Pretty obvious who the allied favorites are. This was pathetic.

Even though he didn't elect to go back out, since it was a green and white together finish, shouldn't Suhre have been scored ahead of Joe Cooksey, who was two laps down? (As Suhre would've completed 99 laps)
Also, I thought Jason announced that they would not be counting yellow laps unless 40 minutes had elapsed. I set a 40 minute timer on my phone, and hit start the exact moment the green flag flew at the start. I kept track of the laps in my notebook, and they were clearly counting yellow laps before the 40 minute mark. It may not have affected the outcome of this race, but what if someone makes--or doesn't make--weight by just a few pounds? I mean, methanol weighs, what, six pounds a gallon? I don't know how much fuel these cars use in a lap at Belle-Vegas, but I would have to think that 8-10 laps under yellow vs. under green could make enough of a difference in fuel weight to be an issue. (To speak nothing of additional laps of tire wear on a worn out track late in a marathon race.)
Honestly, I think 100 laps is just way too long. If they want to keep the "100 laps" theme, why not just pay a little extra for the mods, run them 30 laps, the LMs 50, and a third class 20 feature laps for 100 laps of feature racing?
You're right about the scoring Cooksey was 2 laps down. I just wanted to separate the DNF cars from the finishers.Even though he didn't elect to go back out, since it was a green and white together finish, shouldn't Suhre have been scored ahead of Joe Cooksey, who was two laps down?

Here is a question. Why is no one talking about the driver and crew on the infield throwing things at mevert while in the car? They should all have been thrown out on the spot.
