NASCAR revises Watkins Glen finishing order

After reviewing video footage, NASCAR penalized revised the finishing order in Sunday's Watkins Glen Nextel Cup race. Boris Said & Ron Fellows were penalized 30 seconds for missing the inner loop on the final lap of the race. Said is 31st & Fellows is 32nd. Ryan Newman was also penalized for the same thing but it was reversed when it was determined that he spun out when Said hit him in the rear end. Newman was lucky to finish the race because his motor mounts broke and the motor was flopping around. Other guys moved up accordingly. Here's the revised finishing order.
