Race 1 Roundup
Well, as the title says, here is the round up for the NNC, BGN, and the CTS.
NNC: Tony Stewart led for 107 laps, but a late-late race rally by Jeff Gordon relegated Stewart to 7th, leaving Gordon with the win. It was Gordon's 3rd Daytona 500 win, 5th for Hendrick Motorsports. There were 11 cautions, damaging 5 cars, with Scott Wimmer taking the worst of it: tumbling down Turn 4. It's Gordon's 70th win. Dale Jarrett, the pole sitter, finishes 15th.
BGN: After 42 starts in the BGN series, Tony Stewart finally got his first win in the Hersey's Take 5 300. After being sent through the Turn 1 grass after a bump from Carl Edwards sent Stewart there. 6 cautions flew over the race track. The pole sitter, Joe Nemechek, finishes 14th.
CTS: Bobby Hamilton barely edges out Jimmy Spenser for the Florida Dodge Dealers 250 after a last-lap caution came out. The pole sitter, Kerry Earnhardt, was involved in a crash that took him out of the running. Wild rides went to Rick Crawford and Chad Chaffin, who all took tumbles at the track.
Well, I would like to hear your thoughts about these races here.
Next track: California (NNC, CTS, BGN)
