Default Juan wins one!

Pretty good race, I think everyone expected him to do well, but I'm not sure many thought he'd win. I like road races. Dale Jr. was doing pretty well too, I think fuel and pit strategy got him behind.

Juan is a track bully. He has been shown (in a segment highlighting all his take outs) to slam into everyone on the track and then blame them and say they need to stay out of his way. I think I would love to see someone put him into the wall and teach the rookie a thing or two. He's quickly becoming my LEAST favorite driver.

I agree ,but it was still a good race.He seams to stay away from the big boys and picks on the weak.You won't see him mess to much with Jeff,Tony and heaven forbid if he took out Jr.

I can remember a specific case of him running into Tony. I can't recall what track tho.

His driving style is similar to Tony Stewart's. Once he gets a handle on oval racing it should be fun. I can see him and Tony, and Kurt Busch in the top three with ten laps to go! Whoever's fourth would probably win.

I was happy to see Juantoya win one (though as a #29 fan I would have been happier if he ran out of gas)

BUT I have to say that was the WORST race coverage I have EVER seen. Thank God there are only a couple races left on TNT.

I have always been a big fan of the road coarse races. But, when the winner wins with fuel strategy the outcome IMO seems less spectacular to me. I like to see them racing hard untill the end, instead we have guys trying to conserve fuel to take the checkered flag.
