Some how I didn't pick a race winner, only the mfg. Chevy didn't win.

Missed the 1st heat of the X-Race again.

Briscoe is having issues. He had a flat and a broken shock, good thing he won last week to get into the final 4.

Jones won heat 1.

Two Burtons in the race. Caution for Jeb this time. A spin and hitting the wall. 69 laps to go with Chastain leading under yellow.

Chastain took 4 tires during the caution and restarted in 3rd. He took the lead back and has 30 laps to go.
