NASCAR - Kansas

Not sure what is going on this year with racing, but today was yet another boring race. Very little racing, the only exciting parts were the restarts were for the first 2 laps, they would race 3 and 4 wide. Then they would spread out and that was the end of any racing until the next caution. The track was not easy on a few teams, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Gordon, and Mark Martin all had engine problems.

Congratulations Denny Hamlin!!! Some good racing between you and Martin Truex, Jr. at the end. Martin made that daring move with 3 laps to go, but it just wasn't enough, it did make the last couple laps exciting.
