    This latest caution looks a lot like this.

    If someone tries to cause a "debris caution" late, will Chicago's finest fine him for littering?

    Did NASCAR pass a new rule for this race that every driver has to hit the tire barrier in Turn 6 at least once?

    I'm watching on a delay and only about 10 laps in.

    This is the funniest damn auto race I've ever seen. I hope it keeps up.

    I thought the race was going to suck. It didn’t.

    That one wreck looked like 94 as I was driving home last night.

    Tuned in for the novelty. Ended up really enjoying that race.

    Police radio exaggerated. It was one guy in a sports car, but he got a hat trick of tickets, including an expired license and lack of registration for his Chevrolet Corvette.

    "Busch is windshield deep into the tires." Or something to that effect.
    The first several laps were amusing; later they were able to turn it up. As franticscribe inferred, it was entertaining.
    Pretty cool story for the New Zealander to win and create history in the process. I had no idea Johnny Rutherford won his first start in 1963. My entire memory of him is Indy in the 1970s.
    There was also a reference to the late Mark Donahue at one point. Had not thought of him in years.
    Thought the broadcasters handled the Jimmie Johnson story with professionalism.

    Just watched the highlights but I swear NBC didn't mention SVG until the final 10 laps - and he was in the top 10 pretty much all race. Guy owned that track. Surprised they didn't get a car insurance company to sponsor the tire barricades.

    He was mentioned the entire race.

    I do like how Charlotte got Tums to sponsor the Heartburn Turn on the roval.
