Hamlin did last night? I knew as soon as he had the tire going down and was staying out that he was doing that JUST TO BRING OUT THE CAUTION. Anyone in their right mind would have came in to get a new tire so they would not fall any farther back. Sure.....NASCAR held him for two laps but he stopped right on the track to bring out that caution and it cost Dale Jr the race. I know what you are thinking ......another Dale Jr. fan mad. That is not the case. I am Kevin Harvick and RCR all the way. Im happy that Clint was able to win the race but D. Hamlin really cost Dale Jr. the race. Im not sure the rules on that but it would seem to me that NASCAR should be able to do something about that other than holding Hamlin 2 laps which he prob. would have lost anyways. His night was over and he knew it. He parked on the track to help Kyle out. That is not racing. On a side note.......that was one hack of a race. I was one of the skeptics on the COT but kudos to NASCAR for bringing in a racecar that is SAFE, RUGGED and just flat out fun to watch. Sure......some bugs need to be worked out here and there but they should pat themselves on the back for this car. Send that 29 around. Joe Wheeler, Pearl River, Louisiana.
