Anybody around here gonna be watching ??
 
Would love to be watching. But, I'm at work.. Please keep us updated! Thanx! :D
 
Looks like they will start, but rain is on the way!!

One lap to green, or boogity boogity boogity if you prefer!! ;)
 
Barrett
Keller
Sauter
Wimmer
Vickers

Mikey gets a Darlington stripe about 7 or 8 laps in
 
# 54, Hermie Sadler appears to have lost an engine.

137 to go
 
Johnny Sauter #21 PayDay car takes the lead on lap 17
 
Mikey in the wall again. Leaves Kerry nowhere to go.

Pile up and caution on lap 27.

Kerry Earnhardt, David Green, Larry Gunselman and Kevin Grubb are all involved I think.
 
Grubb got through clean, the others are all damaged. 4 cars involved.
 
Report of cut rear tire caused Mike to hit the wall, likely damaged in previous encounter with the wall.
 
Back to green, Todd Bodine has lead after pit stops.

Short green, back to caution lap 38, #44 Harmon loses it coming out of four, spins on the back straight, hits wall, front end trashed.

BGN can only change 3 sets of tires under caution, most will probably stay out.
 
Top 10 40 laps in, under caution

Todd Bodine
Scott Wimmer
Johnny Sauter
Scott Riggs
Mike Bliss
Jamie McMurray (from 22nd start)
Jason Keller
Brian Vickers
Ron Hornaday
Randy LaJoie
 
Cheese and crackers!!

Green Flag, Caution flag.

McMurray and Bliss get together going into turn one, Bliss hit wall hard. McMurray had run on Bliss, not enough room as both go for corner.......racing deal.
 
Restart lap 48,

Top ten unchanged except for Bliss, Shane Hmeil moves to to 10th.

McMurray takes 'em three wide and makes it work, very strong on the bottom, but very very risky!!
 
Wimmer hits wall pretty good on his own.....off the pace and to the pits, The car is hurt.
 
No caution, reckon the track is clear and Wimmer is rolling....

Top ten

Bodine
McMurray
Hronaday
Sauter
Riggs
Vickers
LaJoie
Keller
Grub
Hmeil
 
Tin Sauter pounds the wall in front straight....caution again lap 62
 
After stops

Bodine
Riggs
Hornaday
Vickers
LaJoie
Sauter
McMurray (lousy pit stop I guess)
Keller
Hmeil
Ashton Lewis, Jr
 
Chad Blount, Kasey Kahne and Coy Gibbs have all picked up some spots looking at the noobies
 
LaJoie is way out of sorts, has fallen to 17th. Car will not handle at all.

Halfway has past.
 
Kerry Earnhardt hits wall, cut tire....he is some 40 laps down already after contact with Waltrip earlier.
 
Shane Hmeil is picking up spots, in 6th now, and is as quick as anyone out there.
 
Riggs is the fastest car on the track, was about 2.5 seconds back a dozen laps ago and is now within .5 seconds of Bodine.....
 
And easily blows past Bodine already......color him gone right now!!!
 
Thanks for the updates HS! It's so crappy being stuck at work and not able to watch!
 
Excellent work by Kasey Kahne up to 11th from a 21st start

and Coy Gibbs even better, up to 13th after a 34th place start....
 
Yes, classy and smart by Todd,

Riggs was big time faster, no point in fooling around yet.

Pit stops soon, 42 laps to go
 
The TV folks give kudos to Hank Parker and he is earning them....running 6th and looks smooth and strong.
 
Some talk about going the rest of the way without stopping, I say no way...

Kahne is in the top ten now at 8th, parker is fastest car on track...
 
Leader pits, gonna take a bit to sort out...

Hmeil misses pit road, Bodine in...
 
Glad to see a couple guys stay out and try and make it the rest of the way without pitting.
 
Hank Parker and Stacy Compton. Lets see if the stragedy pays off.
 
Stacy Compton has not pitted and is currently the leader, everyone one else has pretty much pitted ,

Compton is 26 seconds ahead but 12 MPH slower than Riggs with 16 laps to go.

Should catch him , but it will be close at that rate...
 
Todd has passed Riggs for second ......14 seconds back from Compton.......
11 lap s to go
 
( laps to go..11 second gap.......Compton may not have enough fuel...
