The race right now is insane. they just came back from a commercial break to Ryan Newman in the #12 Alltel Dodge flipping end over end down the back stretch. Ken Schrader is seems was also involved, then in an attempt to hit pt row, it ended up he ran right into Bobby Labonte, in the pit row wall. It appears on replay that Kenny Schrader knocked Newman into the wall, he then headed down pit row while Newman when sideways into the infield and lost a tire, and a part appeared to have dug in, thus causing him to flip, first sideways then end over end. Then, as Schrader was heading down pit row, he got into Bobby Labonte, who was also involved in the last pit stop, and the two cars got into the wall.
The good thing is that it appears all three drivers are going to be just fine. Unfortunately the cleanup from the wreck has delayed the race to the point that rain has now begun to fall on the track, and the race has been red flagged. I do not know right now who is/was the leader, but this is problem heaped on problem for getting this race done today. I am happy to hear that Kenny Schrader and Bobby Labonte have been cleared from the infield care center, and I await word on Ryan Newman. Race leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. says that the weather looks bad, and it is clearly pouring down in the sunshine state, specifically over the Daytona International Speedway. I will try to keep this up to date, but I have to leave in 45 minutes, but I am told my father is taping it for me.
