Gordon thinks he won Montreal race

Oh Canada, what a race you saw. It was 49 years ago the last time NASCAR had a major event north of the border, and it was probably at least that long since NASCAR had a finish as crazy and controversial as this one.

Kevin Harvick earned the most improbable victory of his career, going from worst-to-first in a car that had no business being in Victory Lane.

Robby Gordon not only thought he won the NAPA Auto Parts 200, he celebrated at the finish line as if he had won it. Gordon was doing doughnuts and raising his arms in front of the crowd while Harvick was doing the same.

Gordon did cross the line ahead of everyone else, but NASCAR had black-flagged him before the two-lap overtime finish began.

Confusion, anger, deliberate wrecking, penalties to the apparent leader at the end. The packed grandstands on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course saw it all in the Busch debut in Canada.

"If they came here for a show, that was one awesome show," said Max Papis, who finished third. More at ESPN.com
