The end was anti-climactic but it was a good race behind Dixon.

Totally agree if they were gonna throw caution shoulda been done right after Hunter-Reay tapped the wall....then could've been a shoot out!!! Instead u throw it with 2 laps left... Very lame yellow ending-I agree!!

The debris was on the front straight for near 10 laps....confirmed by cameras and noted by announcers. The piece was even kicked up by the wind/wheel and moved around. Officials are very fortunate a car did cut a tire down and into the wall or other cars with possible serious injuries. I was in near dis-believe they were not calling the yellow earlier. My main concern was for safety but we would also had a shoot-out for the finish with the re-start. Very poor decision-making by race officials IMO.
