Nascar Cup 2011 Race 26 - Richmond

PC issues aplenty.  That and my car enjoyed 1st gear more than 3rd so I was the cause of many cautions.  Darrel had freezing issues and Scot's anti-virus and windows teamed up to cripple his race.  See the replay when posted for details.  Oh and first race with Football cars.  Very lovely.

On to...ugh...Homestead.
