NASCAR Finally Got It Right by Not Throwing Caution at End of Daytona 500
The buzz all week has been about whether NASCAR did the right thing by not throwing a caution when the bulk of the field was wrecking 1/4 mile behind the two drivers racing for the win in the Daytona 500. The wreck was BEHIND the leaders on the last lap, folks! It was great to see NASCAR actually let the two vying for the win, Kevin Harvick and Mark Martin, actually RACE for the win. I don't agree with NASCAR's calls most of the time, but they actually got this one right!! Kevin Harvick raced Mark Martin for the win, and beat him to the finish line. End of story.
