Tight, tight tight...

That's all I heard on various driver's radios. And how many of them spun out?

How many lost spots, especially when things were going good? MAN.

I think it might be a universal problem with the CoT in general, because all makes were spinning out, especially when they were trying to pass.

Granted, all that three wide business, was a bit over the top, but racing close to one another gave some excitement to the whole thing.

Everyone lost forward bite, because the track was green. Thanks A LOT, RAIN!

I think the CoT is a thorn in everyone's side, but that one team has it figured out. I think it's obvious.

Hendrick is the team that wins, because they've figured it out. I don't know where the commentators on TV say that CHEVY as a make, has figured it out, but I guess they have some kind of knowledge, that Ford, Dodge and Toyota do not.

After that very messy wreck on lap 372, which included: Ward Burton, Ricky Rudd, Allmendinger, Truex and Stewart...it seemed like something had to give.

I know if I were a driver and I took a hit like Rudd did, I would pack it in and just say the hell with it. Even in the early laps, people were battling for positions like it was the last five laps, or something. COME ON!

I think someone, namely NASCAR, has to figure out why so many drivers were hitting the wall and the problem with the chassis being so tight, so often.

I like side by side racing, but not for the sake of it, so people would wreck and wreck often.

Broadcasting notes: Will SOMEONE at Fox REMEMBER that Martin Truex Jr is NO LONGER a rookie? The graphic had that annoying rookie (R) after his name and NOT David Ragan. WHY? Someone has to get that right.

Seems like if NBC got it wrong, ESPN got it right: Allen Bestwick is back in the booth for ESPN's coverage. Finally, someone has WOKEN up, to see that talent was being WASTED.

Thank you, ESPN!

Let's hope Darlington is much better than today. Fox deserves a pat on the back and a cookie, for showing the debris. Let's hope it continues...

Another night race, next Satruday. Let's hope there's NO RAIN at the 'Lady in Black' and that she treats most of the drivers well.
