Edwards wins at Bristol

Carl Edwards passed and held off Kyle Busch for the win, even though Busch led most of the race.  History seemed to doom Busch, the driver that led the most laps at Bristol had not been the winner of the last five Bristol races and the commentators brought that up early in the race and it seemed to jinx Busch.

Although there were eight caution flags and one red flag, the final three yellow flags were for debris, where only one of them mentioned what the debris was, in fact one of them they were told exactly where the debris was and as drivers went by, they couldn't see it, which really isn't a surprise, mysterious debris cautions seem to happen a lot in NASCAR, especially near the conclusion of the races.

The points got shaken up again, as some drivers in the Chase got caught up in others incidents.  Burton, Kahne, Bowyer and Johnson were involved in incidents, but Kahne was the one impacted the most, dropping out of the Chase after getting caught up in someone else's mess.  Burton got a DNF because of someone else's mess, but he remained in fifth in points.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn't have a good race, he jumped the start and got penalized right off the bat and was never able to recover from it.  It was very loud around here with an Earnhardt Jr. fan when they mess up early and unfortunately, we had to suffer a lot of irate complaining.  Even though he didn't get a great finish, he actually moved up a spot to third in the standings, mainly because of Johnson's problems, who dropped a spot to fourth.

Although it wasn't Busch that won again, it was Edwards that won his sixth race of the season, which hasn't been that thrilling if you ask me, especially when it's only two drivers running away with everything.  It may come as a surprise to some, especially knowing I'm not a fan of his, but I was actually hoping Gordon could have gotten up there and got pass both Edwards and Busch, it just would have been nice to see someone other than Busch or Edwards win.

As far as the incident after the race between Busch and Edwards, to me, both we were wrong.  It's not that I don't think Busch shouldn't have been called to the hauler, he should have, but I think Edwards should have been called to the hauler too.
