Race 2 - Indianapolis

Race 2 - Indianapolis

Pole Winner: #18 Kyle Busch
Race Winner:#5 Kasey Kahne

Majority Pick: #18 Kyle Busch

Pool Standings: 
1. Sam Holloway -8
2. asleep at the wheel - 15
2. G Money - 15
2. Hot Rod - 15
5. Gas Holes - 22

Well the Brickyard 400 turned into the Scrapyard 400 in the last 50 laps of the race. The majority pick was Kyle Busch, and he looked poised for the win, until Truex Jr. wiped him out on the restart. Since Truex Jr. took out the two best cars, that left it to Brad Keselowski and Kasey Kahne to battle back and forth trying to let the other one win. I mean really, who else was screaming at these two bone heads on the last couple of restarts for picking the top line?! The bottom had the push at the end of the race. Just ask Trevor Bayne. NASCAR gave Kahne a gift at the end by holding that caution flag for a few seconds. I know they were running out of daylight, but it seemed a little obvious.

On another note, I have to give Jimmy Johnson kudos for making it one hell of a race at the end. Going 3 wide at 200 mph and trying to stick it in the corner, all while your car is blowing up?! That sir, takes some kahunas.

Let's get ready for this week at Pocono. I hope it's another wild one!

Next Race: Pocono on July 30, 2017
