Another point I (also a Jr. fan) look at it is that Jr. costed himself a win by locking the brakes on the final stop. That wound up putting him in the position that kept him from being the control car in the restart due to having to drive back through the field. In the end, controlling the restart is what ultimately got Joey the win. Also, as stated often, it isn't Joey's fault that Harvick decided to pull a JWT out of nowhere which brought out the caution that sealed Joey's win.
I already agree with that, but he salvaged that to be in the exact spot for the win, and even if he didn't and stayed first off of the pit lane, this issue would have still happened. Also controlling it really didn't help Joey, because as Junior said the bottom line was the faster. Junior could have given a setup where he had his team mate behind and Joey had his, but that wouldn't have guaranteed a faster restart either. Also not sure about your last part since I just said I don't think it's Joey's fault either.
