Please. There was nothing dramatic about Eury Jr. keeping Earnhardt out on the track too long, because as soon as he did it, I already knew that it was going to screw him. To me, it was probably the worst call I've seen a Crew Chief make in at least 5 or 6 years, because there was absolutely NO logic in keeping him out there. Even if the caution didn't come out, it already screwed him anyway. No, the only drama I found in that race was making sure nobody got seriously injured in the wreck, and wondering if Ambrose could get around Smoke to challenge Busch for the lead, because it'd become painfully obvious that Stewart didn't have anything for him.

I found plenty of excitement during the Cup race. If Jr being held out on the track too long isn't drama, what is?

It's official, I want Carl Edwards to win the championship. At least some of my drivers ended up finishing well. I thought Newman finished 26th?
