That was a mess. They throw a caution early on on the race for a brake duct hose and let it go green when debris is scattered all over the track. /scratches head.
 
Congrats to Carl Edwards for the win and Brad K for the Championship!
 
Unfortunately for Danica, another crash that wasnt her fault causing her to lose laps. Had that not happened, she would of finished strong on the lead lap.

Break from football as I was reading some post race tweets.

From PRN.....

While I was in VL, KyBusch dropped multiple F-bombs on PRN during post-race - our Engineer bleeped it out, saved Kyle a lot of $$!

Apparently quite upset with Edwards/NASCAR over the last restart.

Yeah, Carl sure got a good jump on that last restart...but he sure had a fast car
 
Heard he complained that Edwards jumped the start. Hey ya whiner the leader sets the pace!!!

Ptrick would have had a good finish if she hadn't lost those laps from getting damage fixed, towards the end of the race she was running the same lap times as logano was in 6th

Never been happy over a Ford win but I was today!

The leader sets the pace, once they are past a certain marker on the track. apparently Kyle thought he jumped the mark. I have no idea if Carl jumped that line or not. Frankly, even being a Busch fan, I don't think it mattered. Carl's car was just faster at that point of the race.

With that said, Carl seemed to be dodging the question and never said that he didn't jump the start. Take that how you may.

She needs to learn to not get in positions where there are crashes, if she could get up front she would avoid the mid-pack beating and banging.

As far as I'm concerned that is racing, leader has the choice, if they didn't wave off the start then all is good.
 
He sure did get going quickly but I'd think that's preferred over playing brake tag and causing a huge pile up behind the leader.
 
The same people that think Carl cheated are those that thought there was nothing wrong with Shrub going below the yellow line at 'Dega.
 
Speed Report clearly showed Edwards within the red line zones.
