[dara]

For those keeping score... Stage 1 won by Joey Logano, followed by Chase Elliott, and Harrison Burton.

I see Larson, Bell and Keselowski already out, Blaney is in last place, Truex now on the bubble, +1.

[dara]

Picking Ryan Blaney. He's on the bubble, but will get in outright with a win.

I am the kiss of death, lol.

[4me2c]

Those Front-runners better beware as there is a Outhouse, errrrrrr, Jr. Stenhouse in the Front Mix...!!!

[4me2c]

If One has USTVGO, CNBC is inside...!!?

[4me2c]

KyB, Truex, Hamlin in Stage 2...!!!

[dara]

Kyle Busch wins Stage 2, followed by Martin Truex and Denny Hamlin. If no new winner, both Truex and Blaney make the playoffs, Blaney on the bubble at +200.

[dara]

oooh, Truex involved in a mini-big one, after McDowell spins in front of the pack.

[dara]

1, 7, 8, 17, 19, 24, and 34 involved in the Lap 102 crash.

[dara]

Another wreck.. bigger than the last one. 23, 21, 14,48 at least.

[dara]

Involved in Lap 125 wreck:
3, 14, 21, 23, 38, 41, 47, 48.

3 going backwards into the pit lane was especially scary.

[dara]

43 and 22 spin, lap 130. Haley betting on a rain out, so he stayed out and is in the lead.

[4me2c]

Truex has managed to get back to the 16th spot and has a Good Chance of Making the Cut and with the amount of Laps left, He can still eeeek out a WIN, if it doesn't start raining again...!!!

[dara]

Huge wreck. #3 makes it though., and no one else. And its raining.

[dara]

All the cars in the lead spun on rain...

[4me2c]

Another Assident...!!!

[4me2c]

Huge wreck. #3 makes it though., and no one else. And its raining.


#4 Was just behind Him and got thru after initial contact up front...! Truex also got thru, after...!!

[dara]

Coming in to red flag with 21 to go. They might call the race, lots of time left in the day.

[dara]

at least 30 min delay, due to lightning and wet track. I think they don't call the race here, but what do I know. If it was night time, they would have for sure.

[dara]

Engine start... lets go!

[dara]

Green flag, Cindric leading (with a win)

[dara]

Truex can't afford to drop back a place, if there is a new winner.

[dara]

Truex is now on the bubble, Blaney ahead.

[dara]

Now A. Dillon ahead, Cindric slipped back after getting air bumped by Dillon.

[dara]

Austin Dillon wins, and gets the playoff spot. Blaney gets the last spot, Truex out. Followed by Tyler Reddick and Austin Cindric.
