Reality check
The finish of Sunday's Daytona 500 was pretty exciting, and we'll be talking about it a long time. But as ESPN's Rupen Fofaria notes, the 500 was just race 1 of 36. We've got a whole lot of racin' still to go. And don't worry too much about Tony Stewart -- the last time he finished 43rd in the 500, he managed to salvage his season.
Also:
Dustin Long explains how Kevin Harvick came from sixth to first here.
Dustin bravely tries to explain the finish here: "Where is the line between driver safety and fan entertainment?"
The Big Dog ignores physics here. (Just because the field is frozen doesn't mean a pack of cars going 180 is going to, you know, stop.)
The Diecast Dude calls NASCAR "morons," then gets jumped in his own comments section. Ouch.
Kevin Harvick is too old to have a My Space page, but he has one anyway.

O.K. I have had my fill of all the different things that NASCAR should have/could have done. In every scenario Harvick won, and in every scenario Martin won (all depends on who you ask). Bottom line is that NASCAR let them race it to the line. Even if the caution would have come out, like all the experts agree, the melee would have not stopped behind Harvick and Martin, and it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the race...the melee would have ensued regardless
That's RACIN' folks...it's what we hope for every time...a battle to the line. If all people are going to do is complain about being wronged (And the only one who really has a beef would be Martin and he is over it) then maybe a new sport would be best, like golf or bowling. Something with a little less contact.
That being said, Bring on California!! I would love to see another battle coming off turn 4 to the finish, considering we will be in attendance!
