NASCAR wrecked half of those cars by waiting to throw the yellow. Everyone from third on back was still hammer down because they were fighting for a finish. By the time they "froze the field", 10+ cars were wrecked.

Yeah, Mark, etc., got screwed, but from a business perspective, NASCAR gets what they wanted - domination of the sports highlight reals for the next few days, plus plenty of pics in the newspapers.

NASCAR wants these big crashes - make no mistake about it, they have rehearsed various scenarios time and again, and probably even talked about what they would do in the likely event of a crash on the last half of the last lap.

Sadly, I agree. And one day, somebody will get seriously hurt. You would think they would have learned from Earnhardt's death.

Wanting crashes is one thing, but allowing the final results to be totally skewed by a last stretch crash smacks of pro wrestling.

Greg Biffle ran a great race, didn't do anything stupid, and he goes from 4th to 25th because Kyle Busch is an absolute moron who can't stay on the course. Throw the yellow immediately, as has should have been done, and many top teams and sponsors are smiling instead of pissed.

Nascar blew this one. See the photo cap series above...they were wrecking coming out of Turn 4...even before pit road entrance...the YELLOW should have flown as shown in Pics 1 and 2 - Mark was in the lead when the wreck started...Clearly Nutscar blew it.
