Yep, that is a shame, cruising along minding His Own Business and the Wrecks caught Him from behind...! Looks like They will let Him Race some more...!

33 to go, and Jamie McMurry in the lead, at least for the start

Yeah. I guess the new engine package can adjust for power. I have to do some reading up on this, but Dega is a ways off.

Larson has a tire go down, with 19 to go.

Don't Look...!

 

[dara]

37,8, 21, 12, 21,38,10,6, 41, 36, and 95

 

[dara]

19 too, and 42, 13 as well

Red flag!

18 drivers.

So what I figure is from the new package is that all but short tracks and road races will have the smaller spacers and aeroducts.

Another wreck.

17 takes out the 42, as well as the 4, 2, 9.
