As Blaney was about to cross the finish line, NASCAR threw the caution for a relatively routine spin by Ricky Stenhouse Jr.Blaney thought he had won the race – he would have under normal race rules – and lowered his window net, which keeps drivers’ arms from flailing out of a car during an accident. Moments after thinking he had won, he was told he had not, and he not only was flabbergasted that he had not won, he also had to get the window net latched, something that is done by another crew member prior to the race.Blaney was able to get the window net up to NASCAR’s satisfaction and then held off Denny Hamlin on a two-lap race to the finish to capture the All-Star Race and the $1 million prize."I was angry for about three seconds when they said the race wasn't over yet, and then it switched to, oh, s--- my window net is down and I've got another problem I've got to deal with," Blaney said. "I felt like that did kind of take my head away from getting upset that the race wasn't over, but I would have rather not had the window net issue and just dealt with, man, I've got to get another restart."Three takeaways from a confusing night in Texas:Hamlin upset, but not at BlaneyHamlin said NASCAR did not follow its rules as there is no way a driver could safely latch the window net from inside the car.
