Not a fan of road courses, but what a wild finish!
Things definitely got tense at the end of the Busch race, some came away happy and others came away fuming.
Robby Gordon seemed to have the lead, the caution came out and Marcos Ambrose plowed into the back of him spinning Gordon. After reviewing the tapes, NASCAR said that Ambrose had the lead when the yellow apparently came out, not only that but they wanted Gordon back in 12th. Gordon wasn't having any of that and he restarted right behind Ambrose and spun him on the restart and then kept going. If you ask Robby Gordon, he won the race and he will appeal. NASCAR apparently stopped scoring Gordon and he was listed in 18th in the finishing order, two laps down.
The "official" winner of the race, since Gordon wasn't being scored was Kevin Harvick, who started in the back of the field because of not being there to qualify.
I understand Gordon being mad, but I highly doubt he'll win his appeal (has anyone ever won one against NASCAR?) and who knows what else NASCAR might do to him.
Your thoughts?

Thanks, Robby, for always standing up for yourself and never takin' any shit from anybody - even NASCAR. Unfortunately, he will be severely punished - but I wish fewer drivers would cower in fear of the boys in the tower.
Great finish.
Lucky frickin' Canadians.
