Interesting read 
NASCAR can't win. They tried to please the fans... Last year the complaint was they didn't let them race the length of the frontstretch. :shrug:
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the yellow flag did not come out until after Harvick and Martin had crossed the line, even though the crashing began when the two leaders were a couple hundred yards from the finish.
He explained it by saying the cars that were crashing were “already off the track and on the apron,” adding NASCAR did throw the yellow flag when Clint Bowyer’s Chevrolet flipped onto its roof, slid through the grass and caught on fire.
“At that point, the 29 was ahead of the 01 (Martin) and had taken the checkered flag,” Poston said.
That explanation didn’t please everyone, but Martin, a longtime NASCAR star, said he wasn’t going to complain.
“Nobody wants to hear a grown man cry, all right?” Martin said. “That’s what it is, and I’m not going to cry about it. That’s the end.”
