Watch Justin Allgaier win at Montreal amidst all the craziness

Yes, Danica Patrick's run-in with a shoe may go down as the most memorable event of Saturday's Nationwide race at Montreal, but the rest of the race was pretty wild as well.
Justin Allgaier passed Jacques Villeneuve for the race lead on the final lap after getting into Villeneuve's back bumper. It initially looked that Villeneuve was out of gas -- the race had been extended six laps thanks to a second attempt at a green white-checker attempt and Villeneuve was trying to make it over 40 laps on a tank of fuel.
For many, it felt like just desserts for Villeneuve, who has been become known for his, shall we say, aggressive driving style in the Nationwide Series. Heck, earlier in the race, he dumped fellow Canadian Alex Tagliani. And that contact was juuuuuuust a tad more prolonged than the contact with Allgaier. (A few laps earlier, Tagliani hit Villeneuve's back bumper when he went for the lead in turns one and two.)
So, yeah, Montreal didn't disappoint again. Wouldn't you like to see the Cup Series race here?

Catching up with our year-long Fireball Cup competition, recognizing excellence in the field of NASCAR brawling. Our reigning champion holds on to his throne, but there are challengers starting to line up. As we've been away doing silly things like Olympics and golf, we freely admit that we may not have remembered all the fights in the last few weeks. You'll get your chance to weigh in below.
Recall our rules, which can and do change on a whim:
• Verbal/Twitter exchange; slightly aggressive driving leading to issues: 1 point
• Bumping cars in an aggressive, making-a-point fashion: 2 points
• Spin, non-critical: 3 points
• Spin, critical: 4 points
• Out of car, punches thrown: 5 points
Fireball Cup stats, updated:
• Kevin Harvick battling Amber Cope both on the track and on Twitter: 2 points
• Kurt Busch getting infuriated with Trevor Bayne at Daytona in July: 1 point
• Brad Keselowski pulling an aggressive (though possibly unintentional) spin of Kyle Busch at Watkins Glen: 3 points
Which gives us current standings of:
1. Kurt Busch, 8 points
2. Kevin Harvick, 5 points
T3. Jeff Gordon, 4 points
T3. Ryan Newman, 4 points
T3. Danica Patrick, 4 points
T6. Dale Earnhardt Jr., 3 points
T6. Brad Keselowski, 3 points
8. Jimmie Johnson, 2 points
T9. Matt Kenseth, 1 point
T9. Joey Logano, 1 point
T9. Paul Menard, 1 point
T9. David Ragan, 1 point
T9. Tony Stewart: 1 point
