Nascar Cup 2011 Race 24 - Bristol Night

A race that promised so much in the start ended with great disappointment.  We all managed to be 1-4 at one point.  Disasters all around.  But you'll see that from the video.  Sandy managed to limp around to a 21st place finish.  The rest of us did not survive.  Atlanta is next in line.  Mind the pit road speed.
