I bet Ambrose was a little cautious about turning his engine off to save fuel this year after his last race at the glen when he couldn't re fire the car and lost the race because of it.
congrats Marcus on a well deserved win.

It looked like Biffle (David) was trying to attack a mountain when he took Said (Goliath) on.

That was probably the meanest crash so far this year. Both Ragan and Reutimann appeared to still having their bells ringing when interviewed. Luckily neither were injured beyond probable 'racers rheumatism' for the next few days. If nothing else, it shows the current cars are about as safe as possible.

Nah,Dave S...We wont shout TOOOO LOUD about the win..:LOL::LOL:I bet Busch was a bit p***ed about being beaten by him though..:D..Congrats to Marcos..

Kyle just didn't have the right setup to challenge for the one----another 30 or so races and he might have 1/10 the miles on a road course that Ambrose does!!!!! Good to see him win, this has really been the year for first time winners, and the new points system is going to make The Chase very interesting!!!!
