Most notably at this point, notElliot defended his position and no longer appears to be under immediate threat from Almondnigger while also maintaining "striking distance" from Chadstain.

Tires are now in play, Chadstain gives 3rd back to Briscoe.

Almondnigger sliding backwards. I'm starting to wonder if we're going to have a road course equivalent of last year's Spring Bristol race.

Tire wear was so bad, over the course of 500 laps, cars could keep the rubber on for about 15 and air in the tires for 25 laps MAXIMUM. So bad NASCAR had to release an extra set of tires from the already allotted 10 sets on the weekend.

Nigger Sayer among the first to pit.

CBell in, SVG in next time or not at all.

SVG does indeed come in.

CBell around in turn 2 and attempts violence on Almondnigger.

The leader pits from first and comes out second, could've sworn F1 was on break this weekend

And with that interesting display, Chadstain wins stage 1 followed by
SVG
nigger
Wreckard
Mini Rick
Tylenol
notElliot
12
Tyrese
Clyde

Custard and Legge speeding on pit road.

SVG and Mini Rick lead em green for stage 2

Slightly more conservative start for SVG, didn't clear Mini Rick until turn 3

Almondnigger off turn 2 doing a spot of lawn care.

Nematode around as well now.

The top four nose to tail counter to what we've seen. Entirely possible SVG got a bad tire pressure adjustment or Mini Rick and others got good adjustments.
Entirely possible SVG is just keeping the rubber on the tires.

I was about to say "Rowdy sisters we're done." but apparently his drop in position was from an obscenely long pit stop for changes that have paid off, he's up 8 spots since the restart.

SVG has somewhat increased his lead, our speculation is it's conservation not survival.

Brocevar PLast. Behind the likes of Nematode, Legge, and Ware.

We gonna need a lotta 'dente tonight hoss.

notElliot, running from the reprocussions possibly at hand from the 12 car, escapes to 2nd.
