On the bright side, this means even if not all in the same race, we now get Dale Jr, Harvick, Brad, Byron, Chase etc all racing on the same day in a doubleheader.

[Spotter22]

Great crowd and they are still filing in.

 

[Spotter22]

Grill pressuring Heim- 47 to go

 

[Spotter22]

Caution lap 40 Stalled car

 

[Spotter22]

Fires it before a wrecker comes around probably a 2 lap penalty

 

[virtualbalboa]

Just tuned in - Hopefully we don't get another caution flag and get to run this one out under green.

 

[Spotter22]

Grill to the lead

 

[Spotter22]

Hettinger to 5th

 

[Spotter22]

Caution 36 laps to go

 

[Spotter22]

Looks like they will have a crowd comparable to the August race last year

 

[virtualbalboa]

Lmao Jordan Taylor is appearing in the running position banner under his "Rodney Sandstorm" moniker. I don't even know what to say about that. Amused and bemused simultaneously.

 

[Spotter22]

Grill still out front 20 to go. 3 car length lead over Hiem

 

[Spotter22]

Grill works lapped traffic a little better than Hiem but Corey closing back in 11 to go

 

[Spotter22]

lapped traffic a factor!! 7 to go nose to tail

 

[Spotter22]

Grill works traffic like a boss pulls away 4 to go

 

[Spotter22]

Grill wins Hiem 2nd

 

[Spotter22]

Crowd were on their feet

 

[Spotter22]

Good race but top groove needs to come in

 

[virtualbalboa]

Good clean finish, no BS. Heim could have sent it and wrecked Grill if he really wanted in the last couple of laps and instead he chose to race clean. All too often that's not what happens.

 

[aunty dive]

Grill and Heim did a nice job controlling their very loose cars.

Hettinger finished 5th. Congratulations to her.

I agree with Corey, I thought Grill did a little better job of saving but Corey did a good job having not been in a car like that for a while

 

[Spotter22]

Who you got in this one? I think I'm gonna go with Butterbean.

Giovanni Ruggiero is related to Reggie, right? Not that I haven't just googled it and wasn't able to find a single article even mentioning the question much less answering it.

 

[Spotter22]

Why arent they having drivings walk out? Not very good planning

I have no idea, is he from that area?

 

[virtualbalboa]

I have no idea, is he from that area?

Yeah, looks like he's from around Seekonk too. Reggie is a legend in New England. One of the all time great modified drivers anywhere period.

I know all about him

 

[Spotter22]

Spotters are in 4 on top of that building. Thats where it was the last time I spotted there

 

[Spotter22]

Track problem?

 

[HoneyBadger]

Carson Kvapil is liable to win out at this rate.

 

[Spotter22]

30 lap pit stop? I dont recall this from last year

 

[HoneyBadger]

I miss Tony Stevens.
