Johnson wins the so-called Indy race

Jimmie Johnson held off Carl Edwards in the final laps of the race, or what NASCAR wants to call a race.

The big story was the tires, as they had been all weekend for the Cup series and instead of figuring out something to do about it, NASCAR had the wonderful idea of calling competition cautions about every 11 laps or so.  It was ridiculous, they knew how horrible these tires were and they even brought in a truckload of tires intended for next weeks Pocono race to use if the teams needed them, but the teams still had to use up all the Indy tires first. 

The tires were horrible, they knew they were going to be horrible and yet they still went on.  They probably would have been better off using the Pocono tires and we probably would have had a better race than we did today.

Then, if that wasn't enough, the announcers had to add to it, talking all about how the top cars were either Gibbs, Roush or Hendrick.  What a joke!  Jeff Burton ran in the top ten for practically the whole race and they hardly mentioned him, unless someone was passing him.  Allmendinger ran up front, but they hardly mentioned him either, I just wish these announcers would actually just call a race instead of throwing their preferences into it.  Burton did good, but if you listened to the commentators, he was a non-factor and not even up there.

And because of all these tire problems, it shook up the points and it's sad to say that most drivers that dropped positions didn't deserve it, but were just a result of these horrible tires.

And now we get to go to another boring race at Pocono next week, but after this so-called race, that one will probably look exciting compared to this one and that's hard to do since it's usually just a follow the leader race.
