    I thought these guys were "professionals"?

    You're running 22nd and you can't avoid a crash with one lap to go?

    I think relaxing the bump drafting rule and the 3 attempts at a green finish are creating an overload of red mist.

    I have to admit the last lap was fun.

    But, I have to also wonder why they had to run the other 499 to get to it.

    Good race though....

    So why do they run any lap prior to the last in any race??

    This was another great automobile race. As much as I hate to admit this, that is what makes NASCAR the best racing to watch for any race fan.

    I am impressed with Dale Jr's moves, and I am impressed with McMurray, just like Emmo at the Indy 500, real men can cry. Nice job JM!!

    Good to see Jamie win, he did a great job with help from Biff at the end. Harvick looked unstoppable.

    I quit watching the series in the seventies, and I'll likely resume watching it about the same time I start watching pro wrestling (this despite knowing that the drivers are very skilled and talented).

    Another Daytonner 520 Debacle in the books and while some
    are amused and call this great racing, it was one embarrassing
    gaffe after another which has sent the NASCAR spin
    machine into overdrive.

    Between the self-inflicted gaffe of the track that
    bills itself as the "World Center of Racing" which
    hasn't been repaved since 1979 (how is that possible?)
    and the "best drivers in the world" who can't help slamming
    into eachother within 20 laps of the finish all in the name
    of "close racing", even hardcore NASCAR fans are admitting
    it was a joke.

    6h:13m to cover 520 miles, that's an average speed of
    84.828.

    ^^^^the racing was great. I've seen F1 drivers run into each other for no obvious reason too ;)

    as for the track, not being completely repaved for 30+ years is ridiculous, and totally inexcusable for a track of that size, speed, and fame. Not to mention it gets used A LOT, year round.

    Not repaved since 1976. The final patch material was Bondo.

    It was a great race, fun to watch. There is no racing series except maybe drag racing where drivers do not at some point run into each other for no reason, like Hamilton rear ending Raikkonen in the pits. I did not see the finish as a joke, and I have been following NASCAR since the 1970s. A cut tire, or a side draft can cause many problems on high speed ovals. I certainly don't think there is any one series where it can be claimed that they have the best race drivers in the world. They all have the great, the mediocre, and the why are they heres.

    During driver interviews at the 500, they all voiced that they hoped that the track would NOT be repaved, and if it were, that the new surface would have limited adhesion. Why? Most of them enjoy driving the track in its current bumpy condition, one compared the track to dirt track racing. Unfortunetely the recent Florida rains have pushed up the resurface schedule to this fall/winter.
