I missed this for some reason, but it cracked me up today.
#43 Richard Petty was leading the field behind the pace car before the start of the Southern 500 in his '67 Belvedere and refused to come in to the pits.
NASCAR black flagged him and he pitted just as the race started.
That's awesome!

I watched some of the Kansas race, but it is not a favourite track of mine and it was hard to follow on race view. #20 Kenseth got parked for too many men over the wall during the 5 minute crash clock, which seemed harsh but it is in the new rules. That might be the end of his career.
I still don't understand the play offs, but the cream has risen to the top. Truex Jr is in a world of his own. If he does not win the Cup he should feel robbed, but it is any bodies game.
Martinsville next week, I hope it will be as good as the spring race which was a blinder.
