A Close Shave

Damn, that was a close one!

If you missed last night's Pepsi 400, you missed one for the ages . . .

Jamie McMurray ended a massive losing streak in dramatic fashion, beating Kyle Busch by a bumper to the finish line of the Pepsi 400 on Saturday night.

McMurray snapped a 166-race winless streak by drag racing with Busch for much of the final two laps at Daytona International Speedway. The cars appeared to touch several times on their final trip around the famed track, and McMurray nosed across the finish line a mere 0.005 seconds ahead of Busch. (H/T - Yahoo!)

In related news, Wyatt is a very happy gunfighter this evening. Why?

• Jeff Gordon finished 5th, while his nearest competitor in the points standings, Denny Hamlin, finished dead last. Gordon is now in first place by 277 points. HA!
• Tony Stewart, the tool who wrecked Hamlin - his own teammate - finished 38th, and dropped to 7th in the standings. Tee hee hee!
