Interesting Starting Lineup.

Better pit stall picture.

I wonder how big the turn out will be. A few years ago I went and there wasn't many people. I went in 2009 too, and it was packed. I think Nascar is a dying breed.

Always find the green flag pit strategy interesting with people pitting early vs late and 4 tires vs 2.

Lap 68, the 77 car is being posted for failure to meet the minimum speed, they have one opportunity to pit and get the speed over the minimum.

 

[bdcardinal]

Caution lap 74, debris in turn 4. 21 car is the free pass. Looks like the 6 came up in front of the 17 and then went into the wall.

 

[Warstud]

Looks like a Stage 1 win is no big deal.

Some good racing going on today.

The 88 car reports debris on the back stretch, race control has the back stretch spotter check who reports nothing.
