I’ve never been a McMurray fan. But kudos to him for a clean win. He done good.
Finished where he started. Not a bad day.
Kudos to everyone who still had a car under them.

Yeah mine should be about off work by now. She’ll moan that Tony had a rough day but did win the Nationwide.
Yeah this was a heck of a race, now to next week, with all the rains down there I am expecting almost anything concerning its track.
LONG race weekend!
It was fun. Hoping for a more entertaining season than we’ve had recently; this was a good start. Thanks to NYTex for the thread and all who hung out!
