NASCAR Cup Series EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS: Coke Zero Sugar 400 | Motorsports on NBC

"Jeff, your little boy has done it" has to be one of the most touching calls in recent memory. It's up there with Darrell's reaction when Michael won the 500, for sure.

Stupid. He cheated. Kyle should have wrecked him. Logano and hamlin would have. Especially to make the chase. Burton blocks and goes below the yellow line. Illegal up till now. Only Burton and Dale jr. Get free pass to go below the line .

Last night Kyle gets a run goes low and Burton shoots down to block Kyle, hits Kyle's bumper and goes below the line which is against the rules. And again nascar blames the rcr car and allows Burton to go below the yellow line below and off the racing surface maintain his position then come back up. And they let his win stand and don't penalize him and again blame they guy he hits for causing the mayhem. U need to stop swallowing all the lies nascar squirts into you. Everyone except Dale jr gets penalized for going below the yellow lines ,NO MATTER HOW WHEN WHY OR WHAT THE REASON IS. when your done blowing nascar why don't you go blow hamlin and logano.
