I get that you can't control the rain...

But how can you have the race before the final Chase race end after only completing part of it.  Can you imagine the NFL ending the NFC championship game with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter?  It's insane.  You have all the drama in the world, you have all your fans excited, the drivers are pumped...and you can't even get a full race in.

Here are just a couple options they could have done:

1.  Finish the rest of the race on Monday
2.  Don't start the race on Sunday night...run it all on Monday
3.  If rain is in the forecast, announced that we are going to run the race, but it is going to only be 200 laps.
4.  If you can't finish the race Sunday, let all the drivers still in the Chase have a 75 lap sprint on Monday.  The top 3 drivers advance along with Gordon.

Anything is better than just canceling a race in the middle of it.  So anti-climactic.  I just don't get why NASCAR can't get these things right.  Even the winner of the race sounds disappointed in the post race interview.  Unbelievable.

It's completely insane. Brian France is complete garbage and we should boycott until he resigns.

Week in and week out there are lots of empty seats at every venue. I went to bed last night 100 laps in and I am so glad I did.
You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

I agree Alan.  Only thing I say is you can't start the race then have the, come back the next day.  That is bad for engines to be at full song then try and get it back going the next day.  They should have never started this yesterday.   Should have raced today.  No way you can have that type of race be decided by Mother Nature.  But nascar got exactly what they were looking for and why it took so long to get the track cleared.  They manipulated that race last night

SORRY   STATE   nascar  is in especially the last few months. They never should have started the race
but i think until a few of these larger teams actually go under financially, the system will
stay the same. The  drivers are a bunch of spoiled NON athletes also for the most part and
they really don't get the idea of TEAM. There are a few i really like JJohnson mostly
 class act, but i never was a GORDON fan most likely because i wasn't big into nascar when
he was at his best, but really if he is the CHAMP this year to me i don't see it, KIND of like
the NFL handing a super bowl to PEYTON MANNING  i don't think so..   SORRY FOR THE LONG POST

It's logistics. The simple fact is Nascar is a driving circus and the Championship week has HUGE media obligations. They knew it was next to impossible to leave Phoenix late Monday and fill all obligations for Miami Sunday. I agree they could have done something but what they did was within the rules. Weather killed it. They run that race in the desert because the chances of what happened are so slim. Horrible luck, end of story. I think a factor as well and if you're honest you can likely admit...They ended up with the 4 they were going to end up with if it ran the distance anyways.

Hasn't hurt my enthusiasm at all. Bring on Sunday. Never been so pumped for a race. 18 or 24 and I cash LARGE. Especially 24...

I turned a decent profit. Gordon had a solid finish. The #18 was a true deserving Champion. The right guy won, Thanks for the memories Jeff. I'm now a Kyle Busch fan...Gordon will be missed. A living legend.

Kyle Busch is the best in the business. Has been for a while, The crash was the best thing that ever happened to him. His new found maturity will lead to him taking over the sport. Welcome to...

THE KYLE BUSCH ERA!
