They are going to send Gragson and others to driving school after this race … Gragson into the SAME barrier 4 times in 55 laps!

Race has been shortened to 75 laps because of impending darkness … guys are pushing and spinning …

Shane Van G, Supercars champion is pushing Justin Haley for the lead with 8 laps to go. He was passing Haley when Truex Jr slide into the barrier and brought out the caution. Bell lead most of the race but got caught in Chicago Rush Hour traffic and is stuck in 22nd place.

SVG made a great pass on Haley and stretched out to a 1.6 second lead before Bubba blindsided Stenhouse and brought out the yellow … Overtime

Not a big nascar fan but tuned in for a little bit to see what all the hoopla was about. Kinda cool concept. In the short while I watched seemed every few minutes someone was smashing into the tire barriers. The chevys were out front.

I thought it was a disaster. I'm not a big racing fan, but aren't there enough different kinds of racing where they don't need to try to blend two together?
