Some may not like road-course racing. That’s fine, but consider it this way. The evolution of NASCAR began on back roads with moonshine runners behind the wheel. They were the original road racers!

Look ma - no lugnuts!
Surely that thing had to be vibrating like crazy for laps before?
Lap 28 - Kyle Busch leads the cars that hadn’t yet stopped down it road. Tony Stewart left his stall with equipment, so he’ll have to come back in. Kasey Kahne took fuel only.
Lap 27 - The left-rear tire on Kurt Busch’s car has fallen off. It appears the lugs weren’t in place. He spins out of 11th place.
Lap 26 - YELLOW FLAG: Jamie McMurray tags the guardrail at the top of the esses to bring out the race’s first caution.
Lap 25 - Kyle Busch leads Juan Montoya by 1.2 seconds and third-place Tony Stewart by 17.5. How much are the newer tires worth?
Lap 24 - Brad Keselowski gives up third place to roll onto pit road. Kasey Kahne is pitting. His air-conditioning unit is not working. It had been filling his helmet with smoke before he disconnected it. Aric Almirola pits.
Lap 23 - Jeff Gordon hits the pits. Kevin Harvick’s car is also being serviced.
Lap 22 - Could the leaders be thinking about making this just a two-stop race? Maybe so ... maybe so.
Lap 21 - Marcos Ambrose makes his stop.
Lap 20 - Kyle Busch, Juan Montoya, Brad Keselowski and Marcos Ambrose are staying on the track for the time being.
Lap 19 -Jimmie Johnson is pitting.
Something broke on Juan’s car :(
Them cars are fallijng apart.. Juan Poblar now in the garage,, I’m down two so far.. I should have gone with Mears and Boooyaaaa
I should have left Juan on the bench and gone with Truex Jr. Tubeblender tricked me into picking Montoya.
