Exactly!! Record number of cars finished all 500 miles w/ 2 cars only 1 lap back and another only 2 laps. All of this w/ very few cautions including one segment going ~120 laps without a caution. Best part is NO LUCKY DOG rule. I'm willing to bet DW left that stat out because MASSCAR couldn't accomplish that in their wildest dreams.
Quite honestly I find this GWC conversation happening so quickly to be utterly ridiculous considering how action packed the entire race was. That somehow a yellow finish overrides anything that happened laps 1-199. But if you feel that strongly in GWC, there will be a series come through later this summer where fans get excitement the first 2 laps and the last 5. Plenty of time to visit w neighbors, grab concessions and souvenirs. When you hear a caution though check the scoring boards. Dramatic increase in chance of a new leader...
