BB&T 400


Race 2 of Season 1! Who will bounce back? Who will continue their run to the championship? Well see below!

Lap 1: Barros beats Morello to the holeshot and takes the lead
 Lap 2: The green flag run didn't last long. Zach Dorian and Jim Powers get caught on eachother in turn 1
 Lap 2: Racing back to the line, 3rd place Adkins spins it into the wall.
 Lap 132: Running in 2nd, 20 seconds behind Morello, Flint has to pit due to gasket troubles.
 Lap 151: On the same lap, Powers(2 laps down from the incident) retires from electrical problems, and Walkowiak retires from header problems.
 Lap 240: The race was almost settled. Only Wick and Morello were on the lead lap from pit stops cycling through, Tabulov and Unger hit eachother in turn 2, bringing out a caution.
 Lap 180: With 17 laps to go, Harkins spins right infront of two contending cars causing a caution bunching the field up for a shootout.
 Lap 187: Irons was looking to hold onto 2nd, but lost it in lapped traffic and spun up the track. No caution was called and ruined his day.
 Lap 393: Anthony Wick led the a lot of this race, and holds on for a huge win. A last place finish in Homestead was salvaged by a win at the Rock.
 Here are the results. Wick almost lapped the field on the green runs. He deserved a win, and got it in dominant fasion. Only Northstar had 2 top 10 finishers, but the rest of this race was very random and the top 5 all just escaped trouble long enough.
The series heads south 50 miles to Darlington next weekend. The oldest speedway in the US will be a huge test for all these drivers. Expect a lot of DNFs.
