OK... I'm putting this up now... with the start time I'm not sure how much of the race I'll be home for... but I'll do what I can.... I don't get home until sometime between 12 and 1230 pacific so when the races start so early I miss most of it...
OK.... I'm home... but I have no idea how Tony was 7th when I stoped to pick up lunch and by the time I drove the mile home he was 28th... apparently he had to make a unscheduled pit stop.... but so for what I gather they are out of sequence and with the stops of everyone else they are now back tp P3 but they have to stop... I'm a bit confused....
It's lap 219 and I now show Tony in P4... I'd say we need a yellow fast before they have to pit... Darian said a few minutes ago that they had about another 15 or 20 laps before they would have to stop... There are cars on better tires and they are passing Tony's to P5 now...
Lap 223... Tony is getting eaten up by the guys with tires... they are just hopeing to get a yellow out before they have to stop... Yellow is out! So the yellow came out debris so they get to get back in sequence... back to P7 Darian said good job on holding on and working back up... They are talking about what to do with the car... Tony is saying that the balance is good but he can't run that hard because of the tires... Darian is saying they (goodyear) is saying it's their problem but that a bunch of people are having the same problem... (I'm still lost on what's been happening....)
OK tony came out of that I think in about 9th??? Darian is telling Tony that those tires were like the first set with one little blister... OK from what I can gather... Tony, Jimmie and Jeff have all had tire issues... and it sounds like a bunch of others have too... ???? I hate getting home so late and being so lost with the race... I HATE they standard start times... OK Tony is not so happy with someone... I'm not sure who, but apparently someone didn't understand a hand signal and trying to say sorry but Tony and Bob aren't happy about it....
OK lap 228 under yellow and Tony in P8...
should be going green next time by... Green flag lap 229...
Lap 230 droped to P9... Lap 231 to P11... not sure what if anything is going on... Tony hasn't said anything... look like he may have leveled out at about P11...
OK that was the first time I saw the new coke commercial... :)
Lap 246 still P9... someone just told Tony how many laps were left... Tony still quiet on the radio...
Tony is saying a little tigher in the center than he has been...
Lap 252 still in P9... Lap 257 still P9....
Lap 257 Darian just said 1/2 on fuel... Tony came back and said are you sure... we're not 5 way... Darian said sorry wish I could say that... (I'm guessing the tires are going...) Darian is telling Tony good job! Lap 260 still in P9
Darian is asking about the car.. if it's tigher or staying consistant... nice on entry and exit, just too tight in the center was Tony's response... Darian wanted to know about the take off... Tony said he doesn't remember it being any different they just don't take off good at all....
Lap 265 holding P9
Bob just said there are some guys that are starting to pit... one of them being Denny Hamlin... I think it's alwful early... Denny was having a tire problem... Wow JR just made a save...
Lap 269 still P9....
They are going to pit this time....(I don't know if this is early or not)... I guess it's when they wanted him... I don't know about a fuel run??? I'm guessing they are in there window...
I'll update running order when eveyone cycles through...
OK... I think everyone has made their stop and I have Tony back in P9 again lap 278....
Lap 281 and I have Tony P8... nope just droped to P10...
Lap 284 now P11... Lap 287 had dropped to P12... yellow just came out... Tony is saying there is no way this set of tires can be this slow... Yellow is the 11 lost a tire...
Pits are open... Tony and Darian are telling the time good job...I think Tony came out and will restart P11... Darian is telling Tony they should ahve about 33 laps or so to the end... and that he should be OK... their tire problems really don't start unitl then...
OK... green out at lap 292... restarted at P11...
wreck on the restart behind Tony... yellow out.... Tony lost to P14... Tony is not happy... Darian is telling him how many are on the lead lap.. and that he's in 14th... up to P13 Jimmie had to stop... cause he'd hit Ryan...
Darian is saying with the way tires have been he wants to wait until they call one to go then they will stop for 4... Tony is saying are you sure you want to do that cause they'd lose too much track position they'd have to go all the way to the back behind the lap cars... so now they are staying out...
Back to green lap 298 Tony restarts in P13... Tony wants someone to tell Brian sorry (I guess vickers)...
Lap 304 crap that wasn't good ended up 3 wide Tony's go a problem he's trying to get down... Bob said it's the right front... they are tyring to get him to the bottom so he can pit... He's on Pit road... That hurt! dropped them to 30th...
Tony wants to know what they found.. Darian said right front was loose...
Lap 310 hey we picked up a spot... P29... lap 314 ehy P28... every point counts...
If JPM gets around Kurt for the win I'll barf up my lunch!
Tony has moved to P27... 4 to go...
Yellow is out...wow... the 12 flipped over...
That was weird... Carl just drove through the 12 the 12 turned and just got airborn...
Tony is showing in P 25... They are going to stay out and take the wave around (talked about stopping....) Tony is asking if they are one down... Darian 10-4... Tony was asking if he got out... they said yes he's fine... Bob is now taking about Randy Lajoy in a busch race....TV is saying that the contact is payback for earlier????
I think I am agreeing that I'll be happy to see the spoiler back as I really do think they are right that the wing is part of the reason they keep getting airborne...
Tony is asking how/why the 88 is ahead of them... he's not...
OK Carl just got called to the house, parked him for the rest of the race and called him to the trailer... They are telling Tony that right now and what happened...
They are taking the wave around... so they won't pit and put them selves back on the lead lap...
OK intersting... people did all different things... with 2 tires/4 tires....
OK I think this is a GWC and Tony is in P25 and back on the lead lap...
Well... Carl just basically admitted that he wrecked him...
OK.. lets see what happens... this has the potential to be a HUGE mess!
Green out...Big, Big WRECK!!! buch of people.. the 1 the 5 and some others... I think Tony is OK... they are going to stop and put on tires now...
They are going to tape up the car and put the tires with air like it's a qual run... Tony wants a windshild...
I'm still sticking with my if JPM wins I'll barf...
They are stoping pits are open... Tony is saying that he's temp is up check the grill!
Well that helped moved up to P18...
Temps in the car are up 240/260... there wasn't debris on the gril Darian is saying keep the fan on....
OK Green is coming out... GWC again.. This is attempt #2... Here we go...
Ha, ha JPM had a bad restart.. white flag out! Tony P15 right now...
Checkers... the 2 won the race and I believe that Tony fought his way back to P13! GREAT job with all the issues!!!!
Darian just said nice comeback...
Finishing order... Kurt, Matt, JPM, Kasey, Mendard, AJ, Brian, Greg, Kevin, Speed, Ambrose, Jimmie, Tony.....
In all that Tony moved to 8th in point...
I never heard Tony come on the radio after the race...
OK I'm off!

| With all the tire issues, I'm glad Tony rebounded to 13th. |
