Darlington Demolition
Darlington definitely lived up to it's name as being the track "too tough to tame". You definitely can't say that this race was boring.
Even with all the cautions there were some green flag runs, although none were really that long, but there was a lot of action on the track. Yes, there were the wrecks, but there was also racing for position, although it wasn't for the lead as most would have liked to see, but you got a lot of typical short track racing. I'm not sure if there was a car out there that didn't have a mark on it of some sort, whether it be from bumping someone on the track or scraping the wall, everyone seemed to have some kind of damage, which seems to be typical of Darlington.
With 17 cautions, breaking the record, Sam Hornish seemed to have been involved in a lot of them, it definitely wasn't his night, that's for sure, I lost count of how many incidents he was involved in.
Congrats to Mark Martin for the win, he may not have been the dominant car all night, but he was there when it counts the most.

Experience wins out again at Darlington. But I have to give credit to both Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano. I thought that their finishes at Talladega were just flukes but they both came back and posted top 10's at Darlington. I think Brad's 7th at Darlington is far more impressive than his win at Talladega and Joey was solid all night long as well.
