Even though we had to requalify, things didn't change much except Scot was up at the front and Chad dropped two to 20th. A clean start and no mulligans were used.
About 4 laps in, Chad got clipped at the dog leg by wife-beater.
He recovered from that incident only to be slammed by Newman.
If that weren't enough, Patrick and Stenhouse ran their cars into the wall and ran right up on Chad. While Stenhouse Jr didn't clip him, Danica didn't care.
A handful of laps after the green, Chad got hit by Dillon. What an ass.
Nearing the halfway point, Scot was run wide by Stewart.
Scot saved the car but in doing so brought himself back down in the racing line in front of Kenseth who had no regard for his safety.
The resulting crash was of Scot proportions.
And caused a big ol' bottle neck on the front stretch.
The next yellow was about 3/4 through between Chad and Trevor Bayne.
Chad's ride gave up the ghost yet Trevor continued on.
On that restart, Scot was a lap down from repairing damage and ran over Landon Cassill.
A few more cars out and massive congestion on the front stretch.
Despite an amazing team effort and driving skill by Mad Max, his car could no longer carry on, burdened by the damage it suffered and died with 10 to go.
Darrel and I took a 2-1 finish for the night, with me slamming the wall off of four and destroying myself in style.
And others joined in. Sandy managed to get a top 25, although he will be hunting a certain Joey Logano for revenge.
The final race at Homestead is next week and I have a new track for us to try. I'll send it on out.
