Monday, October 18th "What If" Question

Over the last few weeks drivers have been giving the highlight reels something to feast on when saying that NASCAR was purposely throwing debris cautions that were costing them the race. Clint Bowyer was the latest to do at California when he was pulling away in the closing laps before the caution came out, which led to Tony Stewart getting the victory.

NASCAR fans know this is nothing new, as Denny Hamlin and a few others stated the same thing numerous times earlier this season. Hamlin was the most vocal and was later fine for other comments he made about what was taking place in NASCAR.

Saturday night in Charlotte it was his teammate Kyle Busch that was hot under the collar. Busch dominate the Bank of America 500 and was well in control as the race wound down. That was until once again the caution came out for what Busch said was no reason. Jamie McMurray shot past Busch on the restart and won the race, Busch finished second.

Afterwards Busch said that it was the second night in a row that the best car didn't win. He had also dominating the Nationwide Series race on Friday before losing in the end to Brad Keselowski. Busch said there was no words to describe the disappointment of continuing to come up short at Charlotte in the Sprint Cup Series.

But ...

What if the last caution did not come out Saturday? Would Kyle Busch have held off hard charging Jamie McMurray & Jimmie Johnson?

@mbauerherzog No, I think JMac would have won it either way. Kyle would have still held off JJ though.

@shanbedd I say maybe 18 would still have won, clean air yes, he would have won!

@chrisjohnson022 No he would not have won

@nascar_oz I think he could have

@Ks29Fan probably not...

@Ol_Man_Winter No way. Jamie was catching him 4 10ths a lap before last restart. Awesome seeing Jamie Mac beat restart king on a restart tho

@dhammis Nope. Jmac had the faster car during the last run. #NASCAR

@WilliamCheerboy This would happen: Danica Patrick comes out of the stands, hi-jack Mark Martins car & drive to front to win the race!
