It was an interesting race. Some new faces - or at least different
faces - running up front. Paul Menard had a good run going until he
got clipped in the tri-oval and went for a spin. Still made it back
up to 14th. Mikey leading late and then got freight trained. and a
last lap big one.

0 Woulda. Coulda, Shoulda. Leading late then dropped back in the
pack during green flag pit stops. Ended up in 10th.

+1. The big one waited for the last lap. 14 cars involved including
Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne. Don't know how many of them could
have continued, but I would think at least 6 would have been out if it
were earlier in the race, so I'm taking a point.
