The streak is over - finally! Woohoo!!!

About damn time too, not a bad race, pity about the 1hr 15min red flag

About time too. One of the few older drivers I actually don't mind seeing win a race. Good for him.

Damn... I knew when I turned the race off after 45 minutes of red I was going to miss something good.

Yeah, things just kind fell his way within about the last 50 laps or so. Gordon hit the concrete chunk, which took him out of contention, and Johnson elected not to pit last time out, which took the other dominant car out of the game.

I'm just glad everyone raced him clean - except, ironically, his own teammate... who seemed just a little too P.O.d about Rusty winning if you ask me. I dunno - jury's still out on Newman for me now.
