I've watched all the races since 1964 or so and this was one of my favorite finishes.
I'm not much for fuel saving and such but the race was won the American way by a American. Hard work, get a break and roll the dice. Cry a bit in the car.
That teams win shouldn't be diminished because of how he won.
It was a perfect race day for us too. After the 500 we raced speedway and my boy won all his races, my daughter was in tears. The "Hillbilly Hotrod" wreckers or checkers and my daughter gets emotional, lol. Pretty cool in small time America. No crashes for us, and the medics didn't have to move all night. Its such a huge contrast a 500 mile race followed by races that last about 48 seconds. It's always my favorite race day.
