win, but I still feel that it should have been waived. That's one thing in NASCAR, they're not consistent.

They weren't racing back to the caution. They were racing to the finish. There was no danger of them coming across any wreckage on the track because they had a couple of miles to slow down before they encountered any debris. I'm glad NASCAR let them race to the finish.

ETA - It would have been completely different at Martinsville or any other shorter track.

They may have purposely hung back.

Agreed,
I am still a bit sad.
I like "old" Mark Martin.[Birthdate Jan 9, 1959 ]

{He is close to my age} I am a little older.
