6 laps to go in the Xfinity race and its some great racing.
AJ Almindinger (one of the best at road courses) is trying to get by Briscoe for the lead, but Briscoe is holding him off.

Opps , spoke too soon. AJ and Cindric both get by Briscoe with 4 to go !!!

Things changed so fast.
With 1 to go, Briscoe is back out front !!
