Great race, good points......sure was nice to see all those big "7"s during Trackside in the crowd a little bummed about what happened to JV during the Road America race. But the great finish for RGM helped fix that for me.

thought GN called a fabulous race...best quote of the day from GN following the #47 penalty: "you don't need to worry about that. You need to be thinking about how you're going to get around the #48 and how you're going to save me some gas." great stuff.

Throwing it out there for discussion...though it could probably be its own thread...

If any other of RG's prior CC's made the same call Gene did, would Robby have listened with the minimal arguing about it that he did? lol

The other point that irks me about the Ambrose deal....

Yes, Nascar applied the "maintaining cautious speed" rule equally at Montreal and here at Sonoma...
but Marcos did that to himself, Robby was SPUN OUT UNDER YELLOW (by Marco nonetheless..karma? lol).... there is a huge EFFING difference there.

To this day, believe it or not, based on the Montreal precedent....you are allowed to spin out the guy in front of you and they lose their spot...

That is just unreal and unacceptable....

Did anyone notice how convient the caution came out after the 47 made his second stop? Blaney who never runs a whole race sure did get the window net down pretty fast on his sponorless car after he spun on the track, I do not know what he gets from MWR but I would bet he gets something.........
