Admit it
Was the ending of today's race one of the weirdest NASCAR things you've ever seen, or what?
Scratch that. "Or what" isn't an acceptable answer. You had:
* Tony Stewart leading the race, running out of gas on lap 266-and-a-half and still winning the thing.
* Jeff Gordon's car just up and quitting on him.
* Kasey Kahne spinning himself out on the way to get gas.
* Jimmie Johnson missing pit lane (because of Kahne's spin), nearly running over Kahne on his way into and out of his pit (because he was impatient), then getting nailed for speeding on the way out (because ... I can't explain that last one).
* Dale Earnhardt Jr. turning a perfectly good top-5 finish into a perfectly average 10th.
* Both a Casey Mears (second) and Dale Jarrett (fourth) sighting.
Do I have that about right? And does Jeff Burton really have a 69-point lead in the points race?
Like I said ... weird.

Weirdness abounds. Imagine a poll before the chase asking what top ten would be more likely after Kansas--the one that we actually have or the reverse of the one we have. The latter would have won hands down, I reckon!
Weirdness is cool. Viva la chase!

With Mark Martin within striking distance of winning everything with no wins look for wins to count for more points next year.
Not that I have a problem with him winning.
