The Busch cars always have the problem of limited tires.
MM using the scuffs first, sounds like Tony's stratergery as well.

Yep. Looks like Kenseth's out of horsepower; Hmiel's pulled away with 3rd.
Hmiel has 2 sets of stickers, and we've got a couple drops (DW says keep the vortex going).

Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be ok. Although today's report said that too. Fontana is set up against the mountains there, so any weather tends to scoot right along that front side.

Starting to see more raindrops on the lenses, and it's real dark behind the backstretch.
Martin's checking out (1.1 seconds up on Smoke, 2.2 on Hmiel, 4.5 on Kenseth).

Grissom black-flagged. We lose another car from the vortex.

Just enough, though.
Reid (collects the points), Sauter and Wolfe stay out, and now Reid pits. Race off pit road - 9 59 (fuel only for him) 17 33 32 21 41 60

Isn't the track west of San Bernadino... under the cross hair symbol... by the little green blob?

Sauter now collecting the points; Wolfe also trails him.
