NASCAR/Nationwide Steals Another Victory

Tonight, NASCAR stole another race from a driver when they threw a phantom yellow flag near the end of the Atlanta.  At the Indy race earlier this year, Elliot Sadler was penalized for jumping a start even though he was he was being pushed and the leader wasn't up to speed.  This time, Kevin Harvick was the victim of NASCAR's theft.
Harvick had the car of the race.  He led around 150 laps or so and was completely dominate.  His leads were often more than 7 or more seconds over second place.
Then with about 13 laps, Brad Keslowski was caught throwing out a half full bottle of Vitamin water or some kind of sports drink out the driver's side window.  Right after he did that, NASCAR threw the caution flag for debris on the track.  NASCAR claims the water bottle was not the cause of the yellow, but when ESPN looked for the debris, all they could find was a small piece of debris tight against the wall- not causing any problems for the drivers, but may have caused a problem with any ants who may have wandered into the area.
Regardless, the caution came out and wiped out Harvick's big lead.  The next restart, Harvick again took a big lead but that was wiped out by a crash that involved Danica Patrick and James Buescher, among others.
The red flag flew for about 10 minutes.  Then when the final restart happened, Harvick and Ricky Stenhouse battled for the lead and Stenhouse took the lead and held on to win a race that Harvick probably should have won.
NASCAR is starting to lack creditability this year.  From boring races to stolen races to boring drivers, we are slowly seeing the popularity of NASCAR declining and if they don't watch out, we may be seeing NASCAR go the way of Indy cars.
