NASCAR should =never= finish a race under caution. When events such as the
one that caused Daytona to finish under caution happen, the race should be
stopped until such time as the track can be cleared to finish the race under
the green flag.  Especially inside of 10 laps to go.

 I'm not sure I understand your comment on Skinner, but otherwise, I
 agree. I would like to see a rule in place that any caution laps with
 less than ten to go don't count as "official" laps
 Aside from being somewhat anti-climactic, I think ending under caution
 is unfair to any driver who would otherwise have had a legitimate
 chance of winning had the race stayed green.
 Oh well, it *was* a hell of a race otherwise though, wasn't it?

assistant: Did my ears deceive me or what?  Basically, all the teams going to Daytona
had to be ready to leave without the car that they came with.
The winning car went directly to victory lane, then to post race tech inspec,
then straight to the Daytona museum where it would stay for the rest of the
year.
That could really hurt if a long-shot won.  Somehow sounds like they are
penalizing the winner by not letting them use that car again this year.
Maybe I was wrong in what I heard.  (?)
