Any thoughts on the race?

I enjoyed everything except the fuel mileage issues. There isn't a whole lot that they can do, but I would give about anything to just see these drivers be able to go all out at the end, without having to worry about running out of fuel, especially when the Chase come around.

Regan was doing a good job; he is a very underrated driver. I have to admit, I wouldn't mind Dale being out for a few more races, so Regan coul show what he's made of, and perhaps score a good ride in the future. Dale is obviously out of contention this year and has no future ride worries, but Regan's future is totally up in the air at the moment. The guy just needs a chance.

Congratulations to MWR

three wins for Clint Bowyer

-nice-

even though Brad got his points lead cut in half, it was fun to watch him running as the lap leader flying the Blue Deuce proud as any American could be. He looked kinda bummed after the race, but he has no easy task taking on HMS and JGR

Kyle looked like he was having fun, and he looked cool in his post race interview

Aric Almirola did a good job in the 43 car for Richard Petty Motorsports, with a solid 12th place finish

I would rather see Junior retire than to suffer another concussion. He may be the kind of guy who meets this critera, just as former driver Ray Evernham was when he quit driving

It was fun watching Regan Smith being able to run what should be one of NASCAR's better race cars. Apparently Regan said he may have over-revved the engine. That could be his fault or the technicians fault for not having a properly adjusted rev-limiter, although a rev-limiter is most accurate when the tires are hooked up to the pavement, he could have spun the tires leaving pit road, or on a re-start. I bet he's anxious to give it another try.

It wasn't too bad. My Nationwide driver (who runs in some Cup races, like Charlotte) had good lap times after the first bit but could gain track position and my Cup driver was 9th at the end, but a lap down. The small number of cars on the lead lap stood out to me. Regan Smith may have over-revved it, but to make the top-10, even though I'm no fan of his, was pretty good. He did good, then goofed up his engine.

Outside of plate races, I've never found any race to be boring. 43 fast cars have a 500 mile race. There is hardly a scenario that could produce boring.

Brad K is for real. That's what stood out. He CAN win this thing.

Yeah, I guess. We'll never know.

Tony - Racing is about getting to point B before others. Drivers/Teams should sabotage their day and their season just to mash the gas?

Regan was drivin like no tomorrow. Hats off to him for his effort. Hope to see more of the same next week. I find this effort of teams to do a fuel mileage run totally boring. Laying back is not racing! Gas is on the right people, use it. Slowing down for laps just to finish is not racing. Mash the Gas!!! JJ laying back is reason enough for me to dislike him and this method of racing. Dale SR and guys like the Silver Fox never thought to race like this sh*t. True racers wouldn't get caught dead driving like that!

I thought it was a great race with some shortfalls of drivers efforts. Kyle Busch was awesome and closing at the end, he's not a fuel mileage racer. Went all out and had to pit for fuel to finish 5th, a racer that stands not for finishes, but racing til the end! Run hard til the checkers or wreckers!

Any Thoughts,...Casey Caine has really improved

And if Jr. had drove his own car,..Higher Beings would still say, maybe you should wait out a few..

They don't use rev-limiters for every track?

As a crew chief you don't let your guy run out of gas with 58 laps left. I can see it if they are only a couple of laps short and are trying to stretch it.

I was glad to see the #15 win.

I forgot it was on until I flipped the channels and saw them working on someone's tire. Then I kept on flipping channels. I didn't care to watch it if Dale Jr wasn't racing.
