First yellow of the season, Cory LaJoie, lap 20.

 

[dara]

Lap 31 passed, Stenhouse in the lead. New entrants starting next week will be assigned the lowest points of the race, minus 10 pts, for this race.

 

[4me2c]

Wonder how long before Someone Swipes #17...!

 

[dara]

Well #17 bumped #1, and takes out #43 as well.

 

[dara]

Maybe not a real bump, but looked like Kurt got some bad air, a counter side draft.

 

[dara]

Also involved was McMurray (#40) and A. Dillon spun too.

Kyle Busch wins stage 1; 4me2c and Ryu get 10 bonus points.

I just Hope Kyle Busch has some Beans to go with those M&M's around Lap 195...! Some Beans that is...!

 

[dara]

Pretty clean race so far, and everyone seems to be on the same timing for the final pit stop/tires.
