Believe it or not, I did have this ready to post for a few days now. I just forgot to actually post it. I know everyone was waiting patiently for this, so here goes. The longest race of the season takes it toll on equipment and driver alike. You may feel fine, but after 500 miles, your car may show signs of weakening. Especially at the speeds they are going and the strain on the engines. Kurt Busch, who was trying to accomplish the Indy 500 and Coke 600 double, saw his chances to go up in a plume of smoke as his engine blew on lap 271. Teammate Danica Patrick had they same fate ten laps later. One of the two fastest cars that night actually won the race with the second fastest finishing second. Johnson and Harvick led a combined 264 laps of the 400. Johnson finally won in 2014 (like we thought he would go winless).
In the big pool, no surprise, Brian had top scores. Mark and then myself were the top three. Brian is looking at having the biggest lead going into the second half, but will it hold up if he gets last picks? As it looks right now, Colleen would be getting first picks.
In the half pool, setting some sort of record, Brian, Colleen and Bruce all had #1 picks (12 overall for the half). This now tightens the field a little bit (like a phantom caution). I am not liking this as I still have the top two spots, but Colleen, John and Mark are making it interesting.
Good luck to everyone today in Dover,
Paul
