I'm so freakin' happy right now, gooo Junior!!
As for the blocking I thought it was exciting and there were several passes earlier in the race that showed you could grab the lead if you timed your move right. Of course it wasn't exactly easy to pass Junior since he had a very strong car, but hell, I much prefer the "block-racing" we saw tonight compared to the top 10 being single file and no one being able to do anything - or don't want to because they're afraid to lose their spot - like we've seen in several recent plate races.
