If Dale Jr or any one of the top 5 "chase" drivers bumped drafted at the end of the race and crossed the line first, I guarantee there would have been a win.

Any lesser driver would have had the win taken away and the car confiscated for "inspection"

Anything for ratings and marketing dollars.

FOX should have shelved their announcers and just handed the mic to some drunks in the infield. Would have been much more entertaining than that snoozefest.

"NASCAR went so far as to say a driver bump-drafting at the end wouldn’t win the race even if he crossed the finish line first?"

Hadn't heard that before. I didn't enjoy the racing we had this weekend either. Well the Cup racing sucked, the trucks were the show to see. I can see why your mad Dan.

NASCAR spooked themselves by scheduling Dega Halloween weekend. They wanted to avoid the big wreck we had at the end of the last race. Problem was they went about it in a way that ruined the majority of the race. If NASCAR had allowed the guys to race as they normally do at SuperSW's we would have weeded out some of the guys who couldn't draft Sunday in smaller incidents. The racing was going to get wild at the end regardless, because of the anti-bumping rule, all the lessers like Keseloski were still around at the end to contribute to the mayhem. He wrecked the number 2&3 guys in the chase out of the race. C'mon.

NASCAR was scared after what they saw in practice, they over reacted and cost us fans a race. Sundays race was equivalent to the Great Indianapolis Incident of '08. I feel cheated. Whether it was the result of a strong hand from NASCAR or a driver petition in response to the way NASCAR addressed the situation, it was a mess. They need to fix this.
