NASCAR made a call, so it must be 'what-if' time

Matt Kobyluck (No. 40) crosses the finish line behind Joey Logano at
the Toyota Speedway at Irwindale, Calif., on Jan. 24, 2009.​

If you saw the end of the Toyota All-Star Showdown for Camping World East and West series cars Saturday night, chances are you've decided whether NASCAR made the right call or not.

Me, I am just interested to see that NASCAR did make a call.

You need to check out video replays of the finish on TV or the Internet to get a true appreciation of what happened. But in brief summary, Peyton Sellers had emerged from a three-way battle with the lead with Joey Logano and Matt Kobyluck chasing him over the final laps.

On the last lap, Logano was second entering Turn 3 and dove way low on the track, hoping to pass Sellers. As they came through Turn 4, Logano's car slid up the track and into Sellers' car on the outside. The move took Sellers into the outside wall, crashing him.

Logano righted himself in time to get across the finish line first just ahead of Kobyluck, who had eased back enough to miss the Sellers-Logano incident that he saw developing.

After the race, though, Kobyluck was declared the winner. Logano was penalized and moved to last place for his move.

When is the last time you heard of a driver winning a race and never actually leading a lap?

It was a pretty good race with a crazy finish and lot's of over driving into the corners even during the race. No points on the line, so they definitely weren't afraid to let it all hang out and push it over the edge, even some of the veterans were guilty of this.

As for the finish though, Joey knew he was in the wrong with what he did, you could tell by the post race interview with him. I think the penalty was a bit harsh, but he definitely deserved to be penalized and not get the win, I was expecting him to be put back somewhere between 1-3 laps down.
