Nah Kasey Kahne hit the Wall( and Carl Edwards) with 16 to go.

Jr. basically stayed with Brad until Brad ran hot and Jr. passed him.

They played the race strategy to a T. while other guys like Gordo, Johnson and Stewart didn't.

Keslowski had some debris on his grill and he made a move on a lapped car to clean it off. He lost enough speed that Jr. passed him.

Was there a magical caution flag to catch him up? Last I saw of this race it was Keslowski's to lose.


No, they stayed green.

Kes had debris on his grill and his engine was overheating. He tried to pull up behind Danica while he was lapping her to get the debris off. She went high/wide in the turn, Kes followed her and Jr. had a great run out of the turn and passed him.

Why Kes would want to get anywhere near Danica is beyond me?

And he never did get the debris off his grill and still ran right with Jr. for the rest of the race, so I don't know what he was thinking?

I think he said during his post-race interview that he thought he was blowing up. Hindsight is 20/20.

Agree. I wasn't criticizing him and didn't see the post race. I was expecting his engine to go during those last few laps.

I know. He should have known better than to try and use Danica to get the trash off when she had been in the wall earlier and was clearly off the pace.

Danica did exactly what a lap car should do in the closing laps of a race when the leaders are coming. Brad said that she got loose and went up the track, but it looked like she was giving the leaders room to race.

Brad K tried to get cute and do the unconventional, (which he loves to always brag about), and it finally bit him in the arse for once. To his credit though, he has won far more races than he has lost doing that though.
