Dear Brian France, thanks for destroying the sport. What's the point of starting a race that can't be finished, what's the freaking point? Why can't you run an extra 2 laps for a good finish, and if I was Robby Gordon I would be cussing out Nascar and asking for my trophy from Canada. They wouldn't let him regain his spot under caution there, but Biffle can run out of fuel and win. What a freaking joke. Why start the race. I left home thinking it was over after the hurricane storm hit the track as 80% of the fans did. This is absolutely disgusting. Why can't you run 2 more freaking laps for a race. I always thought Nascar scheduled a race with the intent to run the full distance. It's completely absurd to run the rest of that race. Bowyer should file a protest along with Tony Stewart because they were screwed out of wins today.

If that idiot hadn't have spewed debris all over the track Biffle would have ran out of fuel and Bowyer would have won. That's total BS when will that dumb*** France get fired, he's a disgrace to the sport.

This is FV's girlfriend Irish Angel! When did they finish the race? I watched most of the race through all of the rain delays, thought they were drying the track again, and then I saw that it was no longer on, so I assumed that they called it, since it was more than half way, and because of the rain!

About 10 minutes ago on ESPN 2. I left because when they showed the track it was pouring so hard you couldn't see anything. The stupid BS is that they shortened it 60 laps to go and 5 or 6 chase drivers all wrecked and Stewart was absolutely pissed from what I understand. Then with about 3 to go Montoya blew a tire all over the track and instead of doing a green white checkered they stopped the race. And Biffle ran out of fuel coming to the checkered and finished 4th but Nascar said the field was frozen so it didn't matter. Total BS, Bowyer should protest along with Stewart the race should have never been restarted

Fuel problem when was this?

He ran out on his way to the checkered and Bowyer, johnson and someone else passed him as he stopped in the grass, but Nascar said he was reasonable speed even though he was going no more than 20 when he ran out. This race makes me sick, it didn't benefit or hurt any of my drivers but total dictation of a race by Nascar.

I'm not a Stewart lover, but he's one of my favorite and a great racecar driver. He did get robbed and if that was Harvick of JR that happened too, I would be out of my mind. Nascar should have NEVER started that race over.

Let's be serious, that was a joke. You're stupid if you think that was a serious race. Nascar thinks they are God out there. I may stop watching, it just gets worse and worse as sponsors and money continue to bring down this great sport. Oh well, all good things must come to an end, unfortunately I never got the oppurtunity to watch this sport when it was really good back in the 70's and 80's.

They always say they will never start a race they know they cant finish but yet today they did. Then just decided to shorten it "twice". They just make it up as they go now.

Yep, I'm through with this. It's disgusting to watch these drivers that have made Nascar have to let some fat piece of trash like Brian France control everything. I bet Bill Sr is turning in his grave right now.

shouldn't the goal to get as many laps in as possible? If you still have daylight and can race, regardless whether you can get all the laps in, shouldn't you use that daylight and race? I liked the idea of resuming the race... let them race and get as many laps in as possible.

However, I didn't like the call to not use a green-white-checkered finish. There was enough time to race 2 more laps.

did any of you wanting more laps listen to the post-race interviews with the drivers? They couldn't see a damn thing out there and those speeds plus limited or zero visibility can be disastrous. Maybe Nascar was too cautious in calling the race, but erring on the side of the drivers' safety is a good thing (IMO).

and lay off Montoya, at least when his two right side tires went down he didn't spin and take anybody out. One of the MRN commentators said he could see a sizable chunk of rubber out on the track, so a caution had to be called.

get over it. at least the race fans who actually paid to be at the race got most of their money's worth.

Considering they said on TV that less than 20% of the actual fans stayed, I would say that most didn't get their money's worth.

Nascar ran out of laps and daylight because of the two wrecks, lets get real here Tony stewarts crew should have let him pit, thats there bonehead call not nascars.

Exactly.Zippy is one of the best crew chiefs out there,but he flat out screwed Tony in this case. Now way he should have let him stay out there.He was not looking at the big picture with the points.
As far a Biffle goes,they called the race and froze the field.
Where is everyone here getting that means they run to the line? Just like a caution freezes the field,this is the same thing.

The bottom line is Nascar should have never restarted the race when it was obvious they weren't going to get the full 400 miles in. They've always said that they would stay consistent, but they've yet to accomplish this.

Life would be so much sweeter if they had not re-started the race.Sure worked out for Gordon and Johnson like usual.

Yep, Gordon and Johnson would have had bad finishes and 6 chasers wouldn't have had there day messed up. Don't get me wrong, it didn't affect me either way, but if Nascar says they're going to do something then why the **** don't they do it?

Even though NASCAR was cleaning the track after the rain and it was clearing up, I wasn't sure they would restart and Smoke would get the win. However, NASCAR does say the field is frozen when the white flag (one lap)flies along with the yellow and the pace car pulls in front of the race leader and that car is declared the "so called" race winner regardless of what happens. I was shocked to see Greg pull off to the side and Clint and Jimmie pass him. What an idiot Greg was. I wouldn't be surprised that his car wouldn't start even though he said he had gas and NASCAR told him he didn't need to restart his car.
I say it was DUMB!

First of all, it's 2007, why aren't all tracks required to have lights around them? Especially Kansas, it's one of their newer tracks. It's still early in the chase and anything can happen. Look at the hole Jimmie Johnson claimed out of last season to win it.
