Yeah, if I could drink, lol. This one may be pushed to Monday, the way the track looks now. Overall circulation for the hurricane is bringing lots of water into the area,.

Luv how Kurt Busch took Ricky Craven's throw back scheme.... That was one of the best finishes here at Darlington back in the early 2000's.. Kurt and Craven beating at each other all the way to checker!!

The replay is in that coded link I posted earlier
(starting at 8:30 in the video)

Kurt Busch wins stage 1, no bonus points awarded.

Brother Kyle came from the back and is now 4th. Jimmie Johnson gets some points for 2nd to move up in the overall standings.

 

[crazed 9.6]

here we go.. Larson off pit in first. Larson can drive this track... even might holds most laps lead I think....
2years running he had this race but could not do the short runs at the end and well....

NEWMAN.

That spin hurt as he is one of the bubble guys.

 

[dara]

That old Bill Elliott car just looked slow, lol. All engine, all billboard.

Lajoie spins his Nestle Crunch scheme.

Yellow before the end of the 2nd stage, looks like Kyle Busch will get it.
