First I want to say how much I wish NASCAR would have gone ahead and replaced the wing with the spoiler for this race instead of waiting for Martinsville. I think, if the drivers try to run smart, the racing back in the pack would have been better. Since I have DirectTV, I watched most of the race on the Dale Earnhardt Jr channel. Once he got moved back into the pack, due to a bad 1st pit stop decision, it was clear this package was not good for cars 6th in line and farther back. Jr struggled continually with lanes that would stall and cars that wouldn't suck up.
Fortunately, no one caught Jr up in their wreck. Fortunately NASCAR extended the green/white/checker rule to allow for a green flag finish. This thinned allowed Jr to make that bold move from 10th to 2nd on the final lap. Had it not been for a little bump that got his car loose breaking from the pack entering 3, Jr might have had the momentum to get next to McMurray. For a brief moment I thought I saw a 3 on that car.
