[dara]

Green flag, about 3 laps in. Kyle Busch leading.

 

[4me2c]

Nbcsn...?!?

 

[4me2c]

Yep, thar she blows...!!!

 

[dara]

Crash before the stage flag, 77 spun and ran into the 5, but it appears the 5 should be able to continue. Bad luck for Larson.

 

[dara]

Stage 1 will end under Caution. Chris Buescher willl win stage 1, followed by Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski. Kyle Larson loses at least 1 lap.

 

[4me2c]

Dang Shame, #5 going along minding His Own Business then "BAMM"...!!! Still going tho...!! Possible to WIN even...!

 

[4me2c]

It's "Talladega Baby", anything is Possible...!!!

 

[dara]

It's uphill now for Larson. Not sure of the standings, but it looks like he can't sit back at the Roval (which I think would have been Elliott's).

 

[dara]

Rain coming into play.

 

[dara]

Red flag coming. Need 1/2 race for official.

 

[dara]

So Kyle Larson is in 39th for the race, and will have a chance to move up, he is +20 on the cut line. Chase Elliott is on the bubble.

 

[4me2c]

Is that a Susan G. Komen Pace Car...?!? "Pretty in Pink"...!!

 

[dara]

Race is now official, after Lap 94.

 

[dara]

Bowman spins, starting a mini-big one.

 

[4me2c]

Stenhouse was to hard on that push to Bowman...!!!

 

[dara]

Saw 19, 42 and 18 as involved.
