For awhile there it seemed like the drama was not going to show up and we were going to see a lot of follow the leader driving and I was contemplating giving this one 3 stars.
But boy the last 100 laps got interesting. Side by side dual between Kenseth and Hamlin was very entertaining. Especially since Hamlin ended up wrecking himself. Was also curious who was going to win this one as the leadboard was changing often. It looked like with 50 laps to go we were heading for a gas mileage race, which I was actually hoping would happen. But, with about 25 to go, Biffle crashed and that brought out the last yellow and avoided a gas mileage race.
What took place after that was Kenseth trying to run off with the win and unfortunately having Johnson show up with the far superior car. It looked like Kenseth was going to be blown right by, but with 12 laps or so to go, He couldnt pass Kenseth. What took place afterwards was a thrilling side by side dual. Finally with 2 to go, Johnson cleared Kenseth and rode off with the victory. His 3rd in a row.
It appears unless something changes, he is going to be the champion. I am certainly not thrilled with that. But if he wins it, he wins it. Hes only won 9 races so far this year, way more than anybody else. So it isnt like he would have deserved it either.
4 out of 5 stars
