in the I didn't know this category :

"With the victory, Johnson is all but assured of remaining the only driver to have qualified for every Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup since the inception of the playoff format in 2004."

Great race, watched nearly all of it. Was great to watch the drivers, strategy, and how the weather affected things. The driver being able to adjust the track bar seemed to have a few problems, but sounds like a great thing to allow the drivers to adjust it from the car.

Very well done by Johnson (and other drivers) that started at the back and finished at the front.

Wait. What?
The drivers can adjust the track bar? On the fly?

So what happened to Tony?

driver's being able to adjust the track bar is one of the new things this year .... this was the first race it has been used .... it played to mixed reviews .... another change is NASCAR no longer checks to see if all lug nuts are tight .... the teams can send a car back out with some loose, some missing .... the hammer is, if a tire comes loose on the track, NASCAR says the penalties will be very harsh .... Tony had damage and some mechanical issues, finished 6 laps down .... his 4 car did well as did their 10 & 41 cars
