Brad too fast exiting.

That was really a snoozefest IMO. The Hamlin/Harvick battle was good, and there were exciting moments at times, but overall, it wasn't as dramatic as I hoped and expected it to be.
 
The All-Star only further highlights the problem with these cars; they're far too aero dependent. Hamlin moves into Harvick's line, Harvick loses the nose, race over.
 
Kyle Busch, who hasn't been in a car for three months, is still beating Danica. (I know she blew and engine, but still.)

Way to go "fans." Great waist of a spot.

So lets count that:

- Beaten by Matt Crafton in his first ever cup race.
- Beaten by David Reagan in both the 34 AND 18 (and possibly the 55 despite the spin).
- Beaten by Greg Biffle, the slowest Roush car this year.
- Beaten by Kyle Busch in his first race back.

Eric Jones would've been on that list had he not lost control.

Eric jones was also on his way to likely finishing 4th or outright winning in his 1st start. If I were JGR, and the cap on teams didn't exist, I'd be definitely working on making room for him
 
Good luck to all drivers and teams racing later today at Iowa Speedway in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Race hard, be safe, and have fun racing the superspeedway-like short track at Iowa.


And not to be remiss, congratulations to Denny Hamlin on winning a cool $1M USD from last night's All-Star Race.
 
Carl Long brought out the first caution 3 laps into the race. That's kind of ironic.
 
Because they've already been Bayned at Talladega and Biffed at Atlanta. Don't recall if Stenhouse has caused a major pile-up yet.
There are still plenty of chances for him to do it.

It just dawned on me that Roush is essentially the BK racing of Xfinity series. You know that at least one caution a race will usually be due to one of their cars.
 
Did Poole get parked? I missed that part because I was trying to do some college coursework.
 
This fight for third is one of the most exciting battles that has happened in this series so far.
