-$30 for the race.

Pretty damn good entertainment for $30 bucks.

Damn Newman beating Bowyer by 1 spot was a $430 swing

The fuel mileage winners is really a shit way to win but it is what it is.

The guys that pull it off just show that you don't have to be the fastest car all the time to win.

Huge strategy involved now days.

agreed. too huge. I didn't mind when a handful of races a year came down to fuel strategy but this entire season has come down to it. I just don't think that #24 car should be following Menard to the finish line. Gordon must be sick. It shuck up the ENTIRE field this race. And next week is Pocono so you can start counting down the fuel mileage again

Willy its the tires.

They don't fall off enough.

The four tire stop anymore is almost non existent.

They have to make the tire wear more and they'll all but eliminate the fuel strategy wins.
