Bunching up the nationwide race to keep it, um, 'exciting', is what caused a massive wreck and lots and lots of future lawsuits.

I watched the last few laps of the 500, they could have thrown the yellow on the last lap but chose not to. As much as they would have liked another Green-White-Checker finish, they probably wanted to keep their star driver safe and not get her caught up in a melee that would blacken their eye a little more.

Just my thoughts while I watched the ending of the race.
