Not Ranked
I personally don't see any reason to talk about what Kyle almost did because, given the same situation in the first 2 races, I could have done it. NO ONE raced him in truck. Every single truck he came on pulled over. No one tried to fight to stay on the lead lap. In the Nationwide race, Matt Kenseth lifted while still in the tri-oval and let him go. Kyle had time to get back to the outside in front of Kenseth before going into turn 1 early in the race. No one drove hard to try to keep from being lapped and just pulled over and let him go. Not impressive to me. I have not yet watched the racing from Cup, so I don't know if he actually raced for his 'almost' win or not, but I was not impressed with the other 2. It was almost as if everyone out there had already relegated themselves to not being able to beat him. I got so bored with the Nationwide race that we went and browsed the souvenir trailers while listening to the race. At least it was something to do.
They need to somehow reward for every lap led, not just 1 led and most led. Somehow inspire teams to race each other throughout the race, not just in the last 10 laps.
