Belk Darlington 500

The oldest speedway in America, the Logocast Cup series ran in Darlington! Here are the results.

In turn 1, Morello passed Dorian for the lead, leading the pack down the backstretch.

Lap 61: Severn retires due to Header problems, joining Adkins who retired from mechanical problems 9 laps earlier int he race.

 Lap 72: Powers didn't see Dorian above him, and slid up the track getting into the wall and causing both damage. Both cars pitted to fix the damage, and ended both driver's chances to win. No caution was called.

 Morello managed to open a HUGE lead on everyone, as much as 24 seconds at one time. He was in lapped traffic most of the race while leading.

 Lap 162: After retiring last week, Walkowiak has engine troubles giving him a trip home early(and an 18th)

 Lap 181: While everyone was circling trying to catch the 21, Tabulov had gearbox problems ending his day.

 Lap 322: Nothing but putting in laps happened, Harkins makes a bad day worse for Chretein Racing, retiring from suspension troubles.

 Lap 326: Just 4 laps later, last weeks winner Wick retires from Gearbox troubles. Wick has 2 DNFs on the year so far, but was the best driver to not finish the race.

 Lap 159: With under 10 laps to go, Morello had been trying to lap the back half of the top 10 for many laps now, long enough for Barros to slide to the top and pass him on the high side.

 Lap 364: While trying to rally back, the 82 of Bowen slid up and collected Morello bringing out the first and only caution of the race.

 Under yellow, Barros leads the cars across the line and gets his 2nd win on the season.

 Here are the final results! Very uneventful, just had a lot of DNFs. Only 3 cars led this race. Morello led most of the race, Barros led the last 10, and Wick held a lead for a while when pit stops were cycling through. A total of 6 DNFs is a series record. None of them were from a caution.

Atlanta is the site of the next race. Our first mile and a half trioval! The best drivers are starting to distinguish themselves, and the points race is very tight.
