The worst race in NASCAR history

Yesterday's Kansas race was pathetic for a multitude of reasons. First Tony should have won the race on a gamble for fuel and rain which had him leading when the race was red flagged. But 2 hours later the geniuses decided to try and finish the race, only now it was going to get dark before they finished so they shortened the race to 210 laps. Which begs the question why not just leave the race a rain out? Idiots! Then after the race restarted there was a big wreck (surprise), in which Tony got caught up in other people's junk and knocked in the left front of the car, consequently causing a tire rub that would flatten his left front tire just at the right time for Kurt Busch to come up and nail him into the wall. In the process of crashing Tony took out Carl, who seemed to understand the situation pretty well. Tony had to try and stay out and at one point I thought he could drive the car and keep it together, but no. Then at the end of the race Greg Biffle was leading and Juan Montoya Montoyaed himself with four laps left, but rather than even attempt a green white checker, NASCAR lets the race end under caution. Not only that but Greg's car runs out of fuel near the start/finish line and a couple of cars pass him, but the field was already "frozen" when the caution came out. Terrible NASCAR, terrible.
