Yeah, he licked the wall pretty hard that last time … there was no recovering from that one.

It was crazy to still see him running well after the 2nd one! I wished it would have worked the third caution! But he hit the darn wall hard!

Yeah, that was nuts how many cautions Newman was involved in. What was even crazier was the fact that he was still running good after the 2nd one! I think there were what, like 7 cautions in the last 40 laps of the race?

Thanks for the compliment, Don. Yeah, I’m not really sure what exactly happened to Harvick at the end of the race … last I remember, he was running well within the top-10, but I guess he got lost in the shuffle during that last caution. I’m pretty confident he’ll find his way back to the top-12, though.

Yeah, it’s no problem.
WOW! That was some race! I can’t believe Newman wound up in three cautions! It’s disappointing, but the race was still good. It was just caution after caution! Anyway, hope Tony feels better.

No worries. Your race reviews continue to be one of the best I come across avery week.
Good race. I am a little bummed that Harvick has dropped outside the top 12. I am not worried he will make the chase, but he his a good enough driver that I expect him to be running in the top 5.

Just want to apologize to everyone for getting this up late. We’ve been having some connectivity issues with our internet the last couple of days. Thanks for bearing with me!
