"That's the most amazing finish I've been involved with in a long time," Edwards said.

Wow... That's awesome.
Though it's not as good as this. (Though admittedly he crossed the line for 6th if I recall.)

HAHA! Spa seems to produce stuff like this. Like the year it rained on the final laps of the F1 race and the leaders kept driving off the circuit.

Seriously? That's why the cars have fenders. In NASCAR, those guys are racing side-by-side to the finish.
