Nascar makes up their own rules with every new race. Biffle didn't cross the finish line behind the pace car...Bowyer did. Before next weeks race, Nascar will tell us who will win! Then the race will go on as scheduled...but we will already know the winner.
Keep up the good work Nascar---make all new rules for every race!

Bowyer should have been declared the winner. The rules say that a driver has to keep a reasonable pace under caution. Umm, shouldn't that be the pace at which the pace car is running? And, Biffle couldn't do that. And not to stir the pot, but in my opinion the race should have never been restarted after the second red flag. Gee, do you think maybe somebody couldn't stand for Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon to be that far back in the field and actually have to fight some difficulties in the chase? Wasn't gonna happen. The ruling Nascar body was not going to allow their golden boys to finish at the back. That was a big shake up in the standings as far as Hendrick and Gibbs racing was concerned. What's with Jr running over Kyle? It shows a lot of maturity in the fact that Kyle never tried to punt Jr when he got back out on the track like he used to would've done. RCR fan all the way here. I hope Bowyer wins it all and makes them all look like chumps!

As I posted on Infield Parking the rules say that the field is frozen when the yellow flag comes out. Biffle was in the lead so that is where he is scored. He did not come to a stop until after crossing the finish line. If he had come to a complete stop then the rest of the field could have passed him and NASCAR would have instructed the drivers to do so. Also it is against the rules to pass under yellow. If J.J. and Clint really want to push the issue they were in violation of this rule and should have been scored the last 2 cars on the lead lap. How's them for some green apples. The reason NASCAR restarted the race for 77 laps was for the fans who bought tickets and sat in the rain to see a race. They wanted to give them as much race as they could for their hard earned money. If you had spent the $75 for a G.A. ticket and then sat all that time in the rain you would have been upset if they didn't do everything possible to get as much of the race in as they could.
At the end of the day,,,,,,, Biffle wins in Kansas
For all of you Smoke conspiracy theorist,,, Cue the Black Helicopters.

Bowyer fair and square but when in Nascar fair? Hey Biffle may have been in the lead when the field was frozen but at least Bowye completed all remaining laps without running out of gas. And that just gives Jeff and Jimmy a few extra points.

I like the fact that Biffle won due to the fact that it didnt affect the Chase standings all that much then again, I have to admit that I would have loved to see Bowyer win as he was the hometown guy and didnt live that far away from the track and he was the favorite to win.

Well, Nascar says he won. I don't feel he should have been scored where he was. It is too bad that yellow came out. Biffle would not have finished the race under green. He pulled down and really slowed up, out of gas or not, the confusion alone almost caused Boyer to run into the 38. Nascar saying he maintained a reasonable speed is laughable.

It would have been nice to see Bowyer. IMO, according to the ever shifting rules of NASCAR, Greg Biffle won the race fair and square thanks to the "frozen field."
But really, if I were NASCAR, I would have called the race after the 2ne red flag which would have made Tony Stewart.
Remember- this comes from a guy who'd rather see Hannibal Lecter win a race than Stewart.

Johnson won the race the way I seen it. Biffle run out of gas and Boyer followed at Biffles slow speed so Johnson went around them because they were not keeping up with the pace car. When boyer finally came to his since instead of falling in behind Johnson he passed Johnson which made him passing and opponent under yellow. Should have been penalized. Crazy I know but so is NASCAR

I am not a Tony Stewart fan by any means, however, after that long of a rain delay, they should have called the race and awarded Tony the win. Once they saw that they would not be able to complete the race, it should never have been restarted. The rest of the race was a screwed up mess right up to and including the ending. Biffle did not win that race, he was given the win.

Bowyer should of have been named as the winner.
Biffle barely even crossed the finish line because he ran out of gas.
They shouldn't just change the rules because the race was under caution.
