Watching the doge car avoid that Brad K spin/pileup was the most exciting part of the Nascar season so far. I'm pretty sure an audible gasp could be heard at my place as we all held our breath and then we erupted into cheers when he made it through clean. Wow.
Certainly not the best racing we've seen, but I'm extremely happy to see Gordon finally get a win after being so close so many times this year. Harvick's run on the last lap was incredible, the ground he made up in the last half-lap alone borders on insanity.
I don't understand what he was waiting for, but I have to imagine even if there was one more lap, Harvick destroyed his tires just catching Gordon on that last lap. Still, wish he would have gone for it sooner and seen if he could get by the 24.
True, I imagine Gordon was being incredibly careful, making sure he didn't push too far and cost himself the win. Or he could have over-drove his car too much trying to get a lead on Harvick?
Will never understand why people don't like Pocono, seems like an interesting race almost every year, and the shorter length is perfect to me as far as race time goes. Race started a little after 1 and we were on the highway headed home by 4:30 last night.
