Good finish but, on the whole, restrictor plate racing kind of blows.

16 cautions is way too many for 206 laps, seems like a lot more pushing the car in front of you. Drafting is fine to me, pushing should be limited.

I agree, it was a great finish to a lousy race. NASCAR and the TV announcers seem to equate wrecking to racing.
But it was a great three laps at the end.

Thats when I stopped watching and following at all. Back when Bill elliot and his aero Ford were faster than lightening and crushing everybody...

NASCAR is not stock car racing, which used to be pretty cool.

I don’t know when the change was made, but back in ‘63 I remember Scatback rooflines on the Ford Galaxy 427’s, who took the first five places at Daytona.
