Real yellow #2 - Larson spins all alone. Shot right across Keso's bow, but no touch.

7 lap to go in the 2nd heat. Harvick up front before pit stops.

Harvick wins heat 2.

McMurray spins into the grass, plows a few furrows and gets stuck.

This wreck was much calmer than his rolling over Newman and rolling down the track a while back.

Final pit stops were about to start, so will this turn into a fuel mileage race since stops are 10 laps early?

From a Jayski's tweet;

Caution for debris. There a tire in the infield grass.

A tire falls off and the driver doesn't notice? That is a well balanced car! :lol:

10 laps to go. Any second now for the Big One? 4 wide behind the SHR leaders.

And with 5 to go, signs of twitchiness back there.

 

[GA_Boater]

2 to go and at least 3 cars are spinning. Yeley, Bowman and Byron.

Overtime at Dega! And how many have the gas?

 

[GA_Boater]

There it is after the #41 crosses the start/fnish line. No idea how many wreck, but no yellow. But Almirola slipped past a fuel-less BuschX1 for the win and free pass to the next round.

FloridaFishingNetwork jumped to the top of the heap with Almirola's win. Final results on Monday or Tuesday

Those Stewart Haas cars had something figured out! Exciting finish!

I was in the Furniture Row pits. Martin had a broken differential ring gear and front sway bar end link after 5 laps. It was tough to wrestle that car around the track. Maybe Kansas will be more kind to him. He has done well there lately.

FloridaFishingNetwork is our winner in the 5th playoff race at Talladega. Congrats, FFN.

Fasteddie370 is still the league overall leader.

The 6th race in the playoffs is a Cup elimination race at Kansas. Trucks are also running, while X-Men enjoy a week off.

Taking the boy to his first race this Saturday at Kansas Speedway. Can't wait!

Just read that the number 42 received a L1 penalty for last weeks race and the winner had a loose lugnut, so $10K fine for his team.
