Sunday was a difficult day for many NASCAR drivers at Watkins Glen, but was a pretty solid one for Greg Biffle. Although Biffle's sixth-place finish was not good enough to reclaim the top spot in the 2012 Sprint Cup Series standings, the previous leader Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was one of many drivers who spun out on the supposedly oil-slicked track. Earnhardt finished in 28th place and will slide to fourth in the overall standings. Jimmie Johnson -- who finished in third place on Sunday -- will become the new points leader.
The race to the checkered flag was a wild one indeed. Almost immediately after the while flag came out, leader Kyle Busch spun out, allowing Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose to engage in a dash for the lead that more closely resembled a World War I airplane dogfight. Eventually Ambrose was able to come out on top to take the checkered flag.
You can see the wild finish for yourself in the video below:
