I'm not just saying that b/c JJ won! It was very exciting and interesting throughout most of the race. The Showdown was quite exciting as well, even though Jr. lead the entire race. What a battle b/t Allmendinger and McMurray in the last 8 laps! This was the type of race I've wanted to see all year. The rest of the races had very few cautions too, but not many position changes/battles. This was the BEST race of the year to watch!!!
There have been too many races this year with a dominate driver (or a couple of drivers), very little action and it was mostly b/c of too few cautions to mix up the race. This was an excellent change of pace race. I thoroughly enjoyed this race. I was hoping to see Kasey, JG, MM, or Kyle win a segment to go along with Jimmie's Segment 1 win. After 2 drivers that I dislike won Segments 2 & 3, I was happy to see Dale Jr. take the 4th one. At least 2 HMS drivers took a segment.
Last thing to say, Carl is going to be the best analyst ever when he retires from driving. He has such a great personality and will easily transfer into a commentator when he decides to stop racing.

You should be happy that JJ's crew had to actually push the car the whole length to edge out Hamlin's guys. They didn't need to do that in the other rounds to win.

I agree, great race! And Rick riding on the side of the car was awesome!
The pit challenge was unexpected though, how does the worst crew in the sport win that?
I also agree about Carl. He is by far my favorite NASCAR personality.
