Caution near the end for McMurray running over Jr on his way to pit
road, leaders pit and some stayed out. Rain came with 20 some to go and
2's strategy to stay out got them a win.
It was a decent raise up until the end... rain is sort of a lousy way to
finish a race. Good luck for the #2 and #55 though, that will help them
out a ton.

Plus one on that. Mikey is having him a rough stretch and that finish
should cheer him up a little.

Re: WTF HAPPENED?!
There was some follow the leader early on with 88 leading the pack.
Then the 20 got out front and led for about 50-60 with no one catching
him. At the end though the 48 and 20 were looking to have quite a bit
of a race for the finish until that caution and then the rain.
Like I said, the rain ruined it. I think it would have been a good race
at the end between Johnson and Stewart.

What makes you think that JJ and TS would have made it back to the
front with only 23 laps left? Don't remember where JJ came out at,
after taking fuel only, but TS came out in 14th place after fuel and 2
tires.

Re: WTF HAPPENED?!
Guess I misspoke. The rain AND late caution ruined it. ;-)
Although I think Johnson could have gotten up to the front... he was in
8 or 9th after the caution and he has a knack for getting through
traffic. 20 laps is a short time but it might have been interesting.

8 cars stayed out, there is no reason why KuB couldn't have won the
race under green with only 23 laps left.. We've seen how hard it is to
pass a car out front with a clean track. Hell, he was holding off
Robby who had 4 fresh tires.

Re: WTF HAPPENED?!
As an 88 fan, that's what stuck out in my mind from the early laps.
Mears did lead for a while, my apologies.

Not likely. With Stewart taking 4 and Johnson 2 on the last stop,
the chance of Stewart catching back up to Johnson was small.
Of course, the rain made it moot anyway.

Mikey has always been a 'glass half full' kinda guy ;)
He was celebrating his 1st Top5 & T10 of '08 & of course
rain had nothing to do with his finish!
CRU who wonders where Buffy has been in '08?
