I watched only the last 10 laps of the race. In that time I saw 2 'big ones' and DW cackling like a hyena after one of them. I was glad Dillon won rather than Hamlin. Dillon visited Jimmy McEleath during a NASCAR swing through Texas a few years back. They made each other's day. I will never forget that. But not long after the checker fell I turned it off. Dillon did bump Almirola but with these restrictor plate races, had Dillon, or anyone else lifted off the throttle they'd be shuffled back 20 positions before you can say boogityboogityboogity, hence the big one.

I've been a race fan for over 50 years. It hurts to see one sprint car junked as a result of a flip. To see more than a couple dozen cars wadded up and I'm headed for the exit. If I have nothing on the agenda I will tune in on the Atlanta race, or the first real race of the NASCAR cup season.
