    Secondary Spoiler Alert -- more info below:

    Based on what I saw on live timing and reported elsewhere during the race, the first half hour or so might not be too thrilling unless you like crashes and clean up. If I remember right they had more caution periods than full green laps for quite a while. Many tried to blame the crowded field but they start the GS and ST cars in separate groups and from what I could tell the carnage was almost all in the GS field, and long before they had a chance to catch up with the ST field. After that the remaining drivers seemed to settle down and lots of green plus lots of cars still running meant plenty of racing.

    I have my DVR set. :Thumbsup:

    32 of the 68 race laps were under caution - including 18 of the first 19.

    Mark in the 197 and Kyle in the 198 got no laps under green. :incazzato:

    Dicky in the 195 and Ron in the 196 got 3 or 4 at most. :frown2:

    The first 28 ST cars and the first 14 GS cars finished on the lead lap [the GS cars were doing most of the "wrecking"]

    Watching it now. Crazy GS drivers! Just watched an interview with someone after the second scene of carnage blaming the speed differential of the 2-class field. Idiot. Both of the first two smash-ups have been among GS drivers over-driving themselves and their cars at start and restart with the entire ST field on the opposite side of the track!

    Yea.....those GS guys need to learn where the brake pedal is, especially that Mustang team WOW

    Looked like a very exiting race, at least the last half, what with the weather warning and such.


    So is RSR going to go with the Hondas next year.....( or maybe the Kia's :biggrin5:)?

    Watched that crash fest. The 1st hour of that race was a real mess, really glad it was on the DVR.
