Cheez-It 355 @ Watkins Glen, 2016

[Retroram52]

A lot of pre-race activities. Blah, blah, blah. Looks like Tony Stewart is starting up front. Should be an interesting race with Jeffy filling in for Junior one more time.

Watching a Carl's Junior bacon burger commercial with bikini-clad little females talking about a sandwich. This is like a new place here in Phoenix called Bikini Beans Expresso Coffee (an updated version of Debbie Does Donuts in Dallas). You have college-age girls running around with their asses hanging out selling coffee. The old adage continues: Put tits and ass (that are barely covered) next to anything and it'll sell. lol.

 

[Retroram52]

They are talking with Allmendinger. Let's see if he can get up front like he did a couple of seasons ago.

 

[Retroram52]

This track has been upgraded including a re-paving of the track. Might be interesting with the issue of grip.

 

[Retroram52]

All of the Joe Gibbs Racing cars are sporting windshield wipers. No rain in sight but perhaps JGR has discovered an aero advantage with those legal items.

 

[Retroram52]

Edwards leads Kyle Larson on lap one. Stewart is fourth.

 

[Retroram52]

Almendinger is on the move capturing 5 spots in 3 laps.

 

[Retroram52]

Jeffy bumps Dillon and Dillon spins out near the bus stop. Couldn't happen to a nicer prima donna.

 

[Retroram52]

Edwards leads Kenseth and Allmendinger at lap 12. Everyone is trying to make it on two stops. We shall see.

 

[Retroram52]

Tons of pit penalties on Edwards, Johnson, Kahne, Almirola, and Allmendinger. Mistakes are race-win killers.

 

[Retroram52]

Logano leads and continues to stay out.

 

[Retroram52]

When Logano comes to the pits, Danica will be the leader. This is something new.

 

[Retroram52]

Danica leads followed by Kyle Busch.

 

[Retroram52]

Danica still leads Kyle Busch at lap 45.

 

[Retroram52]

Danica is the pits and Busch takes over the lead. Danica didn't get the yellow she was looking for and she'll go back in the pack from whence she came.

 

[Rex Racer]

I love road races and I love Cheez its. I'm in heaven!

 

[Retroram52]

Some new people in the top ten. Kurt Busch leads and Danica and B. Scott are in there as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Stenhouse loses it and hits the wall head-on and then gets rammed by Jeem in one of those catastrophic accidents at the Glen.

 

[Retroram52]

The race has been caution/red-flagged.

 

[Retroram52]

Dillion, Biffle, and several others caught-up in the Jimmy Johnson/Stenhouse Jr. accident. Race has been officially red-flagged.
