1. Kyles championship
Kyle Busch captured the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season title, 15 bonus points, and got a trophy. He was not happy finishing eighth at Indy. Ugly day, Busch said before the award presentation. Thats not what we were hoping for; grand scheme, cool to get bonus points.
2. Late cautions
Two cautions over the last 16 laps helped Brad Keselowski overtake Denny Hamlin for the win. Hamlin was not happy. He said the yellow flags were shown for meaningless guys who wrecked. Hamlin got into the playoffs on points.
3. Tough brakes
Its rare to see multiple brake- system failures, but Indy produced two that caused the yellow flag to come out of the holster. Martin Truex Jr. and Bubba Wallace each had brakes come apart. Truex maintained control of his car, but Wallace crashed hard into the outside wall.
