I liked it, and it went pretty well until it got really awful at the end. I'd like to see them make it a policy for the road courses to run in the rain if possible. I guess something crazy has to happen in Montreal every year...

The race, in my opinion, was fun to watch, these things ran way better than I expected in the rain. The drivers kept the cars on the track and didn't slide out of it that much.
Ambrose dominated the race, but was penalized for speeding on pitroad. Ron Fellows, with a different strategy, got the lead, but he was going to have to pit later in the race, but the rain got too hard, and NASCAR decided to red flag the race with a few laps to go, so Fellows won.
The race was red flagged a few laps in, when it started to rain so that teams could chande tires, add wippers and setup the cars for the rain.

The one thing I didn't like (it didn't happen because it rained all day) was NASCARs saying that they would mandate the changing of
wets to slicks or viceversa, taking the strategy out of the teams hands, as they did last week by closing the pits a couple laps before the competition cautions.
