I do agree that there was no way that Windom would have pulled off a clean slide job on him. So, maybe he just should have just taken what he could. However, it appears that Windom is done with his slide right before they make contact. There's some slightly thicker (for lack of a better term) dirt where he is running. Also, Jarrett is off the cushion right before contact. Almost as if he's getting an angle off the final corner. If he's on the cushion, I think they get close, but don't touch. I think both could have done something different, especially Windom, and this wouldn't have happened. They're racers, going for the win every single time they're on the track. That's why we're fans...

WOW! I must've watched the wrong video, because the video I watched was 100% Windom. The leader didn't do a thing wrong....Honestly, how would the leader know that a car behind him is planning to pull an ill-fated slide job? What could he have "done differently"???? What would you have the leader do? Move out of the second place car's way????
