The Twerp came in before pit road closed and was caught speeding. Pass through penalty for him and he's next to last on the restart.

Restart on lap 30. 5 laps and 10 minutes for the heat break out of 25. Ridiculous!

Day spins and Stenhouse hits him causing much damage to the #17. Jr. forced Laron up on the curb, came back into Jr. who hit Danica and Day spins to avoid with Stenhouse hitting Day. All caused by 3 wide into a 90[SUP]0 [/SUP]turn. It can't be done!

2nd real caution for this.

The Dinger wheel hops in the Carousel, get clipped by Larson. No yellow, but damage to both with The Dinger getting the short end.

Truex had tire changing probs - Dropped to 5th on the restart from the lead.

8 laps left in heat, JJ leading.

Johnson wins Heat #2 with about a 5 second lead. His best road course performance was in Busch at Watkins Glen before he moved up to Cup. One for the high (or low) light reels when he had a dramatic styrofoam shredding experience.

Truex is having all kinds of trouble.

Then the CC tells pit reporter the motor is OK. A few laps later he pits with a smoking motor. Oooops

The Twerp finished in 5th spot. May be the two loose lugnuts allowed him to improve his position coming out of the final pit stop. Penalty coming for him.

I remember that JJ WG hit in the Busch series. One of the worst I have seen besides Mikey (#30 Pennzoil car) and Mike Harmon hitting at Bristol on 2 separate occasions.

Looks like I got 7th. Truex and Danica killed me. In my Yahoo league I had Harvick (Group A-1st), MacMurray and Bowyer (Group B-10th and 2nd) and Suarez (Group C~17th). Pretty good lineup, huh? But right before the race I had the bright idea of swapping Bowyer for 'Dinger. Killed my results :facepalm:. Oh well

JJ at The Glen is worth a replay. The styro didn't slow him down a bit. From 2000, 17 years ago.

Way to go Tubby! As for my team ... they were too busy getting knocked out/around to finish well. Hey, "I'm 23rd!"
