No Scot, tonight. No Odie either. We all did OK for what it was. We were all throughout the field for qualifying and things started off badly for Chad and Darrel, though no yellow immediately. In fact most of the race was full of yellows-that-were-not. But we did have a few good green flag runs early. Then towards halfway, we had a long string of cautions and a lot of black flags. Mostly from a lot of confusion from the cautions themselves. Along with AI being idiots

Darrel ended up up taking a final tumble after getting slammed around by over zealous lap leaders. Chad and Sandy managed to stick with it, even after insufferable damage, and stayed in there for some decent finishes. On to Texas for some high banked- high speed turns. No pictures tonight, I'm a bit too lazy.
