And... Jeff loses it coming to the finish line... That was nuts. Nearly had a heart attack with that finish. Him and Mark Martin worked so well all race.

I only caught the last 50 or so laps, and even then I really wasn't paying attention because of the Hornets game, but I did watch the last 5 laps. Jeff should have won that race, but Mark couldn't keep on his bumper.





I really wish Mark could have kept pushing, Jeff would have won. But I'm glad to atleast get a good run, he needed it.

Yeah, Dale Jr nailed Mark's left quarter panel so it got him all out of shape.

Lol it was great, great for Nascar too. A basically no name (but the Nascar fan knows how hard Smith works and how solid he's been the past two years, this has been building up for a while) driver wins the race, and holds off one of Nascars stars. Smith actually won that race, he didn't just luck into it. Then two of Nascars premier drivers gets into it after the race, pure entertainment and that will be sure to draw the eyes of some people. Great finish!

Completely agree with everything you said.

Jeff had a fast car at the All-Star race but it all went wrong with the last pit stop when Jimmie Johnson decided to run over a few of Jeff Gordon's pit crew guys.

I didn't get to watch too much of the race, but I know he was running 2nd at one point in time.

What a finish...wow.

600 miles and it comes down to Jr and Hamlin running out of gas. Wish Jr could have won it.

Stenhouse Jr in his first race finished 11th, impressive.

Jeff, 20th...sigh.

At least Joey Logano got 3rd out of the deal, I was happy to see that.

Luck...lol

Hate to see fuel cost Jeff a potential top 5 finish. He could have placed like 4th...

I don't get how he ran out though, he hit the pits during that caution when really no other leader did. Were they just worried about it going into overtime so they felt he had to come in? Same finish regardless.

I think going out late actually hurt him today. It was hotter and the track was more slick. I think he'll have a pretty good car for tomorrow's race or I at least hope. I'm not giving up on this new combination yet, I still think they are both adapting to each other.

Sadly, I won't get to see tomorrows race.
