Matt McLaughlin’s Thinkin’ Out Loud: 2012 Twin 150s at Daytona Race Recap

Kyle Busch used a David Pearson, patent perfect slingshot pass to get around Tony Stewart coming to the line.
Tony Stewart won five of the 10 Chase races. You’re not going to beat that just by being consistent.
At least the race wasn’t the wreck-fest we all feared. Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart kept their respective fans on their feet most of the afternoon.
If you were watching Sunday’s race as its own unique event, it was a long, tedious afternoon.
Motorized mechanical mayhem at Martinsville. Easily the best race of the year.
Well NASCAR’s plans to break up the tandem racing with a larger restrictor plate and lower pressure cooling systems didn’t work too well, did it?
Thank God for the SAFER barriers and the HANS device. Jimmie Johnson’s wreck looked horribly similar to a certain last-lap wreck in the 2001 Daytona 500.
Jimmie Johnson easily aced Kasey Kahne on the green-white-checkered restart to score the win.
Did the Chase just ruin the finish of another race? I’m left wondering if Jimmie Johnson gave it all he had on that final restart.
