Not Ranked
Wayne,
I thought the three best cars were Bush, Kane, and Montoya. Bush had the best car all day on the short runs and then Kane and Montoya would catch and pass him. In this situation where there were only a few laps left, I felt Bush would win and he did a good job.
As for the Chevies, I think they just had to much tilt built into the wheels. Even the back ones were wearing out the inside of the tires where they had tilted them in. A bad miscalculation on the part of Childress and Hendrick teams. Look at Jeff Gordon. He was running 3rd and they had just said he had the fastest car out there and all of a sudden he is in the pits and laps down. Jimmy Johnson had the same problems but I think he took it easier on his tires than the others. He saw what was going on and decided to get the best finish he could and not wreck.
And there were lots of empty seats. And I think there will be for quite a while to come. NASCAR has ruined their racing with all of their have to control everything from the car to the springs and etc.
