Gara completamente condizionata dal big one avvenuto all'improvviso a 17 giri dal termine e che ha messo ko 11 dei primi 20 piloti in quel momento.

Onore comunque a Denny Hamlin che dopo essersi operato al ginocchio ha trionfato in una gara tutt'altro che facile.


Premio sfiga dell'anno a Juan Pablo Montoya e David Reutimann. Entrambi avrebbero potuto concludere nella top 10 tutte le gare non fosse che si sono sempre ritrovati al posto sbagliato nel momento sbagliato, finendo sempre coinvolti in cindenti causati da altri piloti.


Concludo ricordando a tutti che la prossima gara, Talladega, avrà punteggi doppi.

Attendiamo con ansia la gara che di solito è la più spettacolare dell'anno. Fortuna poi che ne ne sono due di Talladega...

che iella il mio David

Dai, poteva capitare a tutti stavolta é capitato a me

Marcos Ambrose, assieme a Max Papis non influente nel nostro gioco, sono stati penalizzati di 50 punti per un'infrazione riscontrata nelle loro macchine prima delle qualifiche del venerdì. Pertanto Marcos Ambrose esce dalla top 5 di Marto facendo entrare Sam Hornish Jr, e facendo passare il totale team da 672 a 663. Di conseguenza Marto perde una posizione e due punti sia nella classifica di giornata che generale
