The Sprint Cup Series race at the "Monster Mile" ended with what you'd expect from a track with that nickname- a bunch of torn up race cars, a thrilling race, and a great finish. Here was what was surprising and not surprising from the 47th Annual AAA 400 Drive For Autism at Dover International Speedway.

It's his 37th career victory in the Sprint Cup Series, his third of the season and his first at Kansas.
That is the key folks. If you don't like this kind of racing, don't watch it. Don't buy a ticket to see it. If you are really concerned with the safety risk to your favorite driver speak with your eyes, ears, and wallet.
