Ford Fusion 400

Now to the race with the logo I got super lazy on! The series goes to the D shaped oval in the mitten state, with a huge chance to put themin a decent position in the points.

An all Ford start for their home race, and Tabulov brings them to the line
Lap 18: Tabulov jumps to a big lead, but the Taylor Motorsports garage make moves to 2nd and 4th
 Lap 49: The leaders pit!
 Lap 58: Wick takes the lead with a speedy pit stop, and some traffic
 Lap 98: Wick stays in the lead until a green flag pitstop
 Lap 101: A HUGE development! Barros has to retire from electrical problems, and has his first DNF on the season! Zetticci was in 3rd, trying to gain as much points as he can.
 Lap 138: Irons goes hard under Wick in turn 1 and steals the lead. Irons hunted him down and took the lead.
 Lap 152: Irons stretched the run to be good on the final stretch, but he had to pit from the lead
 Lap 196: Irons was in lapped traffic, and Zetticci was gaining real fast on the 87.
 But Irons held on and captured the first win for Fletcher Autosport!
 Zetticci would've had him if the race had 10 more laps. The 6 was flying the entire last stretch. The 19 had to pit from 10th with 3 laps to go. 
The points were the big story because Zetticci almost had the maximum swing in points. He never lead a lap, so he didn't have a 5 point bonus, but it's very interesting now heading to Phoenix next week!
