Best. Finishes. Ever. Well almost, but certainly for this series. The very first 1-2-3 finish. Chad nearly got his first win and probably would have if it weren't for an awkward pit stop and a little overzealous driving at the end. But even still, this is one of his best finishes and he was crushing the field the entire race. Scot also managed a great 3rd place. Didn't do anything crazy, obscene, destructive, foolish, childish, crafty, or lackadaisically but opted to be consistent and smooth. Darrel survived a violent wreck into pit road early on but kept it together until the end, passing several wrecked cars (thanks, Carl) and stealing a 23rd. Sandy pulled a similar feat and grabbed 21st.
We'll break for a week so Darrel can enjoy a trip to Savannah and we'll come back 4/18. Good job everyone.
