NHRA over NASCAR

Did Matt Kenseth really win the Daytona 500, or the Daytona 380?

As I was watching Matt Kenseth accepting the congratulations for winning the Daytona 380, I began wondering, 'Does the guy really want to win that way? Why can't they just comeback and complete the race Monday?'
You can bash the NHRA all you want for some of their decisions, but at least the winner in Top Fuel, Funny Car or Pro Stock still has to win four rounds to wind up in the victory circle, no matter how many days it takes. Can you imagine if the NHRA awarded a Wally after the semifinals, and said, 'Schumacher gets it based on his e.t. advantage in the semifinals.'
Just a thought.

No,Matt or anyone else for that matter wants to win a race that way. Just last year at California Speedway,that race was completed on a rainy weekend & that's the most boring race on the schedule.
