Executive summary: bleh. While the Indycar crowd put up an excellent race, NASCAR responded with a dud. Using the low-horsepower, high-drag package is always a receipe for a dull race, and Charlotte was exactly that, with everyone nicely spaced out and very little action of any kind. Kurt Busch had an engine failure, Ryan Newman blew a tire, and Kyle Busch actually managed to pass some cars. Aside from that, 400 laps of not much happening. Everyone pretty much finished right where they started (even Newman!). Bleh.

I posted this over in the hidden RR comments, but I'll post it here too.
To further prove your point, 25 cars finished within 4 positions of where they qualified. Not counting 3 top starters who encountered trouble (Truex, Chastain, Busch), that gives us 71% of the remaining 35 cars that finished very close to where they started.
In this race 20 years ago, just 8 of 43 cars finished within 4 positions of where they started. And half the field finished 15+ positions away from where they started!
