    This may be the best race finish ever! I read about it, finally found the video.

    4-wide and a surprise winner with a .0026sec margin at the line.

    Nice Video! Doubt that'll happen again anytime soon.

    Those first three don't start duking it out as early as they did on the last lap, he finishes fourth. Amazing how quickly things can change.

    Can you say two years in a row?

    Ok, not as crazy as last year, but damned good if taken on it's own. And poetic justice on top of it, makes it a nice story!!

    Another great finish! I don't think anything has ever come close to last year's Lights finish but still impressive they were this close two years running.
