[TexasRaceLady]

Congratulations, Ryan ! ! !

 

[Ward Burton]

Congratulations to Ryan Newman, although I wish Jeff Burton would of had some drafting help there at the end!

 

[Magnethead]

that was a wild one. Congrats ryan, 2 years is a long dry spell.

I thought Needacheck was finished 43...

Congrats to Ryan Newman on the win and to Reed Sorenson on the top 5.

Congrats to Ryan Newman and the rest of the Dodges. What a surprise, as they've been quiet the entire week. Heck, I was sure the only cars in the top 10 would have been Toyotas and Hendirck cars.

I do wonder if the outcome woulda been different had Tony stayed in front of Newman on that last lap. The inside line sure didn't move, and I think the whole last lap would been different, and who knows what mighta happened. (probably a big wreck instead....)

Congrats Ryan... no more dry spell

I don't understand Tony's move. I don't know if he moved down to block Kyle or thought he'd get the final push from Kyle and didn't realize the outside line was the one with the steam. Bad move. Very disappointing, you can tell he was too.

Honestly, I think it might've been the latter. Hoping that he and his teammate could get a head of steam and keep up or pass the outside lane. It couldn't have been an attempt to block Kyle, he was too far back to even block.
