Levi's 400 at Richmond

What a wild race this was! It saw a lot of spins, failures, and a surprise winner!

Bowen and McAffee lead the field to the green!
 Lap 50: Bowen, Richmond, and Zetticci lead the race grouped together far infront of the rest
 Lap 56: Morello continues to have trouble, an electrical problem means he is the first to retire
 Lap 96: Just as Richmond takes the lead, he goes into the pits as the green flag stops cycle through.
 Lap 99: Irons, who was running 5th drops a clutch ending his day
 Lap 136: Dorian spins in the turn causing damage
 And on that same lap, Adkins backs it into the wall and brings out a caution.
 Lap 180: After 40 green laps, early leader Bowen has gearbox problems and retires.
 
Lap 241: Wick and Flint were out front, they had a good restart and benefitted from trouble all around them

Lap 288: Team Harden continues to have trouble, with a Simms having a gearbox problem for himself
Lap 321: I just managed to catch this, but Bracket hit the wall hard on the front stretch
Lap 341: Davis and Barros got together and both hit the wall. This brought out a big caution when Flint was running away with this race. Only 4 cars remained on the lead lap.
Lap 359: Harkins ends his day with a fire. The last place driver in points cannot make any ground.
Lap 360: Walkowiak had a big power move under Flint to take over first!
And he holds on to the win! Walkowiak puts two good finishes together and is starting to turn his season arund! Flint caught up late, but still finished a second and a half behind.
And here are the final results! Tabulov, and Flint had good days, but couldn't make too much ground on Barros who was helped out the caution he brought out.
The next race will be at Bristol, a race that will have a lot of action and still could mix up the points!
