Holy moly, I thought Edwards was going over the fence. WOW, what an edge of the chair nail biter that last lap was. I was so hoping Jr. would pull off a win, but second, I'll take it!

Amen to that! Edwards walked away without injury or anger. Got a different car winning a Cup race AND a first time winner at that!

Plus we get the treat of Shrub doing something dumb and putting himself a lap down late in the race again!

What more can a fan ask for?

Hope no one in the stands got hurt, looked like parts were flying in the replay. Glad Edwards walked away too.

On TV they said that there were some fans who were injured and being treated. Didn't say how many or how badly injured.

For my part, the entire race was a nail-biter! I also heard that there were fan injuries; I did see debris flying into the stands during the replay. This was the most entertaining race of the season so far. Let's hope we're sitting on pins and needles while they race at Richmond.

News said 7 people with minor injuries. Apparently one women broke her jaw, ouch!

Right on, only thing that could have made it better would be a post race interview with Shrub to hear some of his trademark whining, I imagine he was hard to find after the race.

Would you believe this was the only race this season that we've gotten to watch the last half?

You know, I've always "kinda" like Edwards. I became a fan after yesterday.

He knew he messed up....and admitted it! Imagine that!

Man o man did he get the E ticket ride on that one!

Cracked up when he got out and ran to the finish line.

I've heard there were injuries but non are live threatening.
