Michigan 400 @ MIR, 2016

[Retroram52]

These cars at these speeds with this low down-force package are presenting a challenge for many of the drivers to keep the cars from spinning out especially when other cars get close. Lots of active hands going on.

What is wrong with Tony? He's dropped to 26 after hovering around 15th for a while at the start.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like rain is on the way.

 

[Retroram52]

37 to go. Looks like they'll get this race in before the rain hits.

 

[Retroram52]

Geez, Logano has fallen back to 14th.

 

[Retroram52]

Edwards leads followed by Newman and the Bif.

 

[Retroram52]

Chase Elliott takes over the lead. Could be a win.

 

[Retroram52]

Elliott has a huge lead.

 

[Retroram52]

Larson has closed the gap down between he and Elliott.

 

[Retroram52]

Elliot responds by opening it back up to 2.8 seconds as traffic became a problem for Larson.

 

[Retroram52]

The only other driver to get his first win at MIS on his 29th start was Dale Jarrett. Today is Chase's 29th start. Strange indeed.

 

[Retroram52]

Kevin Harvick drags out Logano's pit member airgun. Another strange one. Let's see if NASCAR penalizes Harvick.

 

[Retroram52]

10 to go.

 

[Retroram52]

Elliot may be the second driver to win in the 24. There is Evernham standing next to Hendricks on pit road. Still hangin' around I see.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, Elliot had a terrible restart. Dropped to third behind Larson and Keselowski.

 

[BPNAZ]

Fucking embarassing. Definitely not his daddy. He choked TWICE on restarts. What a joke

 

[Retroram52]

Three laps to go and Elliott is behind by about a second and a half.

 

[Retroram52]

Larson takes it and Elliott has only himself to blame for the crappy restart. Larson gets his first win!

 

[jeffro151]

Good for Larson, he deserves it.

 

[BPNAZ]

Nice to see someone different win but he was gifted that one
