Is that why they moved the spectator stands away from the finish line at Joliet? So you can't see who actually won? :-)

Bobby, I was the one who made that comment, and last night I re-watched the staging of both cars, and it looked to me as though the Cavaliers front end moved forward of the staging beams to thus stage with the tire, however the freeze frame at the end showed the Cavaliers tire clearly being behind the rear-most edge of the wagons front tire as it tripped the finish line beams. However, the front nose of the Cavalier was right there close enough to the front edge of the wagons tire to explane the narrow victory for Greg...I hope somebody else who saw/taped this race will look at it so as to agree/disagree with my oppinion, but as I said before verrry interesting....

some of the guys that i bracket race with use a "stripe taker" mounted up by the front bumper and it only hits the beam at the top end. they stage with the tire and take the stripe with the wing. cheatin bastards!

The coverage was good, except for one thing I noticed that was not mentioned on here! The top end cameras were at the 1000' mark!!! Showing once again how everything is geared towards the pros! Only the finish line cameras (still) were shown at the stripe, everything else on top end was from the 1000' to the down track cameras! It was not like that last year.
