I hope no one else stayed up to watch the rest of the race. Of course green,white checkered, I wasn't suprised. What did grind my gears was the fact team orders came in to play. The announcers played it down, as well did Greg Biffle, and the disappointment on Jr's face said it all. (Mind you I'm a Mark Martin fan, so everybody else is meh to me except underdogs.) Biffle said he tried to get a run, but if you watch no the backstretch, Jr literally was under Biffle, and they were losing ground on Kennseth, Biff got off the pedal to distance himself from Matt to ensure at least one of them was to win instead of a true battle. If they wanted to gain ground, you do a simple thing, move up the track and let Kennseth roll back. BOTH Biff and Jr. said they tried, so they were on the same page, but Roush had other plans.

This is the god damn Daytona 500, one of the whole reasons why many are in this race, and to sit back and watch your team mate win not because you didn't have enough in your car, but because you HAD to sit back, It makes me feel this is actually one of the worst Daytona's in recent memory. I'd of dropped kenseth like a bag of flaming dog **** to get that win.

I think for Talladega and Daytona, the green,white,checkered should be modified to give it a little more playability. Since it takes one lap to get up to speed, and then one lap to actually race, it really kills alot of chances for others to catch up. It should have one more lap to play in at least. But what do I know, I just know the green white checkered has played a role in most fo the finishes, and is getting boring. Why should I watch 495 miles when the final 2 laps are coming up....
