NASCAR hands win to Gordon
Wow, yes I'm probably going to get all the Gordon fans mad by this, but oh well. NASCAR handed that win to Gordon, plain and simple, there is no way to explain the whys and timing of the cautions for todays race.
It took NASCAR forever to see Robby Gordon was putting debris down on the track after his tire blew, but they waited until he actually got into his darn pit stall before throwing the yellow. A bit late with that one and then they decided not to throw a caution at all when the same exact thing happens to Jimmie Johnson on lap 91. So what if the car was sparking all over the place more than when Robby's blew, there doesn't need to be a caution.
Of course then there's that last caution, the one that gave Gordon the win. They waited until Ryan Newman was almost side by side with Gordon and then they throw the yellow for rain. There was no way Gordon could have stayed in front of Newman, or Truex Jr. for that matter, for more than one or two more laps at the most.
NASCAR cheated the fans out of a good race and handed the win to Gordon, they need to make it a bit less obvious next time.
Your thoughts?

Luck gave Jeff that win, but it still counts as #79
But he isn't the first driver to win one that way, nor will he be the last
Seems some complain when NASCAR throws cautions, and then complain when they don't
I guess it depends on who it helps, or hurts
