Kyle Busch wins in a mess of a finish
Kyle Busch held off Montoya and Hamlin to win at Dega, while the rest of the field, or just about, wrecked behind them in the final laps. Because the caution came out on the after the white flag was thrown, the race was over.
Busch said he had to block to keep them behind him, which he was able to do. As for the finish, it was a total mess with the caution and some drivers made out quite well with the way NASCAR scored them and others didn't fair too well, some of them didn't make sense, but that's NASCAR for ya.
Congrats to Brian Vickers and David Ragan on their top 5 finishes and also to Casey Mears (top finishing HMS driver) for his top 10 finish. It was nice to see Vickers and Mears up there for a change.
Oh and so much for the crew chief swap over at Ganassi helping BOTH teams, the 42 finished second and the 41 blew and engine on lap 5. Hmm, seemed like it helped one, but not the other...did we really expect any different? I sure didn't, he still only cares about one car and that's not going to change.
Your thoughts?

First off, Congrats to Kyle Busch and the #18 team, he earned the win (Kurt2 you can pick your chin off the floor now :) )
Two Felon Motorsports drivers had Top10 finishes and once again neither one was Jimmie or Jeffy. It was a miraculous Top10 for Jr since after the restart he was back in 29th and recovered to finish 10th.
Kathy you are right about Chip Ganasty swap of crew chiefs between Monyoya and Sorenson was detrimental to Reed Sorenson.

Jon - Sorry I misunderstood your point about Jr. on the last blog.
Darn, darn, darn!! Tony had such a great car and only got a 38th place finish. Same for Stremme, he ran a great race and ended up with a poor finish.
Stewart will probably get blamed for the wreck that took him out. But I watched the video on nascar.com a dozen times and it shows that when Tony pulled into the 2nd lane it was a big hole. A car came from the 3rd lane, I think it was white and green :( and squeezed Tony down and then we had a mini-big one.
Great race to watch. Had to hold my breath most of the afternoon. There were some wild things happening today.
Congrats to Kyle. He pulled off another win after being a lap down. He did some whining though early in the race. Complained about the 11 not helping him and hanging him out. I think the 11 did that a few times today.
