Honestly this was actually a good race for a Chicagoland race in NASCAR.

This race had a lot of cool alternative paint schemes.

"Three guys that don't have to worry about the new fueling rules on pit road- cause they always go to the self-service pump!" Those are the little things I used to love about NBC/TNT before the race started: How would Weber introduce the three guys, and who would get interview during the pace lap (i.e. Jimmie Johnson here)?

This was back when NBC cared

"Race fans don't have to wait for a special midsummer classic- every race is an All-Star race!"

[@danalong1237]

Wrong! The only all-star race on the NASCAR schedule is the Sprint All-Star Challenge (formerly The Winston).

For some reason I vividly remembered the post race coverage for this race lasting *forever*, guess the race wrapped up early and they had time to kill so they interviewed like the top 30 finishers. I even remembered Kyle Petty finishing 27th!
