Different strategies, team mates at each other in Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch hitting the wall, then getting repaired and going on to win; it was a show.
From NASCARs shortest show, to its longest race the 600, somethings don't change...
Kyle in the wars... Kurt winning... again...
Its also good to see a Dodge winning in a sea of Chevys.
Kyle Busch... oh Kyle Busch...
First he gets annoyed with his team mate in the All Star Race. Kyle the race was for $1 million!! What did he think was going to happen. The red sea was not going to part saying here you go 18 car have it all to yourself, was it... Then in the 600 he pulls out infront of 2 cars leaving the pits and causes chaos, then has a run in with and runs into Jeff Burton late in the race...
All of this while his brother wins both races!
Good racing though. The tire / aero / spoiler combination worked well, as the cars seem able to run various lines around the track, two and three (just) wide, and nose to tail through the corners. The old aero push issue, when the cars would run together on the straightaways and then spread out in the turns seems to be a thing of the past! Also good to see the cars racing 2 wide and not losing out to cars running single file in front of them.
I thought it was nice of Red Bull to finally admit that it might not have been Webbers fault... no whatsit Sherlock!! Typical F1 corporate politics, lets blame one driver, then both, then the other one. Webber drove in a straight line, while Vettel pulled alongside his team mate and gave him no room, and they made contact.
To be fair, its much better to have an environment at the top two teams where team mates can race each than have team orders and a procession. Racing makes for enjoyable GP's.
Please Red Bull... please Gibbs...
Let 'em race!!
