But, it's just more evidence that the best car doesn't always win ... and, if Tony had won, some could argue that it was based on luck as well because of what happened with Vickers, Kurt Busch, Johnson, and, of course, Dale Jr earlier in the evening.

I think it's hardly fair to rate his performance based on this run. Sure, it was a Childress car, but you've got to keep in mind that not only was it a brand new race team, but as of right now, it's only a part-time one at that.

He didn't have one of the best cars all day, but he could have had his first win Sunday night at Charlotte in the Sprint Cup Series. Kasey Khane's victory was based on luck. He was at the right place at the right time and remained #1 after Tony's incident. But the good thing is, Stewart always has a car capable of winning. Another thing is that Kasey won a non points race and managed to win one that did count for points right away! How come Jr. can't do it? I feel like Tony Stewart was robbed!

I can't recall a race with more unassisted leader wrecks. Talk about a bad omen. On another note...isn't there something else Schrader could be doing that would be a little more productive than his racing? What a maylay. I can’t recall a race with more unassisted leader wrecks.

On another note…isn’t there something else Schrader could be doing that would be a little more productive than his racing?

In fact, up until that first caution, I was actually sitting there trying to figure out how I was going to make it through all 600 miles, but then it was like the switch just flipped on that race, and it was pretty exciting from there on out. I definitely thought the car seemed more racey. Sure, guys could start to pull away when they were out front, but it wasn't impossible to catch back up to them, or pass them for that matter.

I was prepared for another snoozefest at another intermediate track, but this race had everything, even the ability of the Sprint Cup car to race for the lead. I don't know if this new-found raciness of the car will last long after the new restrictions go into effect, but it was good seeing a great race on a track type that was anti-new car in previous races this season. I hope that is a sign of good things to come Again I think your rating is accurate.
