To my understanding explained to me this morning, both Vickers and Earnhardt Jr. were trying to race hard back to line to get the free pass and be the "Lucky Dog". I guess "That's Racing" as they say. Was a disappointing 500 this year. I can understand NASCAR's thought process on wanting to call the race. Safety and time constraints being their major motives, but that last forty laps would have been worth the price of admission. If they had ever re-started, it would have been balls to the wall.
