Nationwide Series 2012 - 24 Atlanta

Well personally I had a horrid race.  Brought out the caution almost every time.  Darrel also experienced some awful luck as he was black flagged while leading and going into the pits.  After that he was in a bad position and got knocked around.  Scot moved into 14th and had a good finish with Sandy not far behind.  Chad also had a rather satisfying finish after making a mess with 2 to go.  Hopefully Richmond will be better for everyone.

Nationwide Series 2012 - 23 Bristol Night

Yet another error race.  Darrel, Scot and I received illegitimate DQs.  Sandy got a slightly bogus black flag that made him finish 27th and Chad had an amazing save that put him in the path of all of the field which thought he was a beer can in the road.  His car looked like one when he stopped moving.  I've dropped the points for this race on the DQers to be replaced later.  Hopefully Atlanta will fare better...
