B-main top 4

Cummins
Barrow
Christian
Smith

Burton led the first 11 laps then went over the cushion and off the track in turn 2.

A-main

Having PA problems tonight so can't hear very well.

Red flag lap 5
Very easy rollover by mark smith

Bilbee leads over holzclaw then schurenburg and bland I think. I'll post the top 5 as soon as they line up for the restart.

Top 5 at restart are:
Bilbee, holzclaw, schurenburg, tmez, bland

Yellow flag,
Holzclaw and tmez get together. Both have stopped. Looks like tmez has nerf bar rubbing tire. Holzclaw has restarted. Tmez on wrecker.

Stanbrough up to 8th, Bilbee still in lead. Getting ready for start

Caution for Brisco stop on backstretch. He restarted.

Another caution on restart. KC and 23 car together in turn 1.

Top 5:
Bilbee, schurenburg,bland, 5 car(kinser?), hupp, stanbrough

Caution for car off between 1 and 2. Top 5 same as before. 11 laps to go

Bilbee spun throught grass in 3&4. Caution came out. Looks like he's going to 5th. Don't know how they figured that out. Top 5 now:
Schurenburg bland stanbrough Bilbee and kinser

WOW!

Finish
Schurenburg
Bilbee

Not sure who was after them. Bland and stanbrough were there. Was busy watching Bilbee. Sent him back to 5th with about 2 to go. Passed a couple hard hitters in two laps. He was mad(and a lot of fans too) that they sent him to 5th after the caution but they said that's where he crossed the start/finish line when the caution came out. But he would have lost at least that many positions if they didn't bring out the yellow and I think he's lucky they didn't send him to the tail. I do feel for him though. I think he was the car to beat tonight. Nobody had anything for him in the heat or feature.
Bland was 3rd and Stanbrough was 4th

It seems like at most tracks I've been to that if you are the cause of the caution you go to the tail. Doesn't matter if you stop or keep going so I think he was lucky there. If they didn't throw the yellow I think he may have lost more spots. If nothing else it bunched up the 4 cars in front of him which helped him out. I don't see why he was mad. I dont see how they could've put him back up front when he was the reason for the caution and lost spots because of his own actions.

Nick went hard into 3&4 and threw it sideways to avoid hitting a slower car, looked like he was going to stall. (at least that's what I thought) Then he cut it straight down acrossed the track and across the infield. He never stopped but I think the flagman thought he was going to an threw the yellow. I knew that no matter what they did it wasn't going to be the right call. The flagman just kept standing there leaning on the front of the flagstand as they tried to figure out what to do up in the tower. I was surprised they didn't send him to the tail, but glad that they didn't. Nick was having one heck of a night and in my eyes was about to win himself a Feature. Kudos also to JS for a good run from 16 to 4th, had to pass a couple guys twice.
