What a "fantastic" end to the 500

[hanginitout]

Nascar is in trouble and they know, I have not watch a full race in years.. maybe 20 laps here and there.. To many people with there finger in the cookie jar, trying to please Gov, EPA, bleeding hearts, and others. its time is limited.

They crashed thurs night and they let them race back to the checkers. This wrek was over a mile away and they throw the yellow. They have way to much control of things.

Good race, deserving winner, poor choice to end under yellow.

Funny thing is that just this week the fans voted the 1998 Daytona race the greatest of all time. They must have forgot that it ended under yellow as well. And last year's race ended under caution also, both wins by an Earnhardt which sounds about right because most of the time the Earnhardt fans only want to remember what benefits themselves.

Kudo's to you Jay for pointing out the inconsistencies, especially of the Earnhardt fans, both past and present.

Another little tidbit from the 1998 Daytona 500. In Ed Hinton's book about Daytona he pointed out that 2 prominent teams had old ironhead dead (no pun intended) to rights speeding on pit road during his last pit stop which got him out in the lead or very close to the lead. If the correct call was made on that speeding violation we wouldn't have all those fond memories of that touching victory scene on pit road. And that's in addition to the race ending under yellow.

It pretty much all depends whose oxen is being gored as to how one feels about the yellow flag finish.

I stayed home and wasted 3 hrs just to watch a yellow flag be thrown with a 1/2 lap to go. Im done. Maybe there WAS a good reason but good what a let down. Also i noticed a huge section of the front grandstands were blacked out. Is it that bad now where they dont even fill the front stands?

Yet, there are people on this board that complain when a track does a green/white/checker after a yellow comes out on the White Flag lap in a DLM race.....

I have no problem with the yellow flag finish. It is what it is. Joey was going to win regardless IMO. I was bummed that Junior didn't win though. Huge Jr. fan. Even with that mistake on his part, he still finished 3rd. I wish he'd get his championship win. It's one thing I want to see happen.
