Default Re: Daytona at Night

Tony Stewart was upset after the race, saying he doesn't want to "win that way". Sort of a downer for him, and he didn't seem very enthusiastic about the win. I think he thought he wrecked Kyle, but as the commentators said, and replay shows, Tony was holding his line, Kyle went across his nose. Shame that it ended this way, would have been cool to see them door-to-door at the line.

I'm also glad Kahne was ok. Watching the replay, he's lucky the back of Kyle's car didn't break through Kahne's windshield.

Also a great example of how a more recent rule that NASCAR implemented may have saved some serious injuries. When an accident occurs, the yellow flag flies immediately, and the field is frozen. I can't imagine what would have happened 10 years ago with a wreck like this just a few hundred yards from the finish, and guys holding their foot to the floor to try to pass crashed cars.
