I am a NASCAR fan and I really enjoyed this years Daytona 500, however, I am getting increasingly frustrated with the boring finishes.
Speedweeks was great with the time trials, the Gatorade shutouts and the media build up to the big race. I love the newer faster cars with the bigger restricter plates and better acceleration at high speed. The new drivers and teams made for lots of pre-race drama.
The race was exciting, 16 leaders, 42 lead changes, 150 + laps with only 2 yellow flags and then the wheels fell off. 6 in the last 50 with 2 in the last 10! 5 of the last 10 laps were under caution. BORING! I would much rather see a long run to the finish.
Congratulations to Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch and the Penske team on winning. The last 2 laps at least were exciting.
