I don't see how Indy and F1 could have the races actual "car" bodies have. They touch each other and wreck almost instantly. With NASCAR and V8, competitors can trade a little paint, much like the Busch-Craven race at Darlington in '03.
As much as I am a Mark Martin fan....Im happy that NASCAR had not thrown the caution because I have always belived that if the wreck was behind them, let them race back to the line
But Harvick is lucky that he was racing Mark Martin because any other driver would of doorslamed him and woulda loosened him up. And I know this is coulda shoulda woulda but I wish Martin's spotter woulda told him to block Harvick in 3 & 4 because I dont think Busch woulda gotten a run off 4, oh well
im with u on that im a die hard mark martin fan but that was a drag race and i woulda thrown the cautionand he wont wreck u for a race everand thats y i like him
I was pissed Mark didn't win. I've always been a fan of his since I was 2. Wathcing that race I was yelling "Caution! Caution! Mark won." I was devastated he didn't pull it off. But I can't argue with the results, what an awesome finish. The only thing that makes me upset, is that Nascar has thrown the caution before in similar situations, and I wish they would be more consistent. There should be no cautions once all the driver cross the line on the last lap.
how stupid can you be?! give mark a win because it was SUPPOSEDLY his last year. please! he's said that how many times? besides, the spin was BEHIND them how are you gonna throw the caution?! Get a grip dude, how stupid could you be honestly...its RACING! And mark got beat. GO HARVICK!!!
x24xrockzx24x it is easy for you to say that Harvick shouldn't made the move on Martin because you don't know how hard is to win this race... Do you think that Harvick is going to think, well let Mark win because he has never won it before and he getting old"... No dude Harvick was hungry and he got the meal he wanted =]
Although I also would have wanted martin to win it instead of harvick ... if you are a true racecar driver you don't let the other guy win because it's his last year, especially not @ Daytona. A true racecar driver needs to be selfish and go for it every race. Look at Johnson, he's not giving Jeff any gifts either, despite Jeff being his car-owner.
It doesn't matter who won that race. It only mattered that the race was fun to watch. It was a good finish. Nascar didn't throw the yellow flag when the really should have, that made it a bit better of an end to me. I mean even 2 years later I'm coming back and watching this great finish.
I dont see why they even throw the yellow on the final lap. They should let the leaders go to the finish under green. Kyle has won twice bc of that. coincidentally at RP tracks
I have so much respect for Mark Martin. I wish he could've won that race, but Harvick's my other driver to so I'm happy. You can't have two winners. But Mark could've easily gone ranting and raving about them not throwing a caution - instead he had a positive attitude.
Here's to hoping Mark Martin wins the 2009 "Great American Race"; The 51st Daytona 500 with Hendrick Motorsports!
Mark Martin should be proud. He raced all the way to the finish with no error in the final 2 laps. He got loose but there's nothing really you could do about it.
With everything that was going on between Mark and K?evin, i think NASCAR knew it would be commercial suicide to throw the caution before they crossed the line.
That is the best race i have ever seen in motorsport, i watched it live at 4am in the UK and never regret it!
Not just that, but Artie Kempner's risky move of going to the cablecam at the finish paid off well. Listen to Darrell catch the #01 handling going off at the worst possible time, and how Mike and Larry set up their angles. At the finish they were into "crash" mode and one of the biggest criticisms of this trio -- the use of binoculars and watching the race from the booth, not the monitor -- paid dividends.
they have put cation out when there is a spin and they save it and it is a pain but when there is a huge wreck there isnt any cation. that was a bad call by nascar martin had 100% won it
